Description
Good to Know
Hi, I’m Alvaro, and together we’ll embark on a journey to the heart of Oaxaca. Our first stop is Teotitlán del Valle, where we’ll visit an artisan cooperative dedicated to preserving the ancestral techniques of wool dyeing and weaving. From there, we’ll head to my picturesque hometown of Mitla—surrounded by beautiful mountains and agave fields. Driven by a desire to share my culture and traditions with you, I’ll guide you through these majestic agave landscapes so you can learn more about the plants and discover why mezcal comes in such a wide variety of flavors. There will be plenty of laughter and photo opportunities along the way. Afterward, we’ll visit our family distillery to see the production process step-by-step and witness the passion that goes into making it. We’ll wrap things up by tasting various types of mezcal accompanied by a delicious, authentic Oaxacan meal.
Throughout the tour, I’ll be fully attentive to your needs; my goal is to make you feel right at home and ensure your mezcal journey becomes an unforgettable memory.

Until We Meet Again

Experience was amazing. Our guide Leyda especially made the day, she was incredible! Loved walking through the agave fields, and then seeing the whole process of how the Mezcal is made from start to finish. Tasting was great and the lunch they took us to was truly delicious- would absolutely do this again!

We had an amazing afternoon on the Mezcal and countryside tour. The first stop to the textile factory was very informative and interactive.

The Mezcal tasting was fun and informative, and the Mezcal all tasted great! Finally we shared a traditional Oaxacan lunch at a beautiful resta...read more
