DARE TO DREAM
ROSARIO ÁNGELES VÁSQUEZ
Meet Rosario Ángeles Vásquez, a spirited and audacious mezcal artisan from the vibrant town of Santa Catarina Minas. Despite facing skepticism and discouragement from her own family, Rosario’s unyielding determination and burning passion for the craft have propelled her to surpass all expectations.
Rosario’s journey into mezcal-making was driven not only by her personal ambition but also by her profound connection to her homeland and its vibrant cultural heritage. Growing up in Santa Catarina Minas, where the air is infused with the captivating aroma of agave, she developed an innate appreciation for the art of mezcal making from a young age. This rich environment shaped her deep-rooted passion for crafting this ancestral elixir.
While pursuing a career in language teaching, Rosario felt unfulfilled and longed to pursue her true calling in mezcal making. At the age of 27, she made the decision to follow her dreams, despite ridicule and scorn from her family. In 2020, her journey truly began as she immersed herself in the world of mezcal, absorbing the wisdom passed down through generations and refining her knowledge of agaves.
Through dedication and expertise, Rosario has transformed the production of mezcal into an art form that reflects her deep love and respect for her heritage. Her mezcal is not only a libation but a testament to her resilience, courage, and unwavering pursuit of passion. Each sip tells a story—an ode to the strength of the human spirit and the indomitable force that lies within a woman who dares to dream.
