Full description
Delve into the birthplace of Mexico's national spirit on a day trip to the Magical Town of Tequila, featuring walks through UNESCO agave fields, distillery tours, and guided tastings.
Embark on a fascinating 8-hour journey dedicated to discovering the secrets, history, and meticulous craftsmanship behind Mexico's most iconic spirit: tequila. The experience begins with ultimate convenience, featuring a pickup service directly from your hotel before setting off on a scenic drive into the heart of Jalisco. Along the way, you will marvel at the vastness of the agave landscape, a stunning sea of blue-green hues designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site due to its immense cultural and natural value.
Accompanied by a certified bilingual guide, you will step inside a traditional distillery to start an absolute immersion into the production process. Walk among the ovens inhaling the sweet aroma of cooked agave and learn in detail about every stage of manufacturing, from the harvesting or "jima" to the fermentation and distillation in copper stills. To treat your palate, you will indulge in a guided tasting where you will learn to distinguish the subtle notes and nuances that set blanco, reposado, and añejo tequilas apart. Afterward, you will have the magnificent opportunity to complement the experience by exploring the legendary facilities of the world-renowned José Cuervo Distillery, if you select that option.
To wrap up this unforgettable day, you will enjoy free time to wander at your own pace through the picturesque cobblestone streets of the Magical Town of Tequila. You can visit the main plaza, explore exclusive boutique shops owned by historic tequila houses, admire the local architecture, and delight in regional gastronomy at traditional restaurants before embarking on the comfortable journey back to the designated drop-off points.
