Oaxaca Food Tours

Our most popular Oaxaca tours cover food, nature, and crafts. You can visit family mezcal distilleries and taste agave spirits out in the fields, swim at the petrified waterfalls of Hierve el Agua, or explore the ancient Mitla ruins.

You can also cook mole and tamales with a UNESCO traditional cook. Each tour shows you the real heart of Oaxaca.

A mezcal tour takes you to small, family-run distilleries called palenques. You walk through the agave fields, see how mezcal is made by hand, and taste several labels with the producers themselves.

Most tours also include a traditional Oaxacan lunch. It’s a relaxed, authentic way to discover Oaxaca’s most famous drink.

Yes, we do. Our Oaxaca cooking classes are hands-on and led by traditional cooks. You start at a local market to pick fresh ingredients, then learn to prepare classic dishes like mole, tamales, and tortillas.

Some classes are taught by UNESCO-recognized cooks in their own homes—and you get to eat everything you make.

They’re about both. Food is at the heart of every tour, but you also meet local artisans: Zapotec weavers, alebrije carvers, black clay potters, and cacao makers.

Many tours blend food, crafts, and nature into a single day, so you experience the full culture of Oaxaca.

We’re a socially responsible tour operator, and we work directly with local families, cooks, and artisans in line with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.

Every tour you take supports these communities. You travel in an authentic way—and help keep Oaxaca’s living heritage alive.
