Welcome to our home.

Join us for a day in Oaxaca, where you’ll create dishes inspired by the region’s diverse cultures. We’ll start in a lush courtyard with Chef Miguel farm team, who will share the history and traditions of ancestral Oaxacan cooking. Next, we’ll stroll the garden to sample the herbs and vegetables that flavor our cuisine. Then we’ll visit a local market to gather key ingredients for dishes like moles, salsas, soups, and desserts. We hope you’ll join us for a day of rich gastronomy.

The kitchen

This is the heart of our home. The kitchen is where recipes are shared and meals are prepared. Here, food connects us to Oaxacan culture and nourishes our spirit.
