San Miguel De Allende Private Drinks Tasting with Sommelier

Summary

Mexican Spirits & Wine Masterclass in Historic San Miguel

Experience a guided tasting of Mexico’s best-kept liquid secrets—from smoky mezcal to bold regional wines—in San Miguel De Allende. Savor gourmet tapas as you learn from a certified sommelier who shares stories behind every pour. This is your chance to taste rare spirits, ask anything you want, and discover flavors you won’t forget.

What’s the experience like?

“Try this one—smell the smoke,” our sommelier said, holding out a glass of mezcal that caught the afternoon light. We were gathered around a long wooden table in a quiet corner of San Miguel De Allende, the kind of spot where you can hear distant church bells and laughter from the plaza outside. The first sip was earthy and sharp, nothing like tequila back home. I noticed how everyone leaned in closer, eager for the next story behind each bottle.

We moved from mezcal to sotol and then to bacanora—each spirit with its own wild background and flavor. Our guide explained why raicilla tastes almost peppery, and how posh is still made by hand in Chiapas. The room smelled faintly of agave and citrus, with little plates of canapés arriving just when we needed them. I liked how the sommelier didn’t rush us; she answered every question, even the odd ones about aging barrels or why some bottles had wax seals.

If you’re into wine, there’s a whole section on Mexican reds and whites too. I learned which regions are getting international attention now—plus a few tips on what to look for at local shops. By the end, my notes were full of names I’d never heard before, and my palate felt like it had traveled across half of Mexico without leaving that cozy room.
