Questions
Everything you need to know about Today Mezcal, our dual-line approach, and how to join the first drop.
We make two things: traditional Oaxacan mezcal (made by maestros, the real deal) and California agave spirit from Napa Valley (made by us, wine country style). Most brands do one or the other. We do both.
No - our Napa product is labeled as a California Agave Spirit to respect mezcal's Denomination of Origin (DO) rules. Only agave spirits produced in specific Mexican regions can legally be called mezcal. Our Heritage line from Oaxaca is authentic mezcal.
Heritage is traditional Oaxacan mezcal: pit-roasted, tahona-milled, copper-distilled by maestros. Napa is California agave spirit: grown in wine country, fermented carefully, aged in oak. Both premium, totally different approaches.
We're building this right—which means about 12 months from now. We're currently researching supply chains, planning our Oaxaca trip to partner with maestros, and designing bottles. We'll share the entire journey with founding members through monthly updates. Join the waitlist to follow along and get first access when we launch.
Join our founding members waitlist on the homepage. As a founding member, you'll get behind-the-scenes updates throughout the development process, help shape product decisions through surveys, and receive first access to Batch #1 when we launch.
We're still finalizing pricing based on production costs and supply chain research. We're committed to pricing fairly—enough to support the maestros who make it and create a sustainable product. Founding members will be the first to know final pricing, and we'll share our thought process along the way.
Yes! We're planning Napa Valley's first agave spirits tasting room. Founding members will receive priority invitations to opening tastings and exclusive events. Location and opening date to be announced.
We're currently on a research trip to Oaxaca to partner with maestros who've been making mezcal for generations—likely working with Espadín agave. For the Napa line, we're exploring California agave growers who use 80% less water than wine grapes. Founding members will get updates as we finalize these partnerships.
Agave uses 80% less water than wine grapes. California has serious drought problems. Growing crops that need less water just makes sense. You can still make premium spirits - you just don't drain the aquifer to do it.
We're looking for restaurant and bar partners in Napa Valley and the Bay Area. Email hello@todaymezcal.com with your venue info and why you think we'd be a good fit.
Shipping availability depends on your state's alcohol regulations. We'll provide detailed shipping information closer to launch. Join the waitlist and we'll notify you when we can ship to your area.
We're planning exclusive production tours for founding members - both in Oaxaca (Heritage line) and Napa Valley (Agave Spirit line). Details will be shared with waitlist members as we finalize tour schedules.
