Details

At Batch, a cozy downtown hideaway with a deep bottle lineup, you will test your senses as mezcal and chocolate meet in a blind pairing designed to slow you down and sharpen your palate. Join Rufina Mezcal owner Leo Benavides and Phoenix’s Embers Chocolate for an intimate tasting that explores how aroma, texture, and place shape flavor, from agave fields in Oaxaca to cacao transformed bean-to-bar.

This is a special ticketed experience with only 24 seats, featuring five mezcal pours paired with five chocolate bites. Rufina brings small-batch expressions from a collective of mezcaleros in San Luis Amatlán, Oaxaca, while Embers (a woman-owned chocolatier) crafts chef-inspired chocolates with unexpected flavor profiles. Stay after to purchase take-home chocolate bars and select retail bottles at special pricing.
