WELCOME
TO THE SILVER AGE OF MEZCAL

OUR MEZCAL

Argato, a treasure and a pleasure


OUR MISSION

In an era where mass production often overshadows craft, Mezcal Argato stands firm in its commitment to the artisanal. We passionately preserve and promote century-old mezcal-making traditions, yielding small batches of ultra-premium spirit that are as rich in heritage as they are in flavor. Yet, our vision extends beyond the bottle: we see a future where businesses lead the way in social and environmental accountability.

 

Our mission? To not just create an exceptional mezcal, but to build a legacy that advances rural communities, respects the environment, and upholds the dignity of craftsmanship.

A CENTURY OF FAMILY TRADITION IN EVERY DROP

Mezcal Argato, founded by Israel and Rio Landa in Buenavista de Cuellar, Guerrero, is a Mexico-based artisanal mezcal brand that marries centuries-old techniques with modern innovation to craft premium mezcal. We are a Single Estate farm, owned by the Landa family, who have dedicated more than four generations to farming. Inspired by a deep love for mezcal and the land, our distillery—located in a region renowned for its cultural richness, biodiversity, and silver production—upholds a legacy of meticulous craftsmanship. The name Argato, derived from “Argento” (Spanish for silver, symbol Ag47), symbolizes our dedication to quality and heritage. Operating a fully sustainable, vertical process, we grow our own agaves, distill with meticulous craftsmanship using custom handmade hammered copper stills and an engineered 2-ton volcanic tahona, and bottle on-site. Committed to social consciousness and environmental stewardship, our 100% handicap-accessible distillery reflects our passion for inclusivity, delivering an exceptional mezcal experience from seed to bottle.
