Where to Taste Mezcal in Mexico City

"Started in 2015 by Paloma Rivera Uribe as an experiment in peer-to-peer mezcal exchange, Tianguis Mezcalero has grown into an independent project promoting traditional artisanal mezcals through cultural events that pair mezcal with cuisine, music, and community traditions. By collaborating directly with producers and artisans, TM ensures fair practices and pricing, distributes mezcal to venues, offers tastings, training, and agrotourism experiences, and supports more than 50 families from 16 mezcal projects across nine Mexican states; tastings tend to suit more experienced spirits consumers with some Spanish—follow @tianguismezcalero or email [email protected] for events and private tastings." - Lauren Mowery
