Mezcal and Mexican Tacos Tasting in Madrid

Context The mezcal and Mexican tacos tasting takes place at VinoPremier, a specialized wine bar located on Calle Francisco Silvela, 25, in central Madrid. This vibrant neighborhood is easily accessible via multiple metro lines, making it convenient for visitors. The event offers an immersive experience into the rich traditions of mezcal and tequila—two spirits with centuries-old histories and region-specific production methods that vary by agave type and region. VinoPremier hosts small groups in a warm, intimate setting where the scent of aged wood and spices blends with the fresh aroma of handmade tacos.

The Experience Over the course of two hours, a professional sommelier leads the tasting, explaining the history, production techniques, and sensory profiles of each spirit. Four artisanal drinks are sampled: two mezcales and two tequilas, each showcasing distinct aromatic and flavor characteristics. The tasting is enhanced by authentic Mexican tacos, including pulled pork with pico de gallo and chicken tacos, which provide contrasting textures and flavors that elevate the tasting journey. The atmosphere is relaxed and welcoming, encouraging questions and conversation, while the breeze carries the fresh scent of cilantro.

For Whom This activity is ideal for adults over 18 who are interested in Mexican cuisine and artisanal spirits. No prior knowledge is required, but a willingness to learn and taste mindfully is encouraged. The event is not suitable for individuals with food allergies related to taco ingredients or for minors.
