“We booked this tour based on glowing reviews and recommendations—and wow, it absolutely did not disappoint. Adriel is truly one of a kind. His English is California-perfect, and his pride and passion for Oaxaca—its culture, history, and food—are unmatched. He brings BIG, contagious energy to the experience. My husband and I half-joked that we wanted to adopt him 😂. He’s incredibly knowledgeable and has an amazing ability to read the group’s vibe, sharing as much (or as little) depth as you want. We had a thousand questions, and he answered every one with patience, enthusiasm, and genuine joy. The tour itself is fantastic—visiting several historical sites with detailed, thoughtful explanation...”

“Ricardo was extremely knowledgeable. As a novice tequila drinker from the United States, I found it fascinating to learn about the traditions of tequila, how it originated, and how it has evolved over time. Ricardo walked us through every step of the process — from the history and families who first created tequila, to the marketing and branching out of some of the most famous producers. The tasting itself was an incredible experience. Sampling different tequilas back-to-back was eye-opening, as it allowed us to truly notice the differences in quality, flavor profiles, and styles. Ricardo was very attentive, patient, and thorough in answering all of our questions. Overall, this was…”

The satisfaction of continuing an artesenal and ancestral product. It is about family. A past and present community of comfort and of tradition. Finally, it is about life. Recognizing the fragility and honoring those that paved the way. The mezcal journey is a reminder of what is simple, easily overlooked, and never to be forgotten. Thank you Ricardo. Dixeebe.”
