Experience Details

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.

San Pablo Villa de Mitla

Revealing Traditions Our journey continues at the doors of my family’s mezcal distillery, where the air is rich with the sweet aroma of roasted agave — a promise of the treasures that await inside. Guided by me and our maestro mezcalero, you’ll step back in time to witness the ancient process that transforms the humble agave hearts into the liquid gold known as mezcal. The highlight of our experience comes with a tasting of our finest mezcals, each one with its own character, story, and soul. As you raise your glass, the velvety spirit dances on your tongue, revealing flavors that range from earthy and smoky to delicate and floral. With my guidance, you’ll learn to recognize the subtle nuances in every sip — a journey that awakens your senses and deepens your appreciation for this remarkable elixir.

Oaxacan Feast & Friendship In the warmth of my family’s home, an authentic Oaxacan feast awaits. The table overflows with traditional dishes — each one carrying the flavors and stories of our heritage. As we gather to share food, laughter, and mezcal, bottles are uncorked and friendships are born in the joyful spirit of celebration. Here, cultures meet and connect, turning every toast into a living tribute to the magic of mezcal and the soul of Oaxaca.

San Pablo Villa de Mitla

Until We Meet Again As we make our way back to the meeting point, we carry with us memories that will forever flavor our hearts. The bonds we’ve formed, the flavors we’ve tasted, and the stories we’ve shared will continue to connect us long after the warmth of the mezcal fades. The drive from our meeting point to Mitla takes about 45 minutes, and the same for the return trip. Thank you for sharing the liquid culture of Mexico with us — until we meet again!
