Overview

This tour offers a complete experience in the world capital of mezcal. In addition to air-conditioned transport from Oaxaca, travellers explore Matatlán in a mobile barrel, a local vehicle that allows them to visit agave fields and a traditional pulquería (pulque bar). During the tour, a local host explains the pulque and mezcal production process in clear and accessible English. Two family-run palenques (distilleries) are visited, with guided tastings and a mezcal cocktail—no purchases required. The tour includes pickup, organised logistics, and a safe approach to enjoying mezcal without having to drive.
