The Tasting:

While you may have heard of the three sisters, Mexico also has three queens – maize (corn), cacao (chocolate), and agave (maguey).

These three distinct foods each carry their own ancient history, as well as daily and ceremonial nourishment for local people.

With a four course tasting as our vehicle, each month the founders of Itanoni Oaxaca, Oaxaca Profundo Sessions, and Expresiones de Mezcal invite you to join us on what is a deep gastronomical, cultural, and sensorial dive into the world and intersections of these three great Mesoamerican foods.

From the raw materials to prepared foods to rare versions of each, we challenge our guests to come with clean slate and palette, to learn and deepen our collective understanding of these culinary and cultural pillars.

When: Two Nights a Month (see calendar), 6pm-8pm, Tickets Required
