• San Luis Potosi - We will depart from San Luis Potosi at 10:00 am, making our initial visit to the maguey fields of Derramaderos, a locality on the outskirts of the capital. Here, we’ll meet David and his mother Eufemia, who will guide us in harvesting agave nectar and show us the process of making pulque, an ancient beverage.
• Derramaderos - Next, we’ll reboard our transport and proceed on the Potosi mezcal trail, heading into the highlands to the site of the state’s earliest Spanish settlement, San Miguel de Mexquitic. In this village, Angel, Daniel, Manuel, Maria de la Luz, and their kin will welcome us to their vinata, or mezcal courtyard. As we explore, we’ll learn about the mezcal production methods, including the use of the campanilla, a TRADITIONAL distillation technique involving earthenware pots that imparts a unique taste to the spirit, unlike anything you’ve sampled before.
• Mexquitic de Carmona - We will be instructed in the art of savoring mezcal with a method that enhances the experience through our senses. Dismiss any prior knowledge from those raucous spring break evenings; this liquor demands a refined form of appreciation.
