Oaxaca is the paradise of mezcal<\/strong>. And if you\u2019ve been in the city for a few days, you\u2019ve probably started to see it for yourself. It\u2019s the dominant liquor on most cocktail lists and there are even entire bars, called mezcalerias, devoted to sipping the spirit. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

But perhaps most interesting are the small palenques of Oaxaca<\/strong>. Many of these mezcal distilleries operate in small towns about one hour away. So it\u2019s no wonder most travelers seek to book a Oaxaca mezcal tour<\/strong> as part of their stay.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All of the mezcal tours bring you to a palenque for an explanation of the process and tasting. But the best mezcal tours in Oaxaca take you through a hands-on exploration of mezcal production<\/strong>. It starts with an introduction to the different species of agave. The wild agave fields and the mezcal palenque itself become like a classroom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
