Hello, my name is Alvaro and we’re about to embark on an exciting journey into the world of mezcal. Our adventure commences at a rendezvous point, proceeding to the charming town of Mitla, which nestles amidst stunning mountains and agave landscapes. For my kin and me, mezcal signifies much more than a beverage; it’s a crucial element of our heritage. I’m enthusiastic about sharing our rich culture and traditional practices with you. Together, we will traverse through scenic agave fields to deepen our understanding of mezcal’s diverse flavors. Amidst constant laughter and numerous photo opportunities, we will then head to my family’s distillery to gain in-depth knowledge about the meticulous crafting process and the profound passion that goes into it. The expedition culminates with a tasting of distinct mezcal variants, complemented by scrumptious and authentic Oaxacan cuisine at my family’s abode.

Magical Mezcal tour! - This was an amazing day with Alvaro and his cousin - his knowledge of the Mezcal process and its history was fascinating. He was also super friendly. One of the amazing aspects of the tour is they adapt it to local happenings and the guests. We visited a small family distillery and a larger one. We were able to participate in part of the process at both. We tasted many types of Mezcal and we now know the differences! We shared a delicious meal, toured an agave field via ATV, and saw Mitla Puebla Magico… it was a perfect day with the perfect hosts! I will recommend this to all my friends traveling to Oaxaca.
