This is not a cooking class or a typical food tour, it’s a juicy, flavor-packed dive into Mexico’s tropical bounty, led by a local fruit enthusiast.

If you choose the full experience, you’ll begin with a guided walk through a traditional market in Mexico city, where your host will handpick and open a variety of exotic fruits for you to try, some familiar, others wildly unexpected. Prefer to skip the market? You can opt for the tasting session only, in a relaxed setting.

While tasting, you’ll learn about:

Nutritional benefits

Cultural roots and regional stories

Seasonal availability and local farming

Traditional uses in Mexican cuisine, drinks, and even remedies
