Your tequila-themed day trip begins with pickup at your hotel in Guadalajara and transfer via air-conditioned van to a hearty Mexican breakfast to avoid kicking off the day with an empty stomach.

Afterwards, continue on by van to visit a master tequila producer, tour the distillery, and sample eight artisan tequilas in the VIP cellar before relaxing at a scenic tequila bar overlooking the agave fields. Sip palomas and cantaritos cocktails and enjoy a spread of snacks while you snap photos of the views and relax.

Cap off your day with some free time in the town of Tequila to browse the local artisan shops, stop for a bite, and explore on your own before the return transfer and drop-off at your hotel.

We had the best day. Andy...

Jason_K, Jun 2026

We had the best day. Andy was our driver and guide - she made sure we were all having a great time and she was so knowledgeable about tequila - a true tequila connoisseur and expert! The itinerary packed a lot in, with a number of distillery tours and tastings, breakfast and lunch, and free time to wander the town of Tequila. Definitely recommend to anyone visiting Guadalajara!

Best tour of all time

Taiki_I, Jun 2026

I participated in the tour on June and it was the best season to visit. I went there by myself but couldn’t speak Spanish at all, but my guide was so nice to me and talked with me in English all the time that I was able to have full experience in Jalisco!! You can enjoy both history and drinking in each location, which should be fun for all generations!

Fun and education along the Tequila Trail in Jalisco

David_S, Apr 2026

It turned out that my wife and I were the only people on the tour that day, so we had our guide Andrea all to ourselves! She's an excellent leader and driver, and made our day super fun and educational. As we drove, she pointed out the many agave plants growing in the region and explained a lot about the economics of the industry. We got a really in-depth look at tequila production at the Cava De Oro distillery, as well as a fine tasting. After that tour, I felt like I knew enough to start making tequila! We didn't realize before then that cooked tequila tastes great (much like a sweet yam). Then we had another tasting at the Casa Marengo distillery where we picked up some excellent blancos at very reasonable prices. Lastly, we rolled into the town of Tequila, had an elegant lunch at a beautiful restaurant, walked around the city, then did some more tasting at a tasting room in town. All in all, it was a wonderful day and I heartily recommend the tour to anyone who loves tequila and the countryside of Jalisco.

Best Tequila Tour

Mvazquez, Apr 2026

Amazing experience. Very well organized. Couldn’t be more please with the experience, Eduardo was very knowledgeable, the experience was great. We were picked up at our hotel, taken to traditional Mexican breakfast what delicious, then were taken to try pulque, followed by a tour and tasting at two distilleries. Followed by a late lunch or early dinner in tequila we ended the night at El Guero. Over all absolutely amazing experience.

Discovering the secrets of tequila

Fabrizio_S, Apr 2026

This tour exceeded all expectations. From start to finish, everything was perfectly organized and thoughtfully curated. A special thanks to our guide, Eduardo, who made the entire experience engaging and insightful. His knowledge and passion really brought the world of tequila to life. We started with a visit to La Puerta de Hierro distillery, where we had a true cultural deep dive into tequila production. It was not just a tasting, we actually learned the process, the history, and what makes a high-quality tequila. We even had the chance to purchase authentic tequila directly from their shop. The second stop at Marengo distillery was great because we could already start noticing the differences in production styles and flavor profiles, which made the experience even more interesting. The highlight for me was the artisanal distillery run by the Orendain twins, Mariano and Santiago. This was a truly authentic experience, where we could explore the traditional production process in a very hands-on and personal way. Throughout the day, we were also provided with breakfast and dinner, both of which were very satisfying and well organized. Overall, this is a top-class experience that I would highly recommend to anyone visiting Guadalajara and wanting to truly understand tequila beyond just drinking it.

