Mezcal adventure - Other than the ride from Oaxaca to Mitla (the car was a tight fit for 5 guests) it was a great trip. Fun, entertaining and very informative, followed by an amazing lunch. The work that goes into each bottle of Mezcal is insane!

A 10/10 experience! - This was truly a 10/10 experience! Alberto and Gustavo picked us up at the meeting spot and immediately made us feel welcome and comfortable. Once we arrived, Alvaro gave us a tour of his family’s palenque From the agave fields, to explaining the cultivation process and walking us through the distillation step by step. We had the opportunity to sample 10+ different mezcales, including some very special ones they produce at the palenque. The experience concluded with a lovely lunch, which was the perfect way to end such an incredible day. From start to finish, everything was thoughtfully organized and genuinely special. We learned so much and had an amazing time. The small group size was a huge plus, as it allowed for more personal interaction and plenty of time to ask questions. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting the area. Thank you again to the wonderful team! Elena and Andy

The story, the sites and the sipping! All spectacular! - This trip was so fun and informative. We walked the land and saw the many varieties of agave, with a chance to machete the leaves! We tasted the different mezcals highlighting the different notes; almost like a wine tasting. We saw how the agave was processed and made and had a delicious lunch. I highly recommend this trip and Alvaro was wonderful.

The best Farm to Bottle experience - I do enjoy a good mezcal and this tour helped me to better appreciate the process of making a truly good mezcal. I wanted to experience all of the steps of going from farm to bottle and I was not disappointed. Our guide was a third generation family member and his presentation clearly demonstrated his knowledge, passion, and pride in the product and the industry. The tasting session brought the whole experience to a wonderful end (at the distillery) followed by a delicious lunch off-site. I highly recommend this tour if you are looking for a similar experience.

Super interesting and entertaining mezcal tour - Fantastic mezcal tour! From cultivation in the field, with the different types of agave, through the production process, to the final product in the bottle. Alvaro explained the individual steps in a vivid and entertaining way.

A must do in Oaxaca - So cool to see the process from the maguey fields, to fermentation, to the bottle. We tasted 10+ mezcals and had a delicious lunch. Our guide was fun, knowledgeable, and passionate about his family distillery.
