Our day in Matatlan generally begins with a visit to a local pulqueria for a tasting of pulque, a prehispanic fermented agave beverage. We will visit an Espadin field to learn about the cultivation of Mezcal's most common plant before a short and easy walk to search for and learn about wild varietals of Agave. We will discuss age, maturity, reproduction, scarcity, harvest and answer questions. Then it's short drive to the Palenque (distillery) where we will explain and hopefully get to observe part of the mezcal production process and sample some Casa Cortes products including Nuesta Soledad, El Jolgorio and Agave De Cortes.
Note: There are 3 different palenques we might visit during this trip depending on the production schedules at each one. The goal is to allow the clients to see as much of the process in action as possible, but production doesn't happen everywhere everyday, so there is no guarantee that there will be production in process on every tour.
