Overview

Cozumel is famous for reefs and beaches, but the island has another side—one brewed locally, poured from agave, and served on a warm tortilla.

This experience turns downtown into the destination with a tasting built around four craft beers, four gourmet tacos, and four mezcals. The beer introduces you to what Cozumel’s craft scene is creating today. The mezcal connects each sip to centuries of Mexican tradition, while seasonal tacos bring those flavors together at the table.

This goes beyond sampling. You’ll discover why each beer tastes different, how the agave shapes every mezcal, and what happens when those flavors meet the right taco. Even dessert gets its own pairing, finishing the afternoon with a sweet mezcal and a final taste of the island.

Designed to fit into a day in port, the 2.5-hour experience still leaves time to explore downtown before returning to your ship. It’s not just lunch with drinks—it’s a side of Cozumel you can taste, understand, and bring home as a story.

What to expect

One afternoon, two local favorites, and a lineup worth arriving hungry for: four craft beers, four gourmet tacos, and four mezcals.

Your 2.5-hour tasting tour begins at Restaurant Palmeras in the heart of downtown Cozumel. Meet your guide and take a short walk through town to Cozumel’s first craft brewery.

Go behind the scenes for a brief introduction to the brewing process and discover the care that goes into every batch. Then, sit down to sample four locally brewed beers, each served as a 4-ounce tasting and accompanied by fresh guacamole and crispy tortilla chips.

From the brewery, continue on foot to a tucked-away local mezcal bar, where four gourmet tacos featuring seasonal flavors await. As you eat, your guide will introduce you to Mexico’s ancestral agave spirit and lead you through three distinct mezcals, revealing the flavors and character behind each pour.

The experience ends on a sweeter note with a local dessert paired with a sweet mezcal. Afterward, walk back to Restaurant Palmeras, perfectly located for exploring more of downtown Cozumel before returning to your cruise ship.
