Culinary Adventures, Inc.

We are thrilled to announce the  continued pioneering legacy of Culinary Adventures Inc by offering trips from a different angle that put the now “usual” culinary trip to Mexico on its head!

We are determined to re-focus Mexican cuisines on their places of origin to build an understanding of where the contemporary (and modern) riffs are coming from. Our trips will start and end in Mexico City (unless otherwise noted), transporting as a group to the region of interest, then back for a final wrap up with our longtime friend and collaborator, Chef Ricardo Zurita. Chef Ricardo puts your experiences together cohesively in an unforgettable masterclass (and meal!) sharing his years of research, investigation and profound love for our cuisines.

Our Trips Include: •regional cooking classes •demos •3 meals/day with group, hotel (based on double occupancy) •ground transportation (and air within Mexico, when applicable) •all fees associated with the trip (entrance fees, tips and similar)  

Excluded are: •alcoholic beverages (apart from any we consider pertinent to a class or meal) •your airfare to and from Mexico •early arrival or departure accommodations •excess baggage fees •travel insurance (strongly recommended)

Group size: A maximum of 14 guests like a large family at a restaurant in Mexico, and a minimum of 6 to keep things going.

NEW ITEM: Due to inflation since 2019, we’ve come up with a sliding scale system to encourage spreading the word and, as always, make the concept of a group the size of a large family out for a meal appealing– and it is culturally understandable in Mexico. Each upcoming trip will state its own sliding scale.

I do like to reiterate that we are the pioneers of these culinary trips in Mexico and have done them with a deep respect for our country. I continue to stand up for fair payment and respect to the people in each region we visit. Our country and its rich cultures are not a bargain, nor should any culture be so, anywhere.  75% of your fee goes just to the cooks, artisans, guides and food related places and personas!
