About Oaxaca Food & Wine Festival

Why Oaxaca?

After 15 years of producing the award-winning Key West Food & Wine Festival, we've taken the show on the road with the inaugural launch of the Oaxaca Food & Wine Festival. 

Known as the gastronomic center of Mexico, Oaxaca is simply the perfect place for food lovers to gather.

Love At First Bite
We've curated the culinary and cultural highlights this vibrant city has to offer; taste the 7 moles of Oaxaca, create your own chocolate bar at a cacao and chocolate-making workshop, 

visit a gallery to watch traditional alebrije art being created

and tour a thriving local mercado with lunch in the infamous "hall of smoke" 

But so much of the culinary action also happens on the street. We'll point you to the best food trucks and stalls so you seriously will be eating like a Oaxacan. 

If you're a wine and spirits lover, this is the event for you. Mexican wine, really? You bet! 

Experience the emerging regional wines being produced in Mexico today, and get up to speed on mezcal, the other iconic spirit produced in Oaxaca.

Make the Most Of It
We've packed a lot into 4 days but left enough time to explore the city on your own. And there's so much more to experience in the neighboring villages. 

Arrive earlier and stay later because we've got experienced guides to help you step back in time. 

Visit an archeological site, try your hand weaving on a 150-year-old loom, or see how red pottery is produced, just as it was done hundreds of years ago. Ancient, artisan crafts are just a stone's throw away.

Our venues are small and authentic so your experience will be upfront and personal. 

Come with friends, make new ones, and savor the flavors of Oaxaca.
