About this experience
This is a tour for people who want to try something different and unique. The mezcales are carefully selected to be the best, just like tequila itself. We'll learn to tell the difference between mezcal and tequila. Although both are made from agave, their flavors are completely different. The food, not to mention, is carefully selected so you'll enjoy it and want to come back for more. If you still have energy, we can stop by to enjoy a craft beer or a local wine.
