Oaxaca Countryside: Textiles, Agave Fields, Mezcal & Local Food

Hola! I’m Alvaro, and together we’ll embark on an unforgettable journey into the heart of mezcal. Our adventure begins as we head to my picturesque hometown of Mitla, surrounded by beautiful mountains and endless agave fields. For my family and me, mezcal is more than just a drink — it’s part of our identity, our culture, and our way of life. Driven by my passion to share our Zapotec traditions, we’ll walk through the agave fields, learning how each variety contributes to the unique flavors and aromas of mezcal. Along the way, you’ll enjoy breathtaking landscapes, capture incredible photos, and share plenty of laughs. Next, we’ll visit my family’s artisanal distillery, where I’ll guide you through every step of the traditional production process — from roasting the agave in an underground stone oven to the final distillation. You’ll feel the dedication and love that goes into every drop. We’ll finish our experience with a tasting of different mezcal varieties, paired with a delicious, authentic Oaxacan meal prepared with local ingredients. Throughout the tour, I’ll be by your side, making sure you feel at home. My goal is to make your journey into the world of mezcal not just a tour — but a memory you’ll cherish forever.

Great tour.

This experience was amazing to he whole tour was great we got to experience so many things throughout the day. I will say I didn’t enjoy the buffet they have but there are other food stalls at stops before that are great. Although I didn’t like it my parents did enjoy it so I think it’s just my personal preference.

Excellent tour!

Clay drove us directly to the waterfall site. Beautiful mountains all around. The two hours he allowed there were just right amount of time to take the hike to the foot of the fall and take a dip in the pool. Then lunch at a small place close to the Falls was excellent. The weaving demo was fascinating on how they made the dyes and spun the wall and woven the rugs. On the way back, he stopped at the Tule tree on our request since we were the only two on the tour. Excellent tour.
