Beyond the margarita, Los Cabos has quiet wine bars pouring Valle de Guadalupe labels, mezcalerías with spirits from small Oaxacan producers, and tasting rooms for tequila and agave.
Tastings are often guided and some need booking. Thursday evenings bring the Art Walk to San José del Cabo, when the Gallery District bars are at their liveliest.
