As we look ahead to an exciting five-day reunion, the journey begins on Tuesday, April 14th, with arrivals into the vibrant heart of Mexico City. Guests will settle into the two designated hotels, each offering comfort and style, before gathering for an inviting opening-night reception where handcrafted cocktails set a warm and celebratory tone. Living art will be welcome memento to remember!
The evening then unfolds into a true culinary adventure at Contramar, one of the city’s most celebrated dining institutions. Known for its lively atmosphere and fresh, inventive seafood, Contramar offers a family-style menu designed for sharing, accompanied by a curated selection of wines and spirits. It is a relaxed yet refined start to the reunion — a chance to savor flavors, reconnect with friends, and immerse in the cosmopolitan energy of Mexico City, setting the stage for the memorable days to come.
Our second day together begins with a leisurely breakfast at the hotel before we ease into a full day of conference sessions, blending thoughtful conversation with a relaxed atmosphere. In the afternoon, the group will enjoy a casual stroll through the surrounding neighborhood, taking in the local charm and vibrant energy of Mexico City.
The day culminates in grandeur with a private tour and dinner at the National Museum of Anthropology, an experience that immerses guests in the very heart of Mexico’s ancestral heritage. As twilight settles over the city, the museum’s vast halls open exclusively to reveal some of the world’s most iconic pre-Columbian treasures — monumental stone carvings, intricate codices, and sacred artifacts that whisper of civilizations long past. Against this backdrop of history, dinner unfolds in the main patio as a refined celebration, where each Mexican course is paired with the stories of the cultures that shaped Mexico’s identity.
On this Thursday we spend together, we invite you to immerse yourself in the soul of Mexico City with a guided walking tour through the Centro Histórico, uncovering the energy of a metropolis built atop the ancient Aztec capital and shaped by centuries of resilience and reinvention. As you wind through its storied streets, you’ll visit the Zócalo, the Cathedral, the Templo Mayor ruins, Casa de los Azulejos, and the Palacio de Bellas Artes—each a testament to the city’s vibrant blend of past and present.
Lunch will be served at acclaimed Tori Tori Japanese restaurant with family-style delicacies, paired with the energy of a rooftop DJ. It’s a mix of traditional and modern flair: sharing sushi, tempura, or robata-grilled dishes while enjoying music under the open sky.
After savoring a rooftop Japanese feast with a DJ’s beats, you step into Polanco’s elegant streets. The jacarandas are in bloom, painting the avenues with violet clouds overhead and petals scattered across the sidewalks — a natural canopy that makes the stroll feel almost cinematic.
As you wander, the rhythm shifts from music to discovery. You pass by Onora, where artisanal Mexican design meets contemporary style; Lago, a concept space blending culture, gastronomy, and art; and Tane, renowned for its silver craftsmanship that embodies Mexico’s heritage in modern forms.
As the sun sets, the day culminates at Museo Anahuacalli, Diego Rivera’s volcanic stone masterpiece. A private tour reveals its treasures — pre-Hispanic artifacts and Rivera’s vision of cultural preservation — in an atmosphere that feels timeless and mystical.
Dinner unfolds outdoors in the gorgeous esplanade, beneath a canopy of stars. A gourmet offering highlights Mexico’s culinary richness, paired with fine wines or mezcal. The evening is alive with Mexican music, weaving tradition into the night. A surprise performance adds a touch of magic in a fusion act that bridges heritage and innovation.
Our fourth day together offers a sense of adventure and discovery, beginning with an optional hot air balloon ride drifting over the majestic Teotihuacán pyramids for those eager to take in the ancient landscape from above. The full group will then come together for an exquisitely prepared buffet-style Mexican breakfast served onsite by a dedicated chef followed by a exclusive tour of the pyramids, exploring this iconic archaeological site.
Coming back from the pyramids of Teotihuacan, the journey takes on a profound rhythm — from the silent majesty of ancient stone to the living heartbeat of modern devotion at the Basilica de Guadalupe is to trace Mexico’s spiritual evolution across millennia. The Basilica tells of a miraculous vision — the Virgin of Guadalupe appearing to Juan Diego in 1531, forever shaping the faith of a nation.
In the late afternoon, the itinerary takes on a cinematic glow with a private, closed-door visit to Chapultepec Castle. Perched high above the city, the castle is more than a vantage point — it is a living chronicle of Mexico’s layered history, from imperial residence to presidential palace, and now a museum of national memory. As the sun begins its descent, sweeping views of Mexico City stretch out below, the skyline gilded in amber light, while the castle’s ornate halls whisper stories of emperors, revolutionaries, and statesmen. It is here, surrounded by grandeur and history, that the stage is set for a memorable sunset toast, a moment where past and present meet in a glass of champagne.
The evening continues with dinner at Filomeno, a venue that captures the elegance of Mexico City’s grand homes of the 1920s while infusing it with the lively spirit of cantina-style dining. The combination of refined ambiance and spirited cuisine makes Filomeno the perfect finale — a place where the day’s journey, from castle towers to city streets, culminates in a feast that is both nostalgic and exciting.
After a Mexican breakfast a visit to Coyoacán is like stepping into a vibrant tapestry of art, history, and tradition. Wandering its cobblestone streets, you’ll find yourself drawn to the iconic Casa Azul, the former home of Frida Kahlo. The neighborhood’s bohemian charm continues at the Bazar del Sábado, a world-renowned market that transforms weekends into a celebration of Mexican craftsmanship. Alternatively, the morning unfolds with the spirited energy of a Padel Tournament, a celebration where camaraderie takes center stage.
The afternoon brings a change of pace with a Polanco walking and taco tour through the neighborhood’s most distinguished art galleries and elegant streets while exploring contemporary and modern creative spaces—and savoring standout local tacos along the way.
The reunion reaches its grand finale with a private, closed-door evening at Hacienda de los Morales, where history and elegance intertwine. In the main patio, the gentle murmur of a fountain and the timeless presence of a building dating back to 1647 create an atmosphere steeped in heritage and romance. Here, a Mexican toast sets the tone for an evening of celebration, followed by an elegant dinner framed by the vibrant folklore art of Mexico — each detail a tribute to the country’s cultural soul. As night deepens, the patio transforms into a lively stage, with a DJ guiding the rhythm of joy and connection.
It is a spirited, unforgettable close to the reunion, where centuries of taste, tradition and history embrace the energy of the present, leaving our Class with memories as enduring as the walls of the hacienda itself.
