Description
Discover the internationally award-winning mezcal at the only eco-sustainable factory in Oaxaca, with an exclusive stop at the agave plantation on the Monte Albán hill.
This isn't a typical visit to a palenque. Capotlán is the only mezcal distillery in Oaxaca with 100% sustainable certification: production without the use of animals, total reuse of water, and complete use of waste. Our mezcals have won international gold medals, and now you can find out why.
Your experience kicks off with an exclusive stop at our agave plantation on Monte Albán hill, where you can see the plants that will become mezcal while enjoying panoramic views of the archaeological zone. This connection between Zapotec history and mezcal culture is unique in Oaxaca.
In our three-generation factory, you'll see firsthand how scientific research and family tradition come together to create world-class mezcal. Our team works with universities to reduce the industry's environmental impact.
It all culminates with a guided tasting of 5 internationally gold medal-winning mezcals. You'll learn to distinguish the complex notes of each variety, guided by experts who have mezcal in their blood.
