Experience Tequila offers an introductory tequila travel package called Welcome To Tequila.
A fun, thorough introduction to Tequila Country. Taste some of the best tequila in the world, witness the agave harvest, visit distilleries both historic and new, from ultra-modern to artisanal, and see the very best of colonial Guadalajara.
Visiting Tequila is an unforgettable experience. Nestled in a valley amongst endless fields of blue agave, this UN World Heritage Site lies at the foot of a dormant volcano and enjoys excellent weather. With most of the tequila in the world being made in and around Tequila town, our distillery visits make for easy jaunts, leaving plenty of time for evening activities. You will see blue agave harvested, taste it fresh-roasted from a brick oven, learn and see the various techniques of fermenting and distilling and, best of all, savor the finished products in exclusive Old Mexico settings.
Our accommodations are in the colonial Tlaquepaque area of Guadalajara, the capital of Jalisco, cradle of Mexican independence and “most Mexican of cities.” The city features world-renowned architecture, murals, museums, food and music. This is the birthplace of most things you think of as typically Mexican: mariachis (dozens of whom await your patronage at the Plaza de los Mariachis), the Mexican Hat Dance, pozole soup and charros (Mexican cowboys). ¡Ándale!
