Experience Details

Join this journey through the mezcal culture and its enchanting landscapes. The three activities of this experience are designed to immerse you in the soul of mezcal. First, delve into the natural wonders that shape the mezcal plant and its stunning surroundings, unveiling the secrets of its origin. Next, witness the almost alchemical art behind its preparation, a fascinating process that adds the perfect touch of distinctiveness to every sip.


To finish the tour you will have a tasting, where you will learn about various types of flavors, each intimately related to the various plants and the meticulous procedures that define mezcal, a fact that will be easier to understand after you have explored the factory and the countryside.
