Your culinary journey begins at our beautifully designed cooking studio in the heart of Roma Norte. You'll be welcomed with a refreshing Agua Fresca, premium Mexican coffee, or our herbal infusion, paired with an authentic Mexican appetizer, as your chef shares the fascinating history and soul of Mexican cuisine.

From there, we'll walk to Mercado de Medellín, steps from the studio. This guided market tour offers a window into daily Mexican life and the ingredients that define its cuisine. Along the way, you'll enjoy curated tastings: native corn tortillas, raw cacao, Oaxacan chocolate, seasonal fruits, and for the adventurous, edible insects, a true Mexican tradition.

Back in the studio, it's time to cook. You'll roll up your sleeves for a fully hands-on class where you'll master four iconic dishes — from pre-Hispanic roots to our acclaimed White Mole, featured in "101 Reasons to Taste the World" by the Cook and Chef Institute.

You'll then sit down to enjoy every dish you've prepared, paired with artisanal mezcal, Mexican craft beer, or fine Mexican wine.

Leave with new skills, recipes to recreate at home, and a deeper connection to Mexican culture that will elevate your trip.
