Mezcal Educational Excursions of Oaxaca

Mezcal Educational Excursions of Oaxaca MEZCAL EDUCATIONAL EXCURSIONS OF OAXACA, ranging from one to several days, taking you into the hills

We take you to where others don't, that is into the Oaxacan hinterland, and perhaps into the fields, to speak with, photograph, sample and learn from family members who make artisanal mezcal, using clay pot distillation, traditional copper stills, and a hybrid between hand-crafted and industrial (if that interests you). The object is to teach and show you as many stages of production as practicabl

e, to sample at least a dozen different mezcals, as well as pulque. If photography or making a documentary is your passion, or you are interested in beginning a mezcal import business, let us know and we'll accommodate you in this respect as well. We can arrange to take you out into the fields with a Zapotec family to participate in the harvesting of aguamiel used to ferment into pulque. Email for further details including price, our qualifications and verbatim testimonials from clients who have participated in our mezcal educational excursions.

Yesterday's group had a truly unique experience while out on a mezcal tour with Alvin.

We usually are able to provide the option for groups of four or more mezcal aficionados, an opportunity to have a brunch prepared by one of the distiller's mothers, at the palenque, a complete meal of fresh Oaxacan fare, or course including hand-made tortillas. This mealtime experience can take place either before or after the ancestral mezcal tasting at the palenque.

Yesterday's #2 photo of the day: In San Baltazar Chichicapam, god-daughter Estela Hernández in the process of making her first batch of conos de lechecilla (puff pastry cones filled with vanilla pudding); when sales of mezcal drop to a trickle, one must seek other ways of paying for necessary expenses, and so Estela is thinking outside of the box.
