Experience Details

This is a tour for people who want to try something different and unique. The mezcales are carefully selected to be the best, just like tequila itself. We'll learn to tell the difference between mezcal and tequila. Although both are made from agave, their flavors are completely different. The food, not to mention, is carefully selected so you'll enjoy it and want to come back for more. If you still have energy, we can stop by to enjoy a craft beer or a local wine.

Sample Menu

STARTER
Lettuce with dill and avocado
Lettuce covered with an avocado and dill sauce on a nixtamal (ancestral method) tostada.
STARTER
Octopus toast in macha and peanut sauce
STARTER
California chili (no spice) stuffed with minilla´s fish
The chili is perfect because it is not spicy, it is charred in the smoker, opened and the prepared fish is added.

What You’ll Experience

Embark on a sensorial journey that delights the palate, captivates the eye, and awakens the senses. This carefully curated tour blends the flavors and history of Ensenada, beginning with tastings of premium mezcals and a top-shelf tequila. We'll also enjoy a local craft beer or a glass of regional wine; after all, this city is famous for both. We'll conclude with a visit to one of Ensenada's acclaimed restaurants, where you can savor a full meal or simply sample Baja Med cuisine, a fusion of local ingredients and international culinary influences. Along the way, we'll explore some of the city's most iconic historical sites: the legendary Salon Riviera, once a glamorous casino frequented by American politicians, gangsters, and athletes during Prohibition; the oldest cantina, Hussong's Cantina, in all of California, both in the U.S. and Mexico; and a picturesque plaza that housed a winery over a century ago.
