Finally, we will share the meal with everyone present, as well as the flavors of Oaxaca. Dare to live this unique culinary experience!
Mole Class
Start time: 10:30am & 3:30pm Duration: 4 hours Price: $1100 MXN per person The class focuses on the preparation of a mole recipe whose name originally means "ground"; this dish is emblematic for being pre-Hispanic and for having a combination of various spices and chiles.

Afterwards, all the guests and the chef will carry out the process of elaboration of this mythical recipe and then taste it. The experience will be accompanied by good music, pleasant chats and curious facts about Oaxacan gastronomy. This project promotes sustainability and zero impact on the environment.
Chocolate Making Class
03
Starting time: 9:30am & 3:00pm Duration: 2 hours Price: $1100 MXN per person A workshop to learn about the history, flavors, effects and processes of cocoa. We will work with one of the best cocoas in the world called "criollo", which is found in the jungle zone next to the pacific. The design of chocolate often depends on how we feel, how we want to perceive the world or how we want to make our loved ones feel. We will prepare the chocolate in an artisanal way: roasting the beans, cleaning them, grinding them, preparing the formulas and putting them in molds. To continue, we will do a tasting of chocolate prepared at the time and some more tests to enjoy the culture of chocolate. If you venture into this workshop, you will have the opportunity to take 150g of chocolate home with you.
Mixology Class with Mezcal
Start time: 7:30pm Duration: 2 hours Price: $1100 MXN per person In this experience the most important thing is your imagination. First, we will talk about the history of mixology in our communities and then we will elaborate cocktail bases. For the elaboration of cocktails we will use a variety of organically grown products and exotic wood sticks. It is important to present all the local products to understand how a cocktail is structured and interpreted. You will be the bartender and will be able to create classic and contemporary cocktails, as well as be creative with a new proposal. You don't need to be an expert, the best thing is to enjoy the cocktails in your own bar. Welcome to the workshop and lots of partying, as they say in Oaxaca. We invite you to make cocktails with us.
