テイスティングと歴史を学ぶ職人のメスカル文化ツアー

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.
