This will not be a typical visit to a palenque. Capotlán is the only mezcal distillery in Oaxaca with 100% sustainable certification: production without the use of animals, full water reuse, and complete utilisation of byproducts. Our mezcals have won international gold medals, and now you can discover why.

Your experience begins with an exclusive stop at our agave plantation on the hill of Monte Albán, where you can see the plants that will be transformed into mezcal while enjoying panoramic views of the archaeological zone. This connection between Zapotec history and mezcal culture is unique in Oaxaca.

At our three-generation distillery, you will see first-hand how scientific research and family tradition come together to create world-class mezcal. Our team collaborates with universities to reduce the industry's environmental impact.

The experience culminates with a guided tasting of 5 mezcals that have won gold medals at international competitions. You will learn to distinguish the complex notes of each variety, guided by experts who have mezcal in their blood.
