Located in a majestic 18th-century mansion in the heart of San Miguel de Allende, Sazón has been redesigned to offer a unique educational and sensorial experience. Under the direction of Chef Rubén Yañez, this new phase seeks to position Sazón as a space that transcends technical teaching, inviting participants to explore Mexico's culinary roots through meaningful and authentic experiences.

With classes designed to highlight both regional flavors and modern techniques, the school offers participants the opportunity to learn from Chef Rubén Yáñez and explore Mexico's culinary history from a practical, experiential perspective.
This experience offers cooking classes designed for all types of culinary enthusiasts. Each session includes a chef-guided tour of the local market in San Miguel de Allende, where participants discover traditional ingredients and culinary secrets. A hands-on class is then held in which participants prepare traditional dishes and enjoy a tasting of their food, all in a warm and culturally enriching environment.
Classes last three hours and are held daily at two times: 11:00 am and 3:00 pm. Groups are limited to up to 10 people and reservations are required. Private classes are also available upon request, ideal for personalized experiences or special celebrations.
