Artisanal Mezcal Culture Tour for Tasting and History Discount Tickets

Overview

In collaboration with Mezcal Dainzu, we invite you to explore the history and landscapes of Santiago Matatlán, the Capital of Mezcal. On this excursion, traditions come to life through the Santiago Hernández family, who for generations have preserved the craft of agave distillation —since the mid-19th century—, when mezcal was undervalued and nearly forbidden. Doña Octavia and Don Leoncio —fifth and fourth generation mezcal masters— along with their son Carlos, welcome us to their agave fields, with stunning views, to toast with nature and show us the artisanal production process in their rustic distillery. During the tasting, you'll discover the wide range of flavors that wild agaves have to offer. We'll also share some mezcales prepared especially for community celebrations. The journey ends with a meal of moles and local dishes, prepared by Doña Reina, a renowned local cook, at her cozy restaurant located in the town’s historic center.
