  Next, we visit a family mezcal producer who preserves traditional, non touristic methods. Learn how agave is transformed through earth, fire, and patience into Oaxaca’s most iconic spirit. Taste different varieties of top quality mezcal, far from tourist crowds, and connect with the cultural legacy behind every sip. The experience culminates in a guided tasting session. Seated in a welcoming family courtyard, you’ll sample different varieties—young mezcal, aged mezcal, and special blends—each with unique aromas and flavors. The producer teaches you how to taste mezcal properly: to sip slowly, let the flavors unfold, and appreciate the cultural legacy behind every drop. This is more than a tasting—it is an intimate encounter with Oaxaca’s soul, where mezcal is not just a drink but a living tradition passed down through generations.
