We will be pairing up with mezcal producers and experts, Andrea Hagan and Marco Ochoa, to host an intimate dinner at El Naranjo on Thursday, June 8. While enjoying a 5-course dinner celebrating the foods and drinks of The Sierra Sur, you will learn about mezcal including its types, origin, characteristics, flavor profile and so much more. 

Marco Ochoa, the co-founder of Mezcouting and founder of Gusto histórico, comes from a long line of mezcal producers — more than four generations of his family have made and commercialized traditional mezcal in the Sierra Sur of Oaxaca. Since 2005, he has worked to promote traditional mezcal and disseminate information about the bio-cultural processes behind this beverage. His work has been fundamental in positioning mezcal on the world stage. 

Andrea Hagan has a background in food systems and community development. Originally from Chicago, she has been a traditional mezcal educator in Oaxaca since 2013. She is a co-founder of Mezcouting and is currently guiding cultural experiences.
