メスカルの旅

Wow! This was such a beautiful experience. From the moment we met our guide, Alfredo, until we said goodbye--after tasting countless mezcals, meeting some amazing humans from around the world, and enjoying a delicious, traditional meal--we felt so cared for. Alfredo and The Mezcal Journey have created a very intentional adventure for mezcal enthusiasts who want something more than a check-the-box tourist experience. Our guide's family has been making mezcal for more than 100 years and that experience showed up throughout our learning journey. If you're visiting Oaxaca and want to better understand the history and process of this ancient spirit, look no further.

Ivan was the best guide ever! Very knowledgeable and likeable. Great immersion tour. Small, fun group. Learned a lot about Mezcal.

Ivan was a wonderful and knowledgeable guide. It was an educational and fun event. The lunch was lovely as well.

Let’s just say the tour exceeded our expectations Ivan was a great tour guide Kind, knowledgeable , and really facilitated interaction We liked it was intimate, just the 4 of us We were able to see 2 very different complexes and their distilling process, which was fascinating A very artisanal approach versus commercial production The meal we were served was delicious and bountiful and we must have tasted 20 or more mezcals Absolutely no pressure to buy too! Thanks Ivan fir the memories!

Leyda was an excellent guide who was very knowledgeable and passionate about Mezcal and what it means to Oaxaca. My wife and I left with a deeper appreciation for the amount of effort it takes to produce them and how skilled mezcaleros are. The food, mezcales, tour, and general views were incredible. Would strongly recommend this experience - or following Leyda when she opens her own tour and experiences!

Our experience with Mezcal Journey was truly unforgettable and one of the highlights of our time in Oaxaca. This is so much more than a tasting—it’s a deep dive into the culture, traditions, and craftsmanship behind mezcal. Our guide was incredibly knowledgeable, sharing not only the production process but also the history and meaning behind every step, which gave us a whole new appreciation for what we were tasting. A big highlight was the emphasis on respect for Mother Earth. From the sustainable harvesting of agave to the traditional production methods, there was a clear focus on honoring the land and preserving these practices for future generations. It added a meaningful layer to the experience that really stayed with us. If you’re looking for a genuine, immersive way to understand mezcal and Oaxacan culture, Mezcal Journey is absolutely worth it.

Excellent way to spend a full day in Oaxacan countryside. Really fun, educational, and delicious. Guide and driver were wonderful. I highly recommend this tour.

Great look into the production, culture and flavours of Mezcal. Leyda was an exceptional tour guide with lots of knowledge and delivered everything in an easy to understand manner. Selection of palettes each with unique propositions and experiences.

Such an experience tasting, seeing and learning about Mezcal! Throughly enjoyed the tour, the tastings and the lunch at the end was great too’

The mezcal journey was a fantastic experience. We learned a lot, ate a delicious meal, and tried MANY mezcals!
