Description
Discover the culture of mezcal with local experts, and meet authentic artisanal producers at different scales, techniques, and styles. Taste a great selection of agave spirits in the capital of mezcal.
During this experience, you'll be taken through the Valley of Tlacolula to Santiago Matalan. During the ride, you'll be introduced to the culture of mezcal and its geographical context. Once in Santiago Matatlán, you'll be visiting an agave plantation to learn about these plants, their life cycle, varieties, and uses.
Then, visit two different mezcal distilleries to see real production going on. From a home scale family-owned business with a long tradition of making mezcal in a rustic way to another way of production more sophisticated, yet artisanal.
As each maestro mezcalero gives a personal touch to every batch, each tasting on-site means immersion in the mezcal culture.
Afterward, you'll make a stop for lunch in a nice and neat last distillery with a great local cuisine restaurant. By this point of the trip, you'll already know how to taste mezcal as an expert. The premium quality mezcal you’ll taste here will be great for a last toast before heading back home.
