We had so many wonderful and special experiences in Oaxaca. What really put everything over the top though was the incredible group that we brought with us to Oaxaca! It was a group with passion, knowledge, curiosity and energy. It was an absolute pleasure to travel and experience #randtoaxaca2020 with everyone who joined us! A huge gracias to @atateka @davidsprintis @joeyb_eats @kittysconzo @lempka_gram @ljsconzo @rona.edelman @sonia.castellani & @tompersons for making this such a fun trip!

On the last night of #randtoaxaca2020 we put our chef ( @lempka_gram ) and others to “work” making salsas (as we had earlier put the bartenders on our trip to “work” leading the teams in our cocktail workshop/competition. We had a suitably wonderful traditional Mixtecan dinner from @olgacabreraoropeza and her team @tierradelsolrestaurante to bring this tour to a close.

We love including top shelf cocktail workshops in

We love including top shelf cocktail workshops in our tours. Thanks to @akawinegeek @delmagueymezcal @puroburrosf and @ofrendaoaxaca the one we had for #randtoaxaca2020 was sensational. It mixed free-flowing top flight #singlevillagemezcals with incredible cocktails made by Steve Olson & Eric Giardina. To top the workshop off, we had divided into three groups of four people for a friendly cocktail competition in which each group devised and made original shaken, and stirred cocktails using Del Maguey Single Village Mezcales and produce we had bought at the market in Ocotlan. It was so much fun doing it that I don’t have any photos of the actual competition!
🇲🇽
We owe a huge, huge thank you to @akawinegeek and the entire team @delmagueymezcal for their incredible #hospitality and going so far above and beyond to introduce our group to so many of the wonders of #mezcal and of Oaxaca, insights we could not have had in any other way. Stigibeu!

We ate very, very well in Oaxaca, but the overwhelming standout was Alfonsina by @cocinan . The experience excelled in every way. His cooking would be wonderful anywhere, but at the home he shares with his family, it is sheer magic. #randtoaxaca2020 For photos of the food from this wonderful meal, see @docsconz 🇲🇽

Monte Alban is one of the most spectacular archaeological sites in the Americas. Our visit coincided with perfect weather and few other visitors to make it extra special. #randtoaxaca2020
