I tried mezcal and pulque. - It was a very fruitful tour, visiting the village of Mezcal, watching traditional work and learning a lot, and enjoying the purque and the street food Gordida. My guide Mikel was very cheerful and easy to understand.

Do it! - The meeting place was KFC parking lot. we rode in guide’s SUV. Miquel seems to love sharing about the importance of the agave plant in Mexican culture. English is good. He has built familial relationships w/ the mescal/pulque producing families. It was great to get out to the campo and spend time w/ them. I loved learning about the artesan production of mescal. I would have rated 5 star, except we couldn’t Observe either production process that day for various reasons. But Miguel did great job of describing it using the materials, oven and tools on site. He is animated and fun. Mescal tasting was a fun experience. Try the worm salt!! Lunch entailed farmers cheese, fresh bread, marmalade, Japanese peanuts and sweetened calabash. Clean bathrooms available.
