The experience
San Jose del Cabo's agave class starts with the plant itself. Your certified instructor walks you through how tequila and mezcal are made, the regional differences that shape their flavor, and how to spot the distinctions between varieties. You'll taste your way through artisanal and premium tequilas and mezcals side by side, learning to identify the subtle notes each production method leaves behind.
Then you move to the bar. With your instructor guiding each step, you'll craft two different agave-based cocktails from scratch, mixing and tasting as you go. The whole class runs 90 minutes and caps at ten people, so there's room to ask questions and move at a pace that lets the details stick.
What’s included
- Artisanal and premium tequila and mezcal tastings.
- two agave-based cocktails you craft yourself.

Top questions
What languages is the tour guided in?
Live guide in English and Spanish.
What happens if it rains?
It may be canceled due to bad weather. If that happens, you're offered another date or a refund. Free cancellation up to 24 h before the start.
What's the difference between tequila and mezcal that I'll actually taste?
Tequila comes from the blue agave plant grown in specific regions and is typically distilled twice, giving it a smoother, cleaner flavor. Mezcal can be made from many agave varieties and is often roasted in underground pits before distillation, which gives it a deeper, smokier character. The class lets you compare them side by side so you can taste these differences yourself.
Will I learn how to make drinks I can actually make at home?
Yes. The two cocktails you craft are iconic agave-based drinks, and your instructor teaches you the techniques and proportions so you can recreate them. The class focuses on method, not just recipes, so you'll understand how to adjust and build on what you learn.
Is this class only for people who already know about spirits?
No. The class starts with the basics of how tequila and mezcal are made and moves into tasting and mixing. Your instructor is certified and teaches from the ground up, so beginners and people with some knowledge both get something from it.
What happens if I don't like the taste of mezcal or tequila?
The tasting includes both artisanal and premium options across different agave varieties and production styles, so there's range in flavor. If one spirit doesn't appeal to you, another likely will. The point is to find what you enjoy and understand why.
