Reflective, prismatic, diverse.

On this trip, allured beyond its bleached-out beaches and wild coastlines we are drawn into the vibrant hubs of MEXICO CITY & OAXACA to taste, experience and engage with the ingredients, techniques and traditions of both mezcal and local cuisine.

We invite you to uncover with us cultural nuances expressed through ingredients, where the ancient past is reflected, and indigenous cultures are honored.

In Mexico City we stay at the newly designed Circulo Mexicano for 3 nights amidst a myriad of architecture from the ancient and colonial to art deco and modernist. On the outskirts of Mexico City, Xochimilco exemplifies sustainability, where floating agricultural islands produce 40 thousand tons of agricultural production per year…… fundamental to uncovering the connectivity and expression of gastronomy in Mexico.

In Oaxaca after our intercity flight, we find home at Hotel Antonieta or Hotel Sin Nombre for 2 nights, both remodeled homes into hotels, architecturally beautiful and drenched in history. From here we allow our palettes the continued romance with food as well as mezcal.

We will visit Casa Silencio’s design-forward agave production, sophisticated while honoring mysticism and the ancestral craft of mezcal.

Xochimilco and Casa Silencio are revered as ceremonial concepts of expression and connection with nature. Experiencing both allows a beautiful, contrasting vantage point to uncover expressions and techniques where food and drink are inseparable from life.
