Overview

Immerse yourself in the rich heritage of mezcal on this exclusive private tour. Travel to the artisan palenques of Matatlán, where mezcal is handcrafted using traditional methods passed down through generations. Explore the agave fields up close, uncovering the secrets behind this iconic Mexican spirit, and learn about the fascinating process that transforms agave into mezcal. For an extra cultural experience, we may also visit the renowned weaving village of Teotitlán del Valle, if time is available.

Experience mezcal in its most authentic form. On this tour, you’ll understand why mezcal is such a significant part of Oaxacan tradition, celebrated for its diversity of flavors. You might even discover your perfect mezcal, tailored to your personal palate.

For Oaxacans, mezcal is more than a drink—it’s deeply woven into their culture. Mezcal is present in life’s most meaningful moments, from the vibrant Day of the Dead celebrations to local town festivals and even healing rituals.
