★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Spent the afternoon touring the farm and learned how the best mezcal has been traditionally made for 2,500 years. Lalo is so passionate of his products and it shows. His varieties of mezcal are all phenomenal and I came home with several bottles!

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Great to visit the Palenque and learn more about the clay pot distillation process, super welcoming team. Would recommend the degustation which is a really great way to discover the wide variety of their production. Super to also learn about their approach to agave farming and how they embrace regenerative practices.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Amazing destilados by an amazing maestro -- one of the best day trips you could possibly take out of Oaxaca City if you're even the least bit interested in mezcal. Lalo will make you passionate about agave.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ A working mezcaleria that also gives tours. Just drive up and park and ask someone for a tour, the mezcaleria maestro will give tours and a tasting for a very small fee. He showed us the various types of agaves they had on the property, then how they bake them, ferment them, and distill them, accompanied by samples of cooked agave, fermented agave, and once and twice distilled agave. The plants, oven, fermentation vats and distillers are all right next to each other and also all shaded. After samples of seven or so mezcals we ordered a bottle and he filled it up and labelled it for us on the spot.
This is a working mezcaleria, and the maestro seems passionate about handmaking everything as traditionally as possible, even handmaking much of the distillers and the oven.
The mezcal was good too. Overall, a great tour.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Great experience. Super informative tour. We saw the manguey nursery, where they start the process, then off to walking around the property showing us the different types of agave and finishing with showing the whole process of making mezcal and answering all de questions we had. And to wrap it up, the tasting! All very interesting options and you end up tasting about 15 different mezclas! Our kids were entertained during the tasting with the farm animals. They have goats, sheep, cows, dogs!

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Sustainable mezcal farm that uses circular farming. Started by “Lalo,” the pioneer in separating and studying multiple mezcal varieties. Uses ancient process (pre-Hispanic) for making mezcal. Uses hammers instead of animals to make mezcal. Mezcal tasting includes 14 different types that put quality over quantity.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Amazing learning experience and mezcal tasting. Exceeded it expectations. We were shown and told everything one could discover about ancestral mezcal making. Ancestral methods means there is no use of machinery.
We got 2h in depth excursión about maguey (18 types) in the land from the main farmer of the place Isaak.
It followed by a demostraron of each step of the process once maguey has matured and piña has been cut.
Afterwards we had a tasting of 13 mezcals!!!
We couldn't wish for more amazing discovery.
The tour cost us 300 pesos per person.
In the end we as well bought their incredible Tepeztate mezcal.
Tip. We took a taxi to come there, asked taxi men to wait for us and bring back. It costed us 1000 pesos and was essential for we finished at 7pm and there was no hope to get taxi in that small village.
Highly recommend to choose this trip instead of commercial paleques of Matatlan.
