What an interesting tour, where we actually learned about the handcrafting of Mezcal from a guide that is very passionate about the topic. The tastings were generous and everyone found a spirit that "spoke" to them. A fun afternoon for sure.

Marianna’s passion for the spirit, the history and the family truly shine through. We left both educated and entertained and highly recommend to anyone travelling to Puerto Escondido. Bring plenty of cash to tip (15%+ MX of trip cost minimum) as we couldnt get the venmo QR code to connect and felt bad not leaving more.

Great experience to taste lots of different mescals and learn about the process. Our guide was so knowledgeable and passionate about this distillery. We really enjoyed this tour.

I was definitely overcharged 0n mezcal purchase 2-250ml bottles,1-750ml mezcal cream and 3 coffee mugs for 2,900 pesos I was rushed and didn't pay enough attention to what I was being charged. So beware

Marianna and her colleague Tamara went above and beyond to ensure we had a perfect experience at the distillery. We had access to way more mescal than we could possibly consume, and they provided tasty complimentary snacks. The family participated in the tour of the distillery, answering our questions patiently and with lots ofdetail. Marianna sent a taxi to pick us up and drop us off. It is important to note the distillery does not have agave fields on site, which was a little disappointing but the rest of the experience was stellar!

This was a great and informative your. Such a personal look into the family connection and pride of the generations making mezcal. Adele was wonderful translating sharing so much information. The mezcal was delicious! I cannot recommend this experience more.

We had so much fun learning about mezcal with Antoine! He was the most amazing guide and would definitely recommend. There was a good mix of education and drinking and Antoine added so much to the experience with his knowledge. We were picked up outside of town at our Airbnb and communication was so easy to coordinate pick up and drop off times. Overall such an amazing experience! Try the worms!
