Our Story

3 de Mayo

May 3rd is the feast of the Holy Cross — the day craftsmen celebrate their trade. It is also the day when, in many mezcal communities across Mexico, the agave returns to the earth.

3 de Mayo was born from that same conviction: that mezcal is not a trend, but an ancestral craft that deserves to be documented, understood, and shared with respect.

We are a mezcal knowledge platform. We do not sell bottles. We connect people with producers, regions with tables, and tradition with curiosity.

◈

Verified Origin

Every palenque in our database was visited or verified directly with the producer.

◈

Bilingual by Design

Mezcal speaks Spanish first. But we want the world to understand it.

◈

Without Empty Romanticism

We respect tradition without idealizing it. Mezcal faces real challenges.
