Oaxacas landskab: Agavemarker og Mezcal
Beskrivelse
Hej, jeg hedder Alvaro, og sammen begynder vi denne rejse til hjertet af Oaxaca. Vores første stop bliver i Teotitlán del Valle, hvor vi besøger et kooperativ af kunsthåndværkere, der holder de forfædres teknikker til farvning og vævning af uld i live. Derefter tager vi til min maleriske by Mitla, omgivet af smukke bjerge og agavemarker. Ivrige efter at dele min kultur og mine traditioner med jer, udforsker vi de majestætiske agavemarker for at lære mere om dem og opdage, hvorfor mezcal har så forskellige smagsoplevelser. Der vil være masser af billeder og latter! Bagefter besøger vi et familiedestilleri for at lære om produktionsprocessen trin for trin og den passion, den er lavet med. Vi afslutter med at smage forskellige varianter af mezcal kombineret med lækker og autentisk mad fra Oaxaca. Gennem hele turen vil jeg være opmærksom på dine behov; mit mål er, at du føler dig hjemme og gør din mezcal-rejse til et uforglemmeligt minde.

Rejseplan
Når vi alle er samlet, starter vi med en kort forklaring om den kommende dag og skåler for en god Mezcal for at begynde vores rejse til Teotitlán del Valle.
Vi begynder vores rejse gennem bjergrige landskaber, indtil vi når Santa María Teotitlán del Valle, en traditionel kunsthåndværkerby, hvor vi besøger et uldfarvnings- og væveværksted for at lære om den forfædre Zapotec-farvningsteknik på første hånd.
Rejse gennem agavemarkerne: Når vi ankommer til landsbyen, begynder vi vores tur med en vandring gennem agavemarkerne, hvor de robuste planter står som vogtere af den oaxacanske kulturarv. I et landskab omgivet af bjerge, kaktus og agaver vil vi fordybe os i dens historie og forstå dens forvandling fra jordens omfavnelse til den nektar, der pryder din kop. Fotos er et must.
Afsløre traditioner: Vores rejse fortsætter lige uden for døren til vores familieejede mezcal-destilleri. Luften er tyk af den søde aroma af agave, et løfte om de skatte, der venter. Guidet af mig og hånd i hånd med mesteren mezcalero, vil du blive transporteret tilbage i tiden for at være vidne til den ældgamle proces, der forvandler de ydmyge agavehjerter til det flydende guld kendt som mezcal. Klimakset på vores tur kommer, når vi smager vores samling af mezcals, hver med sin unikke karakter og historie. Mens du hæver dit glas, danser den fløjlsbløde væske på din tunge og afslører smag, der spænder fra jordisk til æterisk. Guidet af mig vil du udforske nuancerne i hver slurk, en rejse, der vækker sanserne og antænder en dybere forståelse af denne bemærkelsesværdige eliksir.
Tager et stykke Oaxaca med hjem. Når dagen nærmer sig enden, får du chancen for at tage et stykke Oaxacan-magi med dig. Vælg fra vores udvalgte udvalg af mezcals, omhyggeligt udformet til at fange essensen af regionen. Hver flaske indeholder en del af den historie, du har vævet i løbet af dagen: en historie om tradition, håndværk og forbindelsen mellem jord og drikoffer.
Oaxacan-fest og broderskab: På min families krisecenter inviterer en autentisk Oaxacan fest. Bordet er fyldt med kulinariske vidundere, hver ret bærer tradition. Mens vi samles, flyder latteren og historierne som mezcal. Flasker fjernes, og venskaber knyttes i åndernes varme omfavnelse. Sameksistensen af kulturer bliver et levende vidnesbyrd om mezcals magi.
Indtil vi mødes igen: Når vi vender tilbage til vores mødested, bærer vi minder, som vil krydre vores hjerter for evigt. De bånd, der blev dannet, smagene nydes, og de delte historier vil fortsætte med at forbinde os, længe efter at varmen fra mezcalen er forsvundet. Rejsen fra vores mødested til Mitla er 45 minutter, det samme for retur til vores mødested. Tak fordi du deler den flydende kultur i Mexico sammen!

