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

A Must-do Mezcal Tasting Experience! - Book this great experience, you won’t regret it! You won’t even be particularly hungover, despite drinking plenty of Mezcal. Shamira is a knowledgeable and friendly host. She was eager to share her knowledge of Mezcal and of Mexican chocolate, and she made the effort to connect with us on a personal level. Do be aware going in that this experience takes place at the hosts house, in a residential part of Tulum town (as of Jan 2024). Don’t be alarmed! Shamira has made her outdoor patio into a beautiful oasis (seriously, we took decor notes to bring home), and you are in good hands for this experience. We can’t recommend this experience enough. If you’re curious about Mezcal but know next to nothing about it like we did, make sure to book the Mezcal & Chocolate Tasting with Shamira.

Amazing, unique, and delicious gourmet experience full of history and enthusiasm! - We just had a once in a lifetime experience with Shamira— an incredible mezcal and chocolate tasting full of Mexican history, mezcal and chocolate information, and a one of a kind unique tastings of mezcal and chocolate that are not available in the Yucatán and even many parts of Mexico. Her energy, her knowledge, and her enthusiasm were unmatched by any expert we’ve ever met…. Not to mention she did the whole thing in English for us, even though she’s a native Spanish speaker. We were beyond impressed. HIGHLY recommend this experience for anyone and everyone visiting Tulum!

Must do activity in Tulum! Worth every single penny and minute - The host, Shamira is very knowledgeable, her place is so beautiful and near the town centre. Even though I had done mezcal tasting in Oaxaca prior to Tulum, it wasn’t as fun and interesting as this one with Shamira! I learnt so much of its history (in a fun way) and sampled 5 different types of artisanal mezcal (not the diluted ones sold at touristy places) with different tropical citrus fruits and traditional Mexican chocolates (not the low quality tasteless ones sold in touristy places). Shamira also made us a mezcal cocktail which was very refreshing! I thoroughly enjoyed myself and this was a major highlight of my Tulum trip! I highly recommend everyone to join her mezcal and/or chocolate tasting sessions! She also sells the chocolates and rare mezcals that she handcarried back from other Mexican states and cannot be found here in Tulum which is so awesome and convenient for tourists like me.
