Baja Mezcal Tour
Highly acclaimed mezcal-culture bar and kitchen Tahona invites guests to come along for its next Baja Mezcal Tour, a group daytrip that will highlight several of Baja’s best spots on Sunday, July 21. While south of the border, guests will sample dishes in one of Tijuana's best culinary destinations, discover a secret park overlooking the ocean and end the day watching sunset at one of the best bars in the world. Plus, sample three unique brands of mezcal while learning about this amazing spirit that originates in Mexico. Trip Itinerary (weather permitting): Departure at 10 a.m. from a central location in San Diego in an air-conditioned van (location will be shared with ticket holders) First stop: a fantastic food hall experience in Tijuana. Sample several of the region’s top tacos and creative dishes, accompanied by the day’s first mezcal tasting. Second stop: a secret park overlooking the ocean near Tijuana's beachfront neighborhood, Playas. At this stop you will learn about the process of producing mezcal and what makes this spirit so unique. Third stop: a luxurious development considered one of Baja’s best kept secrets and poised to become Baja’s best community. After a private tour of this project, the group will head to Cuatro Cuatro’s Bar Bura, which overlooks the ocean and has received accolades from the likes of Sunset and Vogue. And of course, we'll end this day with a final mezcal sampling, plus stories of mezcal legends. Return to San Diego after sunset (expected return approximately 8 p.m.) Tahona’s Baja Mezcal Tours are limited to approximately 10 guests.
