Los Cabos: Clay Molding and Tequila Tasting Experience

Traveling in Los Cabos doesn’t have to mean just lounging on the beach or snapping photos of iconic arches. For a taste of authentic Mexican culture, this 2-hour experience offers a delightful mix of hands-on art and flavorful tradition. For $32 a person, you’ll learn to sculpt your own clay creation under the guidance of a bilingual guide, then enjoy a tasting of artisanal tequila — both enriching activities that bring you closer to Mexico’s creative spirit and its famous spirit.

Two things we really liked about this tour are the chance to create a personalized souvenir and the informative tequila tasting. Making your own clay piece offers a tangible memento of your trip, something truly unique that you crafted yourself. Meanwhile, the tequila tasting isn’t just about sipping; it’s an educational experience with insights into the history and aroma profiles of Mexico’s most iconic drink.

A possible consideration is that this activity is quite short, just two hours, so if you’re looking for a more in-depth cultural experience or a full day of activities, you might want to pair it with other adventures. Also, children under 4 are not suited for this activity, so it’s best for families with older kids or adults seeking a relaxed yet enriching activity.

This tour is perfect for travelers who want to combine creativity with local flavor. It’s ideal if you’re curious about Mexican arts, love tasting spirits, or simply want a fun, memorable activity that’s different from the usual sightseeing. Whether you’re traveling solo, as a couple, or with friends, you’ll find this experience offers genuine hands-on engagement and tasty insights.
