DAY 3 Oaxaca Culinary Tour (Women-only)

Today we head out of Oaxaca City to explore the land of mezcal and women artisans.
This full day trip starts with a visit to Zapotec community to learn about women artisans and their crafts. Seeing the dying process is incredible! From there we head to Matatlan the origin of mezcal to meet the artisans making mezcal. We’ll learn all about the production and of course we had to taste it. A long day but full of so much good food and company:)

“Oaxaca te atrapará…Oaxaca will trap you” I was told. I feel it, felt it.

DAY 1: Oaxaca Culinary Tour (Women-only) we had an incredible welcome dinner at Gueta -a women led cooperative that’s working to revive traditional recipes—after everyone checked into the hotel. Oaxacan food is so rich in flavors and ingredients.

I’ve been in Oaxaca City for three days before my group arrives today for our culinary tour. I really like it here. Of course the food but also the people and creativity. I found a group that dances rueda, ate delicious food (on repeat) and spent some time in a nearby town in an equinox retreat. It’s a little rainy but overall wonderful.

Just came back from an amazing trip to Tiradentes, Brazil. (Rio too). I went there for a gastronomy fest and was BLOWN AWAY. I’m an avid foodie and this fest was incredible plus the city of Tiradentes is beautiful! The food scene in Minas Gerais (the state where Tiradentes is) reminds me of a cross between Madison, WI (where I live) and Napa/tuscany. There’s wine, coffee, incredible cheese, lots of artisan foods and Michelin restaurants. Anyway! I highly recommend. I flew in and out of Rio and rented a car to drive to Tiradentes (about 5 hours). Put it on your list!
