Description
Discover the magical world of mezcal in Oaxaca with a tasting of 5 wild agave spirits. Learn about the history, agave varieties, and the art of mezcal creation in a unique sharing ritual.
Fuego Silvestre: Oaxaca’s Mystical Mezcal Ceremony
Step into a restored colonial house in the heart of Oaxaca and discover a mezcal ritual like no other. This is not just a tasting — it’s a ceremony of fire, ancient breath, and spirit. Surrounded by handmade clay, flickering candles, and wild agaves, you’ll be guided through a sensory journey rooted in ancestral tradition.
Begin by grounding yourself in the warmth of a candlelit space where tradition holds presence and each object tells a story. Feel the pulse of Oaxaca through the elements — earth, fire, smoke, and time — as you connect with others around a shared table.
Dive deep into the soul of mezcal. Learn about its sacred origins, the untamed landscapes where wild agaves grow, and the ancient methods used to create it. Each pour reveals layers of flavor, tradition, and history — from the heart of the maguey to the hands of the maestro mezcalero.
You will taste five rare and wild mezcals, each selected for their unique origin, complexity, and character. Every sip is a portal: an invitation to connect with something older than memory — the sacred fire that lives in the spirit.
As the ritual closes, take with you a special gift from Oaxaca — as a symbol of the night and the memory it leaves behind. Because here, mezcal is not just a drink… it is felt, honored, and remembered…
