Make Your Own Tequila or Mezcal with Distillery and Cocktails
Overview
What truly sets this experience apart is that we host the only workshop in Mexico City where you don't just watch you become the maker. While other tours simply show you a factory, we invite you to step behind the copper stills for an exclusive, hands on masterclass in the art of distillation.
You will gain rare, insider knowledge on how Tequila and Mezcal are engineered from agave to bottle, choosing your favorite spirit to craft and take home. This is the city’s only deep-dive distillery experience that combines technical expertise, artisanal snacks, and premium mixology, making it a one of a kind opportunity to master Mexico’s most iconic spirits right in the heart of the capital.

What To Expect
Step behind the scenes for an immersive, hands-on distillation masterclass where you become a Mexican "Maestro Destilador" for the day. After exploring the fascinating science of agave varieties and traditional fermentation, you will choose whether to master the art of Tequila or Mezcal, taking charge of the copper stills to witness the transformation from fermented juice into a high-quality spirit. You’ll learn to identify the "heads, hearts, and tails" of the batch, craft the specific Mexican spirit of your choice to take home as a unique souvenir, and conclude the experience with a guided tasting and professional craft cocktails.
