We did the mezcal tour and had such an amazing time! It was so much fun, incredibly authentic, and we learnt so much about mezcal, the traditions, and the process behind it. You can really tell how passionate and knowledgeable the people are. Such a memorable experience and definitely something we’d recommend to anyone visiting!

We then did an excellent tasting of many different mezcals, and had a delicious lunch of traditional Oaxacan food made at the palenque. It was definitely one of the highlights of our time in Oaxaca!
