Mezcaloteca

Top choice in Oaxaca City


This swanky tasting room is by far the best place in the city to visit if you want to learn about mezcal. Not only can the staff here teach you about how mezcal is made, but you will get a crash course in how to taste it and what to look for in a quality product.

Call ahead to book a tasting session. Pay based on how many mezcals you want to taste, and come prepared to ask questions. Hosts will offer you a selection from the house brands based on your tastes. They work with small-batch producers to create a number of unique, blended, wild-crafted and aged mezcals that can't be found anywhere else.
