RUTA VINATA LA NORIA

History and mezcal in Mazatlán

Mazatlán is much more than sun, sand and sea. The lands of the municipality of Mazatlán and southern Sinaloa have a rich history: the production of mezcal, the Revolution and other events. The first “Vinata,” as the haciendas where mezcal was produced are known, was founded before 1850.

The industry expanded until it had more than 30,000 hectares of agave plantations. The mezcal produced in these Vinatas received awards at different European fairs during the first decades of the last century and became the second most important producer in Mexico.

The Osuna family settled in the town of La Noria, one of the most picturesque in the region. La Vinata Los Osuna is the only one that survives today.
