Description

Good to Know

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!

Awesome Mezcal Experience

Tour guide Alfredo was super awesome and very experienced and knowledgeable about the entire Mezcal process. We got a sizeable lunch and had an unlimited amount of Mezcal tasting. Would definitely recommend if you are in Oaxaca

This was one of the best...

This was one of the best tours we have ever been on. Alfredo was extremely knowledgeable and fun to be with. We learned and experienced so much. There were opportunities to participate and the mescal was delicious. My husband, Sister and I had a fabulous time and made lasting memories.

Great Mezcal tour

Our mezcal journey with Alfredo was one of the highlights of our time in Oaxaca. The meeting point in downtown Oaxaca was very convenient, and we traveled in a comfortable van with a fun group of just eight people. Our first stop was an agave field about 35 minutes outside the city. Alfredo explained the different varieties of maguey, the mezcals produced from them, and the distinctions between industrial, artisanal, and ancestral mezcal. We also had time to wander through the beautiful fields ...read more
