Overview

Discover pre-hispanic pulque and ancestral mezcal; agave drinks and the sun of the Guachichil desert. Did you know that pulque and mezcal come from the same plant? In San Luis Potosí we have a grand tradition for the elaboration of these drinks that are a standard representation of our national identity. We will visit the communities that preserve this tradition and we will get to know the rural surroundings in the vicinity of the capital city.

Itinerary

  • San Luis Potosi

    We will leave San Luis Potosí at 10:00 am where our first stop will be the magueyeras of Derramaderos, a community near the periphery of the capital city. We will visit David and his mother Eufemia, who will take us to collect mead and demonstrate the elaboration of pulque, a pre-Hispanic drink.

    1 hour

  • N/A

    It is time to get back into the vehicle to where we will continue along the route of the potosino mezcal and we will enter the mountains where the first Spanish settlement was established in the state, San Miguel de Mexquitic. We will visit a community where Angel, Daniel, Manuel, Maria de la Luz and their families invite us to visit their vinata, or mezcal patio. During the tour, we will get to know the processes for the preparation and elaboration of mezcal using the campanilla, an ANCESTRAL technique that uses clay pots for its distillation, giving the drink an amazing flavor that sets it apart from anything you have ever tried before.

    1 hour 30 minutes

  • N/A

    We will learn how to taste mezcal properly with a technique that will build up the experience with our senses. Forget about whatever you learned during those wild nights of spring break, this spirit needs to be appreciate in a special way.

Awesome experience

Published on Nov, 2024

Miguel took us outside of the city to a mescal ranch. Very educational. Was able to learn the traditional method of making mescal followed by a tasting. Miguel is very knowledgeable and made the whole experience comfortable as well as educational. Highly recommend.

Mescal Tour Showcased the pride of the People.

Published on Nov, 2024

This tour took place a little ways outside of historic downtown San Luis Potosi. Miguel, our same tour guide from the Pedestrian Tour in San Luis Potosí Downtown Historic District, which I also highly recommend, picked us up in the morning. From the beginning it was a non-stop historical lesson on the people, culture and pride of the surrounding effort. Speaking to Miguel, very much a people person was effortless. Our first stop on the tour included an insider look at how a family preserves the old tradition and recipe that is Campanilla Mescal. Miguel even took the time to show us how to properly savor the individual notes of the Mescal. Our second stop was a look into the makings of pluque, a tradition of harvesting and fermenting the agave nectar. Thank you soo much Miguel for the experience. I highly recommend!

My husband and I had an amazing experience. Definitely recommended to anyone visiting San Luis! Miguel was a wonderful tour guide providing a comprehensive experience. He was very informative about the prehistoric timeline of the land and kept us entertained from the moment we met, until the moment we departed!

Unforgettable
