During this full-day experience you will journey through the valley of Oaxaca to 3 pueblos, which make premium Mezcal at simple yet authentic distilleries.
Far from the tourist track, the mezcalerias in San Dionisio Ocotopec, San Baltazar Chichicapam and Santa Catarina Minas produce quality mezcal using varied distillation methods. Visiting the producers in each town, you will learn how donkey-power is still used in the fermentation process and learn about the differences between distillation using the traditional copper still and the pre-Columbian clay still. Upon tasting a variety of mezcal, you will appreciate the wide-ranging and distinct tastes of the spirit that can depend so much on the agave used and how it is distilled.
Lunch will be included en-route. Your guide can offer a number of authentic and clean restaurant options along the route and you will be able to stop to eat as and when you feel hungry.
