Hola! Somos Lily & Ricardo! Una familia oaxaqueña que cultiva agave y desde hace 5 años, también producimos nuestra propia marca de Mezcal. Nuestra aventura comienza en el centro de la ciudad de Oaxaca con rumbo a Matatlán, pueblo mejor conocido como: "La capital mundial del mezcal" al ser el mayor productor de esta bebida en todo México. Ahí visitamos una destilería artesanal para ver de cerca la producción tradicional del mezcal. Nuestro objetivo es aprender todo el proceso paso a paso y valorar todo el esfuerzo qué hay detrás de esta bebida. En nuestro recorrido tendremos la oportunidad de ver áreas privadas, que normalmente están restringidas, como una cava de reposo y añejamiento; o incluso áreas de envasado en donde podrás participar y ser parte importante del proceso. Después de aprender cómo se elabora el mezcal, realizamos la degustación, la cual es ilimitada! Ya que podrás probar tanto como desees! Además, platicaremos sobre las diferentes categorías, clases y variedades que existen. Continuamos nuestro viaje a los increíbles campos de agave, en donde podrás capturar las mejores fotos e incluso realizar actividades como plantación, corte o cosecha según la temporada. Para finalizar ofrecemos una rica y tradicional comida oaxaqueña elaborada por nuestra familia! + Sí la fecha que buscas no está disponible, por favor envíanos un mensaje! Ig: @themezcaljourney
