About this trip

On this add-on trip to Oaxaca right after our Mexico City Trip, we’ll get to meet several of these traditional cooks and taste their food, while also visiting local markets to get a deeper sense of the ingredients they use and the efforts being made to safeguard them. We’ll also go beyond the kitchen, learning about Oaxaca’s long tradition as an artistic center, even getting a chance to try our own hands at one of most famous local art forms. Of course, this being Oaxaca, we’ll also spend a day taking a deep dive into the fascinating world of mezcal, the agave-based spirit that is an essential element of Oaxacan life and culture. We’ll finish our trip with a hands-on lesson on making Oaxaca’s most famous creations, mole – a dish that, much this Mexican region’s rich culinary heritage itself, is the result of numerous ingredients being lovingly and carefully mixed together.

We had a wonderful trip. The guides put a huge amount of work and love into the details. The hotel is in a beautiful building with a great location. Highly recommend the trip and the tour company as a whole to everyone!

One of the best trips of our lives, for sure. We rescheduled the trip from last year and were still a bit nervous about traveling during a pandemic. However, the team from Culinary Backstreets did an amazing job preparing us and protecting us while still offering adventure, fun, culture, food, everything. Our two guides, Kristo and Maka, were so knowledgeable and warm. They really went above and beyond to make sure we had a great experience. We had so many amazing meals, drank great (and some interesting) wine and saw many parts of Georgia that we never would have visited on our own. Can't recommend strongly enough for curious travelers and foodies!
