Cortijo La Mezcaleria

We did degustaciones and copas of mezcales, and we enjoyed them all. The bartender did a great job of explaining the difference between all of the mezcales. The seats were very comfortable (compared to the backless wooden stools at other mezcalerias).

Stopped in here to do a tasting in January 2021 and loved the relaxed but very expertly done presentation. Great small batch mezcals. Plan on bringing my sons in 2022. Will update with new pics then. January 2023: returned for my third visit with 2 sons and once again enjoyed the informative tasting of small batch Mezcales. 5 stars June 2023: enjoyed our relaxing time learning more about the Mezcal world in Oaxaca. Small Batch is still so much fun to experience. February 2024: Place moved next door but same great service. I really appreciate finding a different small batch each time I visit.

Very attentive and friendly staff who is knowledgeable about the Mezcal that the house specializes in. It was our first time mezcal tasting and the bartender walked us through some of the basics, kiss the mezcal, don’t mix it with anything but water, and drink it slowly. We did the basic tasting which cost 180MXN, and got three 1 oz. shots of mezcal. The bar is very cute, decorated with clean lines and pictures of the family who made the mezcal. Overall loved the experience of sharing time with friends while tasting some great mezcal. Even my husband who typically doesn’t like mezcal enjoyed the experience and actually liked the mezcal!

Great variety of mezcal, and a friendly staff. They really know what they are talking about and gonna help you to have a good "mezcal" experience. Also, they do accept payment in cards. A little bit expensive, but worth it. A place to go with your friends.

This is a high end mezclaria. It's small, but the mezcal is much better than many other mezclarias. The server and manager were very knowledgeable about their products. Great place to try out some mezcal.

Our time here was an absolute treat! Great service and even better mezcal. We tasted a variety of artisanal mezcals and the host shared a ton of information. Couldn’t have asked for a better tasting experience!

Fun degustaciones. Bartender very knowledgeable in explaining the varieties and the blends, what they were made with and the flavors. It's hard to recommend places here because there are so many awesome little mezcalerias with local amazingness and this is definitely among my favorite so far!

This has to be the best mezcaleria on the planet! Abbey (sp?) is extremely knowledgeable and, apart from the excellent mezcal she offers up for tasting, we just really enjoy chatting with her.
