What You’ll Experience

Amatitan

Our first stop is a family-owned tequila distillery in Amatitán, operated by the Real family since 1942. On a private distillery tour, you'll discover every stage of tequila production, from blue agave cultivation in the fields to cooking, fermentation, distillation, and aging. Engage all five senses as you see, smell, touch, hear, and taste the tequila-making process firsthand. You'll also compare two production methods: traditional (ancestral) and modern industrial, and taste how each influences the flavor and aroma of the same tequila types The distillery tour is completely private for you and your companions, allowing you to enjoy a personalized experience with plenty of opportunities to ask questions and learn directly from your guide. We'll finish with a guided tasting featuring at least four different tequila expressions. Unlimited samples are included. Your guide will teach you the proper tasting technique to appreciate the unique characteristics of each tequila.

Agave Landscape and Ancient Industrial Facilities of Tequila

Get your camera ready for an unforgettable photo stop! From a panoramic viewpoint, admire the breathtaking UNESCO World Heritage agave landscape framed by the majestic Tequila Volcano. As you take in the views, your local guide will share the indigenous legends, fascinating geology, and rich history of the volcano and the blue agave plant, offering a deeper understanding of the cultural origins of tequila.

20 minutesAdmission Ticket Free

Tequila

After a 20-minute drive, continue to the heart of Tequila Pueblo Magico. Stroll through the colorful cobblestone streets of its historic center, where beautifully preserved architecture spans from the 17th to the 20th century. Unlike tours focused only on drinking and partying, this experience explores the region's rich history, from its indigenous roots and the Spanish colonial era to the rise of tequila production and tourism as the economic backbone of modern Tequila, Jalisco. You'll also have as long as you need to browse local markets filled with handcrafted souvenirs, artisanal products, and lesser-known local tequila brands. End your visit by enjoying authentic Jalisco cuisine at either the lively municipal market or one of Tequila's finest restaurants. Pair your meal with tequila cocktails or tequila tastings based on your preferences before returning to Guadalajara
