The day starts with an hour’s drive to Matatlán, World Capital of Mezcal. We’ll then tour Gracias a Dios´ beautiful palenque, learning about the process of making mezcal, see the agave fields, starter crops and some very trendy adobe bricks made with leftover organic matter from the mezcal making process. You will then enjoy a tasting of the Mezcals and Gins made here and have the opportunity to purchase products at palenque-direct pricing.

Bring sun protection, a water bottle, cash for tacos (small bills appreciated) and your curiosity.

Note the later than usual departure time: 10:30 am

Additional cost:  200 pesos for tour and tasting of 5 mezcals and 2 agave gins. Cash and credit cards accepted.

After the tasting, we will head to Chencho's for Tacos. Cheap and delicious - cash only please. And this being Matatlán, we will get to try Chenco's Mezcal, too.
