Oaxaca Countryside: Agave Fields & Mezcal

Overview

Hi, I’m Alvaro, and together we’ll embark on a journey to the heart of Oaxaca. Our first stop is Teotitlán del Valle, where we’ll visit an artisan cooperative dedicated to preserving the ancestral techniques of wool dyeing and weaving. From there, we’ll head to my picturesque hometown of Mitla—surrounded by beautiful mountains and agave fields. Driven by a desire to share my culture and traditions with you, I’ll guide you through these majestic agave landscapes so you can learn more about the plants and discover why mezcal comes in such a wide variety of flavors. There will be plenty of laughter and photo opportunities along the way. Afterward, we’ll visit our family distillery to see the production process step-by-step and witness the passion that goes into making it. We’ll wrap things up by tasting various types of mezcal accompanied by a delicious, authentic Oaxacan meal. Throughout the tour, I’ll be fully attentive to your needs; my goal is to make you feel right at home and ensure your mezcal journey becomes an unforgettable memory.
