Living Traditions Workshops: Gastronomy and Wellness at Mar del Cabo
In the heart of Los Cabos, Mar del Cabo continues to innovate with experiences that go beyond seaside relaxation. Its boutique concept, recognized for its intimate atmosphere and locally inspired cuisine, now expands with the Living Traditions workshops, designed for those seeking a deeper connection with food, health, and the culture of Baja California.
Inspired by the farm-to-table philosophy of the hotel’s signature restaurant, Encanto, the new programs —Art of Living Beverage Elixirs and Fermented Flavors of Baja— invite guests to explore the art of transforming simple ingredients into creations that both nourish the body and celebrate tradition.
A journey through fermentation, culture, and wellness
Fermentation has accompanied humanity for centuries, not only as a preservation method but also as a source of flavor and vitality. These workshops reclaim that ancient heritage and present it in an accessible, hands-on format where every step becomes a discovery.
In small groups of 2 to 10 participants, guests immerse themselves in a world where science and tradition meet: the role of microorganisms, the importance of water quality, the precise proportions of salt, and the key variables that define the success of each preparation.
Art of Living Beverage Elixirs
In this 2.5-hour workshop, participants explore the history of fermented beverages, from ancestral tonics to contemporary creations, while learning to work with beneficial yeasts and the art of natural carbonation.
The experience culminates in a guided tasting that highlights the nuances of the drinks prepared, along with starter cultures and materials for guests to continue their practice at home. An ideal opportunity for those seeking to extend health and wellness beyond the hotel’s table.
Fermented Flavors of Baja
The richness of Baja California’s local products takes center stage in this workshop dedicated to lacto-preservation. Throughout the session, participants learn to transform fresh vegetables into pickles and condiments bursting with flavor, exploring techniques that maximize both nutritional value and taste.
From crafting sauces to creating seasoned vegetables, each preparation reflects the authentic character of the region. The result: an experience that honors Mexico’s culinary roots while opening the door to new ways of incorporating vibrant, healthful foods into everyday life.
An experience that transcends the kitchen
Beyond technical learning, the Living Traditions workshops invite guests to rediscover cooking as an act of wellness and cultural connection. Every detail is designed to instill confidence and spark culinary curiosity in each participant.
