Agavia Bar is widely considered the best tequila tasting experience in Los Cabos. Unlike hotel tastings or large tour groups, we offer an intimate 90-minute masterclass with just 7 premium agave spirit tastings, hands-on cocktail making, and expert-led education.

The 90-minute masterclass gives you plenty of time to learn together, taste together, and create cocktails side by side—much more engaging than a typical dinner date.

What's the difference between tequila and mezcal?

Tequila and mezcal are both agave spirits, but they differ in production and flavor. Tequila must be made from blue Weber agave in specific regions (mainly Jalisco), while mezcal can be made from over 30 agave varieties across nine Mexican states. The biggest difference is in production: tequila agaves are typically steam-cooked in ovens, while mezcal agaves are roasted in underground pits, giving mezcal its signature smoky flavor. During our tasting at Agavia Bar, we explore these differences hands-on with 7 carefully selected spirits.

How do I get to Agavia Bar from my hotel?

Agavia Bar is located at Plaza La Jolla on the Tourist Corridor (Carr. Transpeninsular Km. 29-Local 10), between San José del Cabo and Cabo San Lucas. From downtown San José del Cabo: 10 minutes by car or taxi. From Cabo San Lucas: 25 minutes by car or taxi. From the Tourist Corridor hotels: 5-15 minutes depending on location. Uber is available in Los Cabos, or your hotel concierge can arrange transportation. Free parking is available at Plaza La Jolla. We recommend booking your tasting first, then arranging transportation—most hotels are happy to help once you have a confirmed reservation.
