About this activity

Immerse yourself in the culture, history, and tradition of tequila on this tour of the José Cuervo tequila factory, the largest and oldest in the world, right in the heart of Tequila, a "Pueblo Mágico."

Learn the different processes and techniques used to distill Mexico's most famous beverage by visiting two tequila factories: one with artisanal processes and the other with a production that meets global demand.

During the tour, you'll enjoy a double tasting of different tequilas. At José Cuervo, the tasting takes place directly from the barrels of the oldest winery in the world.

Don't forget to capture unforgettable memories among the stunning blue agave fields.

We'll visit "Cantaritos el Güero," the place where giant cantaritos, the most traditional beverage of the region, originated.

After all the fun and learning, we'll take you back to Guadalajara.
