    About this experience

    This is an immersive tour that provides knowledge about the history, tradition, science and culture of agave and mezcal production. All facilities and mezcals are designed and made in the artisanal tradition and are of the highest quality. Depending on the season and availability/production schedules of our various collaborators, experiences may be slightly different from tour to tour, but will always maximize what the region has to offer given the time of year.

    What you'll see and do

    1. Santiago Matatlan

      Our day in Matatlan generally begins with a visit to a local pulqueria for a tasting of pulque, a prehispanic fermented agave beverage. We will visit an Espadin field to learn about the cultivation of Mezcal's most common plant before a short and easy walk to search for and learn about wild varietals of Agave. We will discuss age, maturity, reproduction, scarcity, harvest and answer questions. Then it's short drive to the Palenque (distillery) where we will explain and hopefully get to observe part of the mezcal production process and sample some Casa Cortes products including Nuesta Soledad, El Jolgorio and Agave De Cortes. Note: There are 3 different palenques we might visit during this trip depending on the production schedules at each one. The goal is to allow the clients to see as much of the process in action as possible, but production doesn't happen everywhere everyday, so there is no guarantee that there will be production in process on every tour.

    Mezcal Distillery Day Trip: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Oaxaca City.

    How much does Mezcal Distillery Day Trip cost?

    +

    Prices start at $1500 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Oaxaca City usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Mezcal Distillery Day Trip take?

    +

    Plan for about 6 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Oaxaca City is not rushed.

    Is Mezcal Distillery Day Trip worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 45 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (0/5 across 0 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Oaxaca City, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Mezcal Distillery Day Trip?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Mezcal Distillery Day Trip suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 6-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Mezcal Distillery Day Trip?

    +

    Around 0 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Oaxaca City can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Oaxaca City and add a light layer if any part of the 6-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Mezcal Distillery Day Trip start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Oaxaca City within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Oaxaca City?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Oaxaca City experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include AUTHENTIC OAXACA CULTURAL FOOD TOUR, eat like a local., Hierve el Agua 2.5 hours, Mitla, Tule, Rugs and Mezcal for a Day, Traditional Oaxaqueña Cooking with Grandma's Recipes. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Oaxaca City?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Oaxaca City?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
