Shaping and Tasting Pottery and Tequila Tasting

Discover a Unique Blend of Art, Tradition, and Flavor in Cabo San Lucas

If you’re looking to turn your visit to Cabo San Lucas into a memorable hands-on experience, the Shaping and Tasting Pottery and Tequila Tasting tour offers just that. For about $69.59 per person, you’ll spend roughly an hour engaged in a creative activity that connects you with one of Mexico’s oldest roots — pottery — and then indulge in a tasting of artisan tequila that captures the essence of Mexican craftsmanship and spirit.

What makes this experience stand out? First, you’ll mold your own clay piece guided by a bilingual expert, which means you get a tangible souvenir to take home. Second, the tequila tasting that follows isn’t just about drinking; it’s about understanding the aromas and cultural significance behind every sip. It’s a delightful combo for travelers who want a more authentic, creative, and cultural activity that’s also fun and engaging.

A minor consideration is that the activity is relatively short — about 45 minutes for the pottery session, plus the tasting — so if you’re after a longer, more in-depth experience, this might feel just a bit rushed. Still, if you appreciate quick, meaningful encounters that blend hands-on craft with culinary tradition, this tour hits the right note. It’s ideal for those who love discovering local artistry and regional flavors in a relaxed, friendly setting.
