Description

Discover the most vibrant and authentic side of Mexico City as you cruise the Xochimilco Canals. This is not just a tasting: it’s a cultural experience on the water, featuring great music, unique flavors, and a relaxed atmosphere that celebrates the best of Mexico. For two hours, you’ll tour Xochimilco aboard a traditional trajinera, accompanied by local hosts who will make every moment special. You will enjoy a guided tasting of artisanal mezcals, including young and aged varieties, as well as some with unique flavors, carefully selected to delight your palate and showcase the diversity of this Mexican spirit. At the heart of this tasting, you will find a few accompaniments that enhance each sip of mezcal—flavors that balance, contrast, or awaken new sensations on the palate. Some are traditional, others completely unexpected… but all are designed to make each sip a unique and memorable experience. Between each tasting, the experience flows with lighthearted and fun activities that will invite you to connect with other guests, share laughter, and soak up the great vibes that define Xochimilco. More than just a tasting, this is a cultural celebration that brings together flavor, music, and human connection in a natural and vibrant setting. Your guide will ensure that the atmosphere remains lively and welcoming, offering a variety of artisanal mezcals and non-alcoholic beverages to balance the flavors. Every detail is designed to ensure you enjoy a unique moment: cultural, lively, and imbued with that warm touch that only a local experience can offer. We will make a brief stop at a small chinampa, where you can take photos, use the restroom, and, if you wish, purchase additional food or drinks. This is the perfect time to enjoy the scenery and soak up the tranquility of the surroundings before continuing the celebration. And because we don't want you to forget us (even if the mezcal works its magic), at the end of the tour, you'll take home a very special souvenir: your own handcrafted shot glass, ready to travel with you in your suitcase and forever remind you of the best experience of your life. Come and enjoy an out-of-the-ordinary tasting experience: unique flavors, a great atmosphere, and the joy that only Xochimilco can offer.
