Mezcal Ancestral Degustacion @ Matria
Next, we visit a family mezcal producer who preserves traditional, non touristic methods. Learn how agave is transformed through earth, fire, and patience into Oaxaca’s most iconic spirit. Taste different varieties of top quality mezcal, far from tourist crowds, and connect with the cultural legacy behind every sip.
The experience culminates in a guided tasting session. Seated in a welcoming family courtyard, you’ll sample different varieties—young mezcal, aged mezcal, and special blends—each with unique aromas and flavors. The producer teaches you how to taste mezcal properly: to sip slowly, let the flavors unfold, and appreciate the cultural legacy behind every drop.
This is more than a tasting—it is an intimate encounter with Oaxaca’s soul, where mezcal is not just a drink but a living tradition passed down through generations.

Teotitlan del Valle
Finally, we arrive at Teotitlán del Valle, renowned for its Zapotec textiles. In a family workshop, you’ll see how wool is spun, dyed with natural colors like cochineal and indigo, and woven into rugs filled with ancestral symbols. Each piece is a living testimony of Oaxaca’s identity, and you’ll have the chance to acquire authentic textiles directly from the artisans.

At the end of the tour, we bring you back safely to your hotel or accommodation, completing the experience with the same care and professionalism.
