Thursday, November 30
We will start the day off in Oaxaca Centro with a delicious breakfast at Caterina, a cozy and inviting spot known for its authentic Mexican cuisine. Enjoy dishes like chilaquiles and molletes in the bright and airy atmosphere, complete with natural light and warm wood accents.
After we will head over to the palenques of Santa Catarina Minas, a mezcal town renowned for its unique technique of distilling mezcal in clay pots. This ancient method imparts a distinct flavor and aroma to the mezcal, making it stand out from others distilled in copper or other metal. Clay pot still will be a new experience for us on this trip.
Get ready for a truly unique experience in the mezcal town of Santa Caterina Minas! Our first stop is at Lalocura, where we'll have the opportunity to meet master distiller Eduardo "Lalo" Ángeles himself.
Lalocura's clay pot distilled mezcales have gained a devoted following among chefs, writers, and mezcal enthusiasts, who flock to the palenque daily to spend time with Lalo, taste his more than 20 expressions of mezcal, listen to his stories and share a photo of his colorful dining room table covered in empty veladoras on Instagram.
Before founding Lalocura in 2014, Eduardo Ángeles honed his craft as the fourth-generation master distiller of his family's brand, drawing on a lifetime of experience working under his late father, Don Lorenzo, as well as his degree in agricultural engineering, and his own unique philosophy. This is an experience that no mezcal lover should miss, as you will get to taste and learn about the unique clay pot distilled mezcal and meet the master distiller himself.
Next on our tour, we'll be heading over to meet Antonio Carlos Martinez, also known locally as Conejo. He's a third-generation mezcalero from Santa Catarina Minas, Oaxaca, and the first in his family to own his own palenque. Over the last three years, his palenque has grown from one tina to four, paralleling his local popularity in the mezcal space. He is known as a fun, light-hearted, welcoming mezcalero who offers an unforgettable tasting room experience. It's very apparent that he is extremely connected to his community, his workers, his family, and his faith.
Enjoy a simple but amazing lunch from his wife and mother, and get to meet his children. It's a unique opportunity to experience the personal side of mezcal production and to meet the people behind it. Conejo's mezcal rarely makes it north of the border by means other than a suitcase until now, and this is your chance to taste it and meet the man behind it.
Our last stop on today’s adventure is to meet Maestra Rosario Ángeles Vásquez, a first generation mezcal distiller from Santa Catarina Minas. Despite coming from a family with no history of mezcal production, Rosario decided to pursue her passion and build her own palenque. Her decision was met with controversy, both within her family and the community, but she was determined to make her dream a reality.
In just three months, Rosario had her palenque built and was ready to begin her first distillation. Unfortunately, her first distillation coincided with the start of the pandemic, but she was undeterred. Now 10 distillations into her career, Rosario is continuing to pursue her passion and is producing some of the most sought-after mezcal in the region.
Rosario is an inspiration to us all, and a reminder that anything is possible when you have the passion and dedication to make it happen. We are so grateful for the chance to meet her and learn about her story.
