Tortillas & Salsa: A Rancher's Lunch - Half Day Culinary Experience in Mexico

Enjoy and make your own sauce and tortillas from scratch, with a local chef in a restaurant at a ranch that has a bio-cultural gastronomy project. On this tour, you'll learn more about the local products of this wine and cheese route, that's part of Ensenada's Unesco Creative City of Gastronomy designation. This will all take place around a beautiful natural environment, where some of the products you will prepare and eat are obtained from! Get your hands dirty by making part of your own lunch with a rancher's flavour and take away the best tips you can get to cook when you return home! The full meal will consist of a goat meat that we call barbacoa, with juice and/or coffee, (we have other options in case you don’t eat goat meat or are vegetarian). Once we've enjoyed our lunch and we're heading back to Ensenada, we could even stop by a local store to taste or buy the Real del Castillo local cheese to take some back home with you!
