About this experience
In this Moles tasting it will not only be a test of each one, but rather you will have the opportunity to listen to the history and rituals of Oaxacan food, each mole will be served in the different ways in which we locals enjoy it every day. We will have dynamics where you will learn about the general ingredients of each mole and you will be surprised to discover the fusions of flavors. Each mole is a different dish, which will make you end up very satisfied and happy to have joined us. We have unlimited mezcal along with the moles, so that you also end up being a mezcal expert at the end of the tasting. It is not a cooking class, but we also offer a class where you can learn to make two of the moles that we will present to you here, so you can ask us about that class.

Awesome Presentation Hector!
Hector and his sister are a wonderful team. I would request your experience with them. It was a highlight of our trip.

Seite moles, Cinco Rstrellas!
This experience was one of the best ones I've had in travel. Hector and his sister were extremely personable, and a wealth of information. We tasted seven moles, each made in-house. It's not just tasting on a chipper spoon, it comes as a mezze or tapa. It was definitely filling! Hector starts the experience by explaining about oaxaca's geography and its place within mexico. It is one of the most culturally and biodiverse regions of North america! He then explained and had a smell different kinds of chiles, spices, and herbs. We would be tasting for those flavors in each of the moles to follow. Has one does with a wine tasting, we started with the simplest and lightest, red, progressed through yellow, and then all the way up to a black bow light, which actually was black. Hector explained it was due to a difficult to find chile, which rarely finds itself outside of oaxaca. I'm intentionally comparing the mole tasting to wine tastings, because the flavors were so vomplex and surprising! Although this was not a cooking class, he shared enough guidelines and ideas for me to experiment when I get back to my own kitchen. We also had a mezcal tasting. The old cliche, if it grows together, it goes together, it was absolutely true here. I learned that Mezcal is the sophisticated older brother of tequila. There are dozens of different cacti that can be used in the scale, versus the only two in tequila. I learned the difference between copper distillation and terracotta. I picked up a real appreciation for spirit I knew very little about, just thought it was smoky tequila. Finally, he recommended several restaurants. Michelin agrees with a couple of them! It's hard to imagine a better experience if you are an avid cook or enthusiastic eater.

Hector was our host for...
Hector was our host for the tour and his sister was the chef! He gave us so much interesting information about the history of Mexico, Oaxaca, and the cuisine! Then, we got to try each of the 7 moles with a bit of food(rice, chicken, etc), so you get plenty to eat! The moles were all SO good!! I would definitely recommend this experience if you want to learn more about mole and get to try it! One thing to keep in mind, the GPS takes you to a slightly different house, go instead down the small side road, Hector's home is at the end of that road. We also had a little mix up with the start time (though it all worked out fine), but I would just recommend verifying the start time the day before.

Moles, Moles, Moles!
This experience was one of the highlights of our trip to Oaxaca. My suggestion--do not miss this very thorough, engaging, informative, and tasty introduction to the moles of Oaxaca. Hector was delightful and very knowledgeable about the area's history and culture. We learned about the nuances of the different recipes and the cultural significance of the moles. The moles were better than the moles we had at some of the "fancy" restaurants in town. Hector's descriptions, the presentation of the moles, and the location of the tasting (in a comfortable space in front of his home) were top tier. GPS seems a bit wonky and might take you a few doors from his place so if you take a taxi or Uber (as we did) you might have Hector explain to the driver his exact location. Highly recommend this delightful outing.

Why this scores 71
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Siete Moles Tasting: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Oaxaca City.
How much does Siete Moles Tasting cost?
+
Prices start at $78 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Oaxaca City usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Siete Moles Tasting 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 Oaxaca City is not rushed.
Is Siete Moles Tasting worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 71 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 15 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Oaxaca City, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Siete Moles Tasting?
+
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 Siete Moles Tasting 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 Siete Moles Tasting?
+
Around 5 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 Oaxaca City 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 Oaxaca City and add a light layer if any part of the 2-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Siete Moles Tasting 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 Oaxaca City 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 Oaxaca City?
+
On Outty we rank every Oaxaca City experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include AUTHENTIC OAXACA CULTURAL FOOD TOUR, eat like a local., Hierve el Agua 2.5 hours, Mitla, Tule, Rugs and Mezcal for a Day, Traditional Oaxaqueña Cooking with Grandma's Recipes. 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 Oaxaca City?
+
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 Oaxaca City?
+
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.
