In this 3-hour tasting experience, you’ll sit down in a welcoming local setting and explore 34 traditional and modern Yucatán flavours with a local host. No walking, no rushing, just a relaxed and immersive way to experience the region’s cuisine. You’ll taste iconic dishes like cochinita pibil and panuchos, along with local drinks such as horchata and xtabentún. Each tasting is thoughtfully presented to give you a clear understanding of what defines Yucatán cooking. As you taste, your host shares the stories behind each dish, from family traditions to the ingredients and techniques that shape the region’s food culture. More than a tasting, this feels like being invited to sit, eat, and connect, turning a meal into a shared experience rather than a tour. The experience ends with a traditional dessert and a final drink, closing a moment many travellers describe as the highlight of their time in Mérida.
