Discover the heart of mezcal country in Oaxaca with this immersive, off-the-beaten-path mezcal experience. Journey beyond the city to a family-run artisanal mezcal distillery, where you’ll follow the full mezcal-making process—from agave to bottle—in the most authentic way possible.

Led by local mezcaleros, this day-long experience takes place in the lush countryside, about 50 minutes from Oaxaca City. Start your day with a traditional rural breakfast, then head into the fields where wild and cultivated agave varieties grow. Depending on the season and nature’s rhythm, you might hike through the fields, ride in the back of a pick-up truck, or even stumble across ancient artifacts that speak to the region’s rich heritage.

At the distillery, you’ll engage with a local distilling family who will guide you through every step of the ancestral mezcal production process, from harvesting agave to cooking, fermenting, distilling, and tasting the final product. This is not a touristy mezcal tasting—it’s an authentic Oaxacan mezcal immersion grounded in tradition, family, and storytelling.The experience culminates in a home-cooked organic lunch made with seasonal ingredients, followed by a guided mezcal tasting. You’ll leave with a deeper appreciation for mezcal, a full stomach, and maybe even a bottle (or two) to take home—directly from the source.
