Discover the New Heritage Workshops at Mar del Cabo by Velas Resorts

Mar del Cabo by Velas Resorts has unveiled exciting new heritage workshops that celebrate Mexico's rich roots and flavors. These workshops provide guests a unique blend of cultural immersion and culinary exploration. Set against the stunning backdrop of Cabo San Lucas, these experiences connect visitors with the heart and soul of Mexico.

Experience the essence of Mexican cuisine

The culinary landscape of Baja California Sur is vibrant. The heritage workshops allow guests to dive deep into this world. Each session is designed to unveil the stories behind traditional recipes and techniques. The focus is on creating authentic experiences that reflect the region's history.

Sensorial gastronomic workshop: This private session with the Executive Chef explores corn's significance. Guests learn about pre-Hispanic cuisine and its influences. They handcraft traditional tortillas and garnachas on a clay comal. Crushing salsa in a lava-stone molcajete adds a hands-on touch to the experience. This workshop is a must for food lovers eager to understand Mexico's culinary roots.

Craft michelada workshop: Guests will discover the art of mixing. This interactive setup invites participants to explore various light and dark craft beers from local breweries like Baja Brewing Co. The Michelada, a popular Mexican beverage, gets a personal twist. With an array of ingredients, including house-prepared spiced Clamato and artisanal fruit chamoys, guests create their own unique drinks. Garnishing options like shrimp skewers and spiced gummies elevate the experience.

Wellness through tradition

The heritage workshops also focus on wellness. The Cacao Ceremony & Sound Healing experience is a serene gathering by the sea. Rooted in ancient Mayan and Aztec traditions, cacao is seen as "food of the gods." This heart-opening ritual helps guests cleanse their energy and set intentions for their stay. Coupled with sound healing, it offers a holistic reset for the mind and body. The tranquil setting enhances the emotional and physical benefits, making it a perfect escape from daily life.

In addition to the workshops, guests can indulge in the "Raíces de México" (Roots of Mexico) Tasting Dinner. This exquisite 4-course meal showcases elevated Mexican classics. Each dish is thoughtfully paired with traditional agaves, Mexican wines, and ancestral beverages.
