This experience was created by one of Oaxaca's original mezcal tour pioneers — a fluent English-speaking producer who built the model that others in the market have since followed. Your guide isn't just an enthusiast or a translator: he is an active distiller, a certified mezcal competency evaluator, and a contributor to specialized publications — someone who lives every stage of mezcal production, from the agave field to the final pour.

Wow, just wow! This experience was so fun, perfect amount of time. You can do it with other activities in your day. You get immersed in the culture, people, traditions, and beauty behind the mezcal. The tour guide is so friendly and informative. Most importantly, it is a ton of fun!
Really fun tour We were late for pick up , our fault. so bit rushed at the start. Be prepared for lots of mezcal drinking (& singing) on the tour to fields. Followed by informative tour of the distillation process / tasting. Would recommend. Just make sure you input the meeting point correctly in google maps !
Nice experience. Antonio was the guide cum driver and was very knowledgeable. We not only had conversation about Mescal but about Mexico in general as well
This was so informative and fun. We enjoyed hearing the history of the making of Mezcal followed by a tour in the barrel bus to the agave fields. We drank all sorts of spirits and then ended with a private Mezcal tasting in the cave! So much fun!!
With only two other people in the group, it was easy traveling to site. Marjorie was warm, friendly and answered all questions and shared her history. She was knowledgeable during the tasting and offered lots of help.
Tour was unbelievably fun and informative. Antonio could not have been nicer and it was incredibly interesting being taught by a real mezcal producer. If you’re coming to Oaxaca this is a can’t miss experience.
Very well put together. First you’ll walk through the making process, then they’ll take you to the field where the agaves grow, and then tasting. Everyone is very knowledgeable and kind.
Little bit of a drive from Oaxaca but good to get out of the city. We were a little older than the rest of the group we were with but Guide made sure we were included. Mezcal making process and mezcal and pulque tasting great! Barrel ride through the agave fields at dusk was amazing!
Great guide and best experience in Oaxaca. Unforgettable day learning about Mezcal and being part of the process. Very comfortable new car with AC. Delicious pit stop for top tier tacos in an authentic market.
Antonio’s vast knowledge in mezcal farming, distilling and cultural history is so exciting to hear and learn. He tailors a tour to what you want to learn about as well so it made it even more special. I learned the complexity and countless possibilities of mezcal flavor profiles that can be achieved from this tour. You will come out with even more appreciation for the art of making mezcal!!!
