Håndværksmæssig Mezcal-kulturtur til smagning og historie
Beskrivelse
I samarbejde med Mezcal Dainzu inviterer vi dig til at udforske historien og landskaberne i Santiago Matatlán, hovedstaden i Mezcal. På denne udflugt kommer traditioner til live gennem familien Santiago Hernández, som i generationer har bevaret agave destillation - siden midten af det 19. århundrede - da mezcal var undervurderet og næsten forbudt. Doña Octavia og Don Leoncio - femte og fjerde generation mescal mestere - sammen med deres søn Carlos, velkommen os til deres agave felter, med fantastisk udsigt, for at skåle med naturen og vise os den håndværksmæssige produktionsproces i deres rustikke destilleri. Under smagen vil du opdage det brede udvalg af smag, som vilde agaver har at tilbyde. Vi vil også dele nogle mezcales forberedt specielt til fællesskabsfester. Rejsen afsluttes med et måltid med moler og lokale retter, der er tilberedt af Doña Reina, en berømt lokal kok, på hendes hyggelige restaurant beliggende i byens historiske centrum.

Rejseplan
Gåtur gennem forskellige områder af Santiago Matatlán; en by kaldet "Mezcals verdenshovedstad", vil du begynde at opdage, hvordan destillationsprocesserne udvikler sig inde i fabrikken, hvordan agaverne vokser i marken og lære at skelne en type mezcal fra en anden. På den dag, du vil udvikle et indgående kendskab til mezcal, vil du blive forsynet med flere tilgange til det. Vi vil gå på agavemarken, for at være i perfekte rammer for et par præ-spanske myter, og til sidst fortsætter vi med at lave en Mezcal-toast med naturen. Vi tager til palenque, hvor du vil opleve mezcal-smagningen, hvor du vil kunne teste din nyudviklede viden. Bagefter går vi til fabrikkens terrasse, hvor du vil få serveret et traditionelt Oaxacan-måltid tilberedt på korn, og du kan nyde den smukke udsigt over dalen og agavemarkerne. Køreturen mellem byen og landsbyen tager 40 minutter hver vej.

Excellent experience! I booked it when I took two friends visiting me from China and England to Oaxaca, and they both left delightedly. I loved the way Vero and Don Leoncio (the master rocker) introduce you to the world of mezcal, as they not only show you the process of making the drink, but also explain the cultural importance of it. Vero is a very happy and friendly guide: from the beginning she makes you feel like she is your old friend, which makes the experience very enjoyable and fun. At the same time, it is evident the dedication and preparation he has put into creating this tour, as it is a very complete experience and was able to answer all the doubts that my friends and I had. We also loved the treatment of Don Leoncio, who welcomes you with a big smile and makes you feel very welcome in the palenque. Part of what fascinated us about this experience was precisely to see the production of mezcal from the perspective of a family business that keeps alive the region’s mezcal tradition. After the tour of the fields and the palenque de mezcal, Vero took us to eat at a restaurant in the town of Matatlan, where they make a pink mole that, without a doubt, was the best meal we made during our trip to Oaxaca (one of my friends even said it was the best meal of his entire stay in Mexico). If you want an authentic experience, away from mass tourism and that really gets you into the world of mezcal, then you have to book this one!
We highly recommend this special tour! Verónica was a spectacular and knowledgeable guide and also a delightful person to spend the afternoon with. We were particularly impressed by the obviously authentic relationship she has built and nurtured with the family/owners of the farm and factory we visited. We could not believe we got to taste mezcal in the field with the Don himself!! From the history, to cutting agave in the field with the Don, to the factory tour and tasting, to the delicious meal in a local restaurant following the tour, it was an excellent experience. We recommend this tour to anyone looking for an authentic and unique mezcal experience!
This was an absolutely fun and amazing adventure. Vero organized everything from beginning to end. We drove out to a family-run mezcaleria, walked through the fields of agave, tried our hand at cutting leaves off with a machete (not as easy as it may look) and learned about the process of distilling mezcal. Just being out in the field was an adventure - we're used to agaves in small clay pots, not to these towering giants. It was a truly fun and educational experience and it was also important for us to see a small producer who uses traditional methods and respects nature. At the end, Vero took us for lunch - we sat above agave fields and truly enjoyed the food. In fact... we cancelled our dinner reservation in Oaxaca.
