Mezcal Distillery Day Trip

Highlights

Leistungen

Ablauf

1. Our day in Matatlan generally begins with a visit to a local pulqueria for a tasting of pulque, a prehispanic fermented agave beverage. We will visit an Espadin field to learn about the cultivation of Mezcal's most common plant before a short and easy walk to search for and learn about wild varietals of Agave. We will discuss age, maturity, reproduction, scarcity, harvest and answer questions. Then it's short drive to the Palenque (distillery) where we will explain and hopefully get to observe part of the mezcal production process and sample some Casa Cortes products including Nuesta Soledad, El Jolgorio and Agave De Cortes. Note: There are 3 different palenques we might visit during this trip depending on the production schedules at each one. The goal is to allow the clients to see as much of the process in action as possible, but production doesn't happen everywhere everyday, so there is no guarantee that there will be production in process on every tour.

About Oaxaca City

Oaxaca City is the colonial capital of Oaxaca state, a stone-built highland city of markets, mole, mezcal and Zapotec ruins nearby.

Oaxaca de Juárez sits in a high valley at about 1,500 metres, its centre built of pale green stone around a shaded zócalo. The baroque church of Santo Domingo, with its gilded interior, and the attached former convent, now a cultural museum, are the grandest sights. Streets run with market stalls, painted walls and courtyard cafés, and the historic centre is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
