Master Mezcal & Yucatecan Cuisine: Private Chef's Market Tour

Dive deep into the flavors of the Yucatán Peninsula with a private culinary guide through a vibrant local market, followed by a hands-on cooking class and a curated mezcal tasting — a true insider's feast.

What to expect

Your private guide leads you through the Mercado Lucas de Gálvez, sourcing achiote, habaneros, and fresh masa directly from the vendors who supply the city's best restaurants. Back in the sunlit colonial kitchen, you prepare cochinita pibil and papadzules from scratch. A sommelier-led mezcal pairing closes the session with rare single-village expressions.

Good to know

Best paired with a Progreso port call (closest Yucatán port, ~45 min to Mérida). Book the private session at least 3 weeks ahead. The class runs approximately 4 hours — plan for the drive time to/from Progreso pier.
