Experience Details

Our experience is an educational tour to learn about the culture of mezcal and all the tradition that surrounds it.

We will begin our trip starting from the center of the city of Oaxaca and we will visit the towns of Mitla and Matatlán. There we will take a walking tour through our majestic agave fields with thousands of specimens, where we will be able to learn more about this plant, as well as having enough time to do a couple of activities and of course the best photographs.

Then we will continue to an artisan mezcal distillery to learn step by step, the entire artisan process of making our drink. At the end of the tour, we will have an unlimited tasting of different varieties of mezcal.

Finally, we will share a traditional Oaxacan meal at a local restaurant, already included, and of course, More Mezcal!
