✨ Connect with local women entrepreneurs and take part in women-led impact in Oaxaca.

Saturday 29th August

10 am to 5 pm

Journey through the Tlacolula Valley and experience Oaxaca's rich mezcal and chocolate traditions alongside local women entrepreneurs.

Visit a family run palenque, with a woman entrepreneur at its head, to learn about the journey from agave to artisanal mezcal, before meeting a woman entrepreneur who is redefining tradition by running one of the few women-led mezcal bars in her community.

Share a homemade meal together, then take part in a traditional chocolate workshop and tasting while learning about another of the valley's most cherished culinary traditions.

Step into everyday life and real conversations rather than an experience created for tourism. Transportation is included, and all proceeds are reinvested into Fundación En Vía's work with women entrepreneurs.

At Fundación En Vía, tourism is a tool for impact. We work with women entrepreneurs through interest-free loans, business education, and ongoing support that helps strengthen economic opportunities over time.

Every woman you meet during this experience is part of these programs, meaning your participation becomes part of a larger model of women-led economic empowerment.

Because we work alongside women over many years, you step into experiences built on trust — spending time in real spaces and conversations rather than experiences created for tourism.
