Mezcal Tasting in Los Cabos: Our Guided Agave Tastings on the East Cape

Which tasting to pick

If you've never put sotol and raicilla side by side, take the Mexican Spirits Tasting. It's the wider one: mezcal, tequila, sotol and raicilla in a single sitting, with someone walking you through each and tasting notes to take home. $2,600 MXN, 60-90 minutes, daily.

If you already know you're a mezcal person (or a tequila one), the Tequila or Mezcal Tasting stays on that one spirit and goes further into it. $2,400 MXN, 60-90 minutes.

Both are for our guests aged 18 and over. Give us 72 hours' notice for the spirits tasting; for the others, 48-72 hours is fine.

What you're actually tasting

The short version, so the guide can spend the time on the glasses:

• Tequila: made only from blue Weber agave.
• Mezcal: can be made from many agave species, which is why two mezcals can taste nothing alike.
• Sotol: not agave at all. It comes from dasylirion, a related desert plant.
• Raicilla: another agave spirit with its own protected denomination, less often seen outside Mexico.

Mezcal with dinner

Our restaurant cooks farm-to-table Baja food, and dinner can come with a mezcal pairing if you'd like one. If you'd rather pair food with wine, we also do a Mexican Food and Wine Pairing on the yoga deck ($4,500 MXN per person) and a Mexican Wine Tasting of local wines, beer and regional spirits ($2,500 MXN per person).
