Cozumel Craft Beer & Mezcal Tasting Tour with Brewery Tastings

Taste four craft beers and four mezcals without leaving the island

This guided tasting tour in Cozumel combines a brewery tour at Punta Sur with mezcal and food pairings at Mezcalteca, a short walk away. You'll taste four distinct craft beers with guacamole, four varieties of mezcal with tacos made from fresh ingredients, and finish with a sweet mezcal paired with a local dessert. A professional guide leads the experience in English or Spanish, and the whole tour runs about two and a half hours. Minimum age is 18 for the beer and mezcal tastings. Bring your ID to verify.

The experience

What makes this different from a typical shore excursion is that you're tasting at the source: starting at Punta Sur Brewery, Cozumel's only craft brewery, where the guide walks you through how the beers are made before you taste them. The first tasting pairs four distinct craft beers with freshly prepared guacamole, each one chosen to highlight a different flavor profile. This isn't a quick stop. The brewery tour itself is built into the experience, so you understand what you're drinking.

From there it's a short walk to Mezcalteca, where the food and spirit side of the tour unfolds. You'll eat four tacos made with fresh ingredients that anchor the mezcal tasting: four different agave varieties, each with its own character and history. The guide explains what you're tasting and why the pairings work. The tour closes with a sweet mezcal paired with a local dessert, a deliberate finish that ties the whole afternoon together. The whole experience is designed to move you through three distinct tastings without rushing, and the guide handles the pacing.

The tour is wheelchair accessible, and all areas and surfaces accommodate mobility devices. If you're traveling with infants or small children, they can come along in a pram or stroller, though they won't participate in the tastings. Public transportation options are nearby if you need them. You'll need to bring a valid ID to verify you're 18 or older for the beer and mezcal portions. That's a Mexican legal requirement, not a suggestion.