Leida was knowledgeable about family owned Mezcal making from start to the end. Took us to a Great lunch spot. Went out the way to drop me at my stay. I would highly recommend her and this tour to those interested in Mezcal
The description of this experience sounded so amazing: a very personalized tour with a mezcal maestro, a fabulous traditional family lunch with an intimate setting. But unfortunately this was not the case. Although the guide Leyda was extremely professional and knowledgeable and the trip to the agave fields was informative and fun, the food experience was not at all good. We were taken to a roadside eatery and given one dish (with a lot of meat, when I had told them I was vegetarian! They rectified this by giving me a dish of veg and taking away the cheese!), very loud music and no atmosphere. I wrote to Alvaro and explained my disappointment and he was very communicative and apologized, but for us this was a once in a lifetime experience and I’m afraid I can’t recommend it based on the price and compared with other tours. It did not meet my expectations.
Thank you, Elizabeth & Toni, for taking the time to share your feedback. We're glad to hear that you enjoyed Leyda's guidance throughout the experience. We sincerely regret that some aspects of the tour did not fully meet your expectations. The presence of our mezcal master can occasionally be affected by the realities of small-batch artisanal production, especially during the rainy season. Regarding the meal, we do offer vegetarian and vegan options whenever dietary preferences are communicated before the tour, which is why we contact guests in advance whenever possible. We truly appreciate your comments, as they help us improve both our communication and the overall guest experience. Thank you for visiting Oaxaca and for giving us the opportunity to share our mezcal traditions with you.
Great experience when you are in Oaxaca. Our guide is very informative and speaks english fluently. Thank you!
Experience was amazing. Our guide Leyda especially made the day, she was incredible! Loved walking through the agave fields, and then seeing the whole process of how the Mezcal is made from start to finish. Tasting was great and the lunch they took us to was truly delicious- would absolutely do this again!
We had an amazing afternoon on the Mezcal and countryside tour. The first stop to the textile factory was very informative and interactive. Alvaro was a great guide with tons of knowledge about Mezcal and Oaxaca. We toured the beautiful agave fields, practiced using a machete, and learned the entire Mezcal production process from the field to the bottle. The Mezcal tasting was fun and informative, and the Mezcal all tasted great! Finally we shared a traditional Oaxacan lunch at a beautiful restaurant. Highly recommend this tour for a wonderful experience, and thank you so much Alvaro!
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. It’s always special for us to see how mezcal connects people and creates lasting memories. We’re glad you were part of that.
Exc experience w Leida & Alvaro - so knowledgeable. Lots of Mezcal, fabulous lunch, really enjoyed learning about the rug/textiles. Would give them 6/5stars.
Thank you for joining us and for your thoughtful words. Every visit reminds us how meaningful it is to connect with people from around the world through mezcal and tradition.
Highly recommended. Very attentive Alvaro, knows very well of the process of mezcal. If I'd do the tour again.
Muchas gracias por tomarte el tiempo de comentar tu experiencia con nosotros, valoramos mucho tu opinión, cuando gustes volver! Salud hasta el siguiente mezcal en vernos
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!
We’re very thankful for your review and your support. Sharing our culture and our way of life is something we’re proud of, and it’s always special when it resonates with our guests.
Very informative and enjoyable. Pick-up point was a little confusing, but Alvon’s generosity sincere desire to provide a n exceptional experience overcame any difficulty. Lots to taste! Excellent lunch!
It was a pleasure having you with us. Thank you for your trust and for taking the time to share your experience.
Oh man what a treat. Alvaro was so kind, passionate and had a great sense of humor. He truly cares about making your experience the best it can possibly be. He cares so deeply about his craft and wants to let you in on it. This was THE highlight of our trip. If you see this tour available book it, book it, book it!
Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your kind words. It was truly a pleasure sharing our mezcal tradition with you. We’re grateful you were part of our story.
