In partnership with Mezcal Dainzu, guests are invited to delve into the rich history and scenic beauty of Santiago Matatlán, known as the Capital of Mezcal.

This journey brings traditions to life through the Santiago Hernández family, who have safeguarded the art of agave distillation for generations — since the mid-19th century — a time when mezcal was undervalued and nearly prohibited.

Doña Octavia and Don Leoncio — fifth and fourth generation mezcal masters — together with their son Carlos, extend a warm welcome to their agave fields, offering breathtaking views, to celebrate with nature and demonstrate the artisanal production process at their rustic distillery.

During the tasting, participants will uncover the diverse flavors that wild agaves provide. Additionally, there will be a selection of mezcales crafted especially for community festivities.

The experience concludes with a meal featuring moles and local dishes, prepared by Doña Reina, a celebrated local chef, at her charming restaurant situated in the town’s historic center.
