A world-class wine room without the attitude is a rare find, but Copal has mastered the art. 

Surrounded by walls of wine bottles stacked floor to ceiling, 

you are invited to a deeply intimate, private wine-tasting and dinner experience. 

The restaurant delivers an incredible ambiance, filled with the rich scent of burning copal

the aromatic indigenous wood used to carve the city's famed alebrije folk art.
