About This Tour

Begin in an in-house art gallery to learn about San José del Cabo's vibrant art scene, then taste a variety of tacos featuring fresh local produce and fish, before trying house cocktails and sampling local tequila and mezcal. Run by Alma de Mexico at a local restaurant in San José del Cabo, this private tasting pairs real Mexican cooking with a proper tequila and mezcal education — not just shots, but context on what you're drinking.

Tequila and mezcal are related but genuinely distinct spirits, not interchangeable names for the same drink. Tequila can legally be made only from blue Weber agave, almost entirely within Jalisco and a handful of neighboring states, under Mexico's official Denominación de Origen Tequila overseen by the Consejo Regulador del Tequila; the agave hearts (piñas) are steamed in ovens before fermenting and distilling. Mezcal, by contrast, can be distilled from dozens of different agave species across several states — most famously Oaxaca — and is traditionally made by roasting the piñas in earthen pits, which is where its characteristic smokiness comes from. Baja California Sur sits outside both official regions, so every bottle poured here has genuinely traveled down from those mainland producing areas.

Both spirits trace back to an older, non-distilled drink: pulque, a lightly alcoholic fermented agave sap that Indigenous peoples in central Mexico were already making well before the Spanish arrived. Distillation — and with it, mezcal and eventually tequila as its own regulated style — only entered the picture after Spanish colonizers introduced the technique in the 16th century.

San José del Cabo's gallery district, a few blocks of cobblestone streets behind the town's historic church, has grown since the mid-2000s into a genuine cluster of working studios and galleries — a real backdrop for an opening stop before the tasting itself, not a stand-in generic art display.
