Highlights
  • Servicios de Tecnologia y Comunicacion Garfield Tulum - Utilizing our senses, we will sample Mezcal from various Mexican locales and distinct agave species. Each Mezcal tasting will be complemented traditionally with fruits, appetizers, and, notably, handcrafted Mexican Chocolates following each serving. As we indulge, we’ll delve into the history and myths surrounding Mezcal, its production techniques, and its rich, diverse cultural significance.

We will savor five unique mezcals, accompanied by customary snacks to enhance the flavors, and to refresh our taste buds, making the experience unforgettable, we will enjoy a Handmade Mexican Chocolate after each Mezcal.

Like the diverse grape varieties in wine, agave too comes in numerous types, each imparting a distinct taste and scent to Mezcal. Crafted throughout Mexico with traditional methods, Mezcal adheres to rigorous production criteria and is protected by a denomination of origin.

Inquiring about Mezcal’s roots takes us to the very earth of Mexico, as we traverse the palenques of the native people who manually crafted this spirit and consumed it during their most sacred rituals. However, it was not for everyone; only the elite drank it - the priests, the warriors, and the nobility.

What's Included
  • Tasting of 5 different mezcals
  • Traditional snacks paired with mezcals
  • Artisanal Mexican Chocolate after each mezcal
Meal Options
  • Mezcal Cocktail

Perfect start to the trip - Sami gave us an amazing experience, and I would definitely recommend the Mezcal and chocolate tasting! You wouldn’t think it from the street, but once you get inside, it’s such a cute environment. Sami is an amazing storyteller, too, and we loved chatting with her.

Fantastic! - Samira, her mezcal selection (and knowledge), chocolate pairing, and snack combination are enough to make anyone a super fan of not only Mexican chocolate, but the delicious and important spirit that is mezcal. Sitting on her gorgeous patio, the intimate setting of the tasting makes you feel like you've known Samira for years learning of the deep history of mezcal and chocolate, as well as their spiritual and health benefits. Working directly with the indigenous mezcal masters to bring incredible, small batches of the drink to life, Samira clearly emphasizes the cultural and historical importance of mezcal and those who make it. Her recommendations for pairings and traditions in drinking mezcal really highlight her knowledge and we were so blessed to have her share that with us. Thank you, Samira! I will absolutely seek this experience out again when we return to Tulum.

Great host, intimate setting, excellent history and mezcal! - Excellent host who knows her stuff. She’s a fountain of information and encourages all kinds of extremely unique pairing options. I’ve been to many “wine and cheese” pairings but imagine pairing citrus with grasshopper salt with your mezcal! Really surprising!!

Perfect experience! - The hosts were so so great! Do knowledgeable, so nice, and made the experience so great. We got about 4 shots of mezcal and a drink. Lots of fruit and chocolate to pair with the mezcal. The pictures turned out great and we had a really good time. Perfect for an activity on a bachelorette

Highly recommend if you love history, chocolate, and mezcal! - We had such a great time learning about mezcal and how it’s made. As enjoyers of it, we never knew how it was made and there was so much rich history and tradition tied to it . I did this experience with another couple and we were so grateful for the hosts hospitality…we were provided so many mezcal tastings, so many chocolates, snacks, and even a small gift as we left. Highly recommend this tour and highly recommend booking through her Instagram direct @tulumadventures so she doesn’t get the fee taken by TripAdvisor/chase/etc.
