Testimonials
Definitely one of the best day of my trip in Oaxaca. I loved all the moments of this experience and when it was time to say goodbye I didn’t want to go, because I was so happy spending such a good time with such good and positive people. Our chef Renato is really knowledgeable and such a lovely and kind guy. I loved the time at the market, where Renato explained us in details all the ingredients we were buying and then cook all together listening mexican music was such fun. You’ ll also try an amazing artisanal mezcal at the end of the tasty lunch you have cooked. Definitely highly recommended it! Do not hesitate to do it, you will not regret it!

“My sister and my 96-yr old mom and I took Juan Carlos' mixology class and loved it. The venue is really special. The "mixology" room is behind his mezcal bar and opens onto a beautiful open-air garden room full of different agave plants. It was our first introduction to mezcal and he taught us in great detail how to go through the tasting process. Then we went into the mixology room, where he had different local fruits, spices, and greens all ready for the creative process of designing your own cocktails. The first step was to learn the basic foundation of preparing a classic cocktail, and then we got to experiment. My mom loved this part and we all loved tasting our experiments! All of the proceeds of his classes go to his nonprofit organization, which is focused on teaching local people about Oaxacan heritage foods and food preparation so that they can benefit from the huge food-culture economy here.”
