    Mixed Mezcal vs Tequila drinks experience and entertainment

    This was such a fun and engaging experience! Hosted in a vibrant Day of the Dead-themed bar and grill, the atmosphere was lively and welcoming from the start. The host was friendly and knowledgeable, guiding us through a tasting of mixed drinks made with both mezcal and tequila, helping us discover which spirits paired best with different flavors. The live entertainment was a highlight—talented performers sang beautifully, adding to the energy of the night. The food was delicious, complementing the drinks perfectly. Whether you're a mezcal lover, a tequila fan, or just curious to compare, this experience is a great way to sip, savor, and enjoy a festive night out. Highly recommend!

    A MUST-DO tequila tasting experience!

    Wow wow wow! I did this in April 2023 and had to recommend this to a friend so here's my review! This is like no other tasting experience. Not only because of the fun drinks, but the experience, the entertainers, and love for tequila ....I give this 11/10. I learned to love mezcal after this night because they have such great pairings! It was so fun to try the same cocktail with tequila and mezcal side by side. This is a MUST DO when visiting PV!!

    Tasty drinks and friendly staff! My favorite tasting in PV.

    The bartenders were very friendly and welcoming. The drinks were delicious and was swayed away from tequila to the smoky taste of the mezcals they served. I'm definitely more of a mezcal fan, now. The entertainment was very lively, and the bar's aesthetic did not disappoint. Thanks to Miguel and the rest of the bartenders. Will definitely do this again when I come back.

    Mezcal vs. Tequila Cocktail Tasting in a Cantina: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Puerto Vallarta.

    How much does Mezcal vs. Tequila Cocktail Tasting in a Cantina cost?

    +

    Prices start at $800 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Puerto Vallarta usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Mezcal vs. Tequila Cocktail Tasting in a Cantina take?

    +

    Plan for about 2 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Puerto Vallarta is not rushed.

    Is Mezcal vs. Tequila Cocktail Tasting in a Cantina worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 50 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 5 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Puerto Vallarta, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Mezcal vs. Tequila Cocktail Tasting in a Cantina?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Mezcal vs. Tequila Cocktail Tasting in a Cantina suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Mezcal vs. Tequila Cocktail Tasting in a Cantina?

    +

    Around 2 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Puerto Vallarta can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Puerto Vallarta and add a light layer if any part of the 2-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Mezcal vs. Tequila Cocktail Tasting in a Cantina start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Puerto Vallarta within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Puerto Vallarta?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Puerto Vallarta experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Winner 2026 Downtown Vallarta Food Tour with Vallarta Food Tours, Signature Taco Tour in PV with Vallarta Eats, Food & Mixology Tour:Tequila,Tacos, Mezcal and Agave Cocktails. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Puerto Vallarta?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Puerto Vallarta?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
