Description
Explore prehistoric caves and discover wild agaves. Enjoy a private agave roasting at the Noble Coyote palenque, a guided tasting of six award-winning mezcals, and an exquisite signature dinner.
The tour begins in the prehistoric caves of the Central Valleys of Oaxaca, where the remains of their ancient inhabitants bring us closer to a history deeply rooted in the land. We'll explore the landscape to identify the region's wild agaves and discover the botanical richness that surrounds us.
Next, at the Noble Coyote palenque, the Monterrosa family will welcome us around the oven to share one of the key moments in mezcal tradition: a private agave roasting. Amid the heat of the stones and the arrangement of the piñas, we will take part in the beginning of a transformation guided by fire, time, and the craft of the master mezcaleros. We will also learn about the artisanal processes that take agave from the earth to mezcal.
Snacks and cocktails will accompany the gathering, which will culminate in a tasting of Noble Coyote mezcals, recognized with more than ten national and international awards, and a signature dinner by Chef Walter Markman: a celebration of the flavors of Oaxaca and the hands that bring them to life.
