What people are saying

  • “It’s more than being unique (although it has that in spades). It’s the passion and knowledge shared by the two hosts. It felt like an epic journey, even though our butts rarely left their seats. The whole evening felt special, rewarding, and important.”

    — Arthur E.

  • “One of the more unique experiences we’ve had both in Mexico and in our world travels. The hosts were amazing and I can’t recommend this experience enough.”

    — Jayme P.

  • “My eyes were opened to the wonders of mezcal. My experience with mezcal distributed in America did not prepare me for the complexity and variety of locally sourced, small-batch mezcal. Ahuehuete was one of my favorite experiences in Mexico City.”

    — Yancy de L.

  • “A unique, informative, fun and lubricating experience. The hosts are warm and knowledgeable and committed to educating the hoi poloi about mezcal and preserving its ontogeny. We all left embraced in a warm glow, having been exposed to some truly unique and unexpected mezcals, suffused in new found knowledge and respect for a deep and rich part of Mexican culture. You can imagine how annoying we must have sounded at cocktail parties afterwards.”

    — Gavin F.

  • "It was a fantastic experience. The hosts were engaging, welcoming and knowledgeable. And the spirits were the highest quality and some of the best I’ve ever had. The perfect experience."

    — Margot N.

  • “A truly amazing experience. Their love for Mexico, it's culture, and spirits shines through in the stories and experiences they share from across Mexico over a diverse and eye opening set of agave spirits. Simply amazing, can't recommend this highly enough for someone who appreciates learning and experiencing food and culture.”

    — Ricardo L.

  • "Radical. This was THE experience to have in Mexico City. I learned so much, I tasted so much, I had so much fun. I would do this again any and every time I visit the city."

    — Caleb M.

  • “This was such a beautifully curated, specific, and special experience. It’s not only one of my favorite things to do in CDMX but one of my favorite travel experiences anywhere ever. It was cultural anthropology meets spirit sampling among what felt like dear friends.”
