Tequila Tasting and Food Pairing 20 Minutes from Cancún

Tequila University is a 90-minute guided tequila tasting at La Sirena in Puerto Morelos, led by a Maestro Tequilero. You taste five or more artisanal tequilas, from blanco and reposado to añejo, paired with a five-course chef menu. Classes run daily at 4 pm except Wednesday. $2,800 MXN per person, minimum two guests.

Our Maestro Tequilero walks you through the agave, the craft, and the aromas that make every pour different, while our chef serves a dish created to match each glass.

Come with your partner, celebrate a birthday, bring your wedding party, or book the whole group. You will leave knowing tequila, not just drinking it.

This is not a quick tasting. Tequila University is a comprehensive tequila course for distinguished palates, held in a private area of the restaurant with your own chef cooking for your class.

“Go beyond the Margarita!”

“We learned how to judge tequila. The food we ate between the tastings was excellent plus we had a dessert with Tequila in it… Our teacher, Miguel knew his stuff and he made it fun.”

“Fun and informative event”

“We learned a lot about tequila and how it’s made and what differentiates tequila from mezcal… There were 5 different examples of tequila provided and each was served with a small delicious food / tapas pairing. The host Miguel was informative and entertaining.”
