What to expect

Experience Mexico’s culture! Create your own Lele doll with a local artist, enjoy an interactive coffee experience, and finish with a chocolate and local beer pairing led by a local chocolatier.

We'll begin with an introduction to the beloved Lele doll, a cherished symbol that has been crafted by Querétaro's indigenous communities for generations. Spend approximately two hours with Mari, our talented doll maker who has been a lifelong artisan. During this time, you'll create your own Lele doll, guided by Mari's expertise and passion.

Next, indulge in an immersive coffee-tasting experience with our dear friends Laura and Aldo. They bring their organic goods all the way from their mountain farm in Oaxaca. Learn about coffee production while sampling a variety of Oaxacan treats that highlight the region's rich flavors.

Conclude your journey with an exquisite chocolate (and optional local beer pairing) tasting led by Eric, our passionate chocolatier

This tour is a delightful blend of tradition, artistry, and culinary delights, celebrating the incredible gifts these artists have brought to our city. We love these artists + are excited to share their stories and talents with you.