Tequila ecstasy !!!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐An exceptional, in-depth tequila experience-worth every peso

Raquel_D, Jan 2026

I can’t say enough good things about The Agave Experience Tequila Tour. From start to finish, this was one of the most well-designed, informative, and enjoyable tours I’ve done in Jalisco. Our tour guide was outstanding—extremely knowledgeable, articulate, and clearly passionate about tequila. As a mixologist, I already understand the basics of tequila production, but what really impressed me was her ability to go far beyond the surface. She answered all of my technical questions in detail and walked us through every single step of the process with a depth of information I didn’t expect. It was refreshing to be on a tour that didn’t oversimplify things and instead respected curious, knowledgeable guests. Our first stop was Cava de Oro, and it was absolutely stunning. The distillery has a rustic, romantic hacienda-style atmosphere that feels authentic and timeless. The setting alone is worth the visit—beautiful courtyards, barrel rooms, and multiple tasting areas. A detail I really appreciated: all tequila tastings were served in proper glassware, not plastic shot glasses. It elevated the entire experience and showed real respect for the spirit. The second distillery was another artisanal operation, and honestly—it produced the best tequila I’ve ever had. Being able to see the full production side was fascinating: the bottle cleaning room, the factory line, and a small team of women carefully packaging tequila by hand. This tequila felt special, personal, and thoughtfully made. They also had incredible beef jerky on site, which was a fun and unexpected bonus. Later, we headed into the town of Tequila itself, where we had time to walk around the main central area. The energy was lively—people celebrating, music playing, and a small market where you can buy tequila-related goods and local souvenirs. It was the perfect balance of cultural immersion and fun. Lunch was at Casa Sauza, located inside the Jose Cuervo Distillery. The food was good by Mexican standards—solid, flavorful, and satisfying. Breakfast earlier in the day was a small, authentic Mexican spot that felt very local. While the food wasn’t anything extraordinary, it was genuinely traditional and absolutely worth experiencing. I tried cactus tacos for the first time, and once I added cilantro, onion, salsa, salt, and seasoning, they were delicious. A charming touch: there was a friendly pet rooster wandering around the restaurant, which made the experience feel even more authentic. By the end of the day, I was full, happy, slightly buzzed, and genuinely felt like I had made lifelong friends. The pacing of the tour was excellent, the variety of experiences was thoughtful, and nothing felt rushed. If you’re even remotely interested in tequila—whether you’re a beginner or someone with real knowledge—this tour is 100% worth the money. It’s educational, fun, beautifully curated, and leaves you with a deep appreciation for tequila, the people who make it, and the region itself. Highly, highly recommend.

The best :)

A Must-Do Experience in Jalisco!

Jonathan_R, Nov 2025

We had an incredible time on The Agave Experience Tequila Tour! Our guide, Andrea, was amazing — she explained every step of the tequila-making process with such detail that we left feeling like experts. The tasting experience was excellent, and she even stopped in the agave fields so we could take some great photos. Andrea also took us to a few great local spots where the food was amazing, and we got to visit the viral bar where drinks are served in clay cups. Visiting the town of Tequila itself was another highlight, especially since there was a red-carpet event happening that added a unique local flair to the day. Overall, this tour was the highlight of our trip to Guadalajara. We learned a a lot of tequilas, had a ton of fun, and would highly recommend it to anyone looking to experience real Jalisco culture and the heart of tequila production.

Best experience ever,...

char, Sep 2025

This tour was one of the best ones we did! From start to finish it went smooth, thanks to Jorge for his excellent service, communication & knowledge on all things Tequila & Jalisco. The tour is well worth every moment every cent spent. We learnt along the way from Jorge & appreciated the visits to all local joints along the way for food run by locals. We absolutely loved the chance to visit Cantarito El Güero #1 at the end of the tour. We wouldn’t have visited otherwise & we got to experience it first time. This tour is exceptional!

Tequila 101

Guzzla_B, Aug 2025

This tour starts off with a great local breakfast and you'll surely need it. This is a day of tasting some great Tequila. Andrea was great. She explained the distillation process from start to finish and what goes into to making a great Tequila on to the best way to consume it. I left the tour with a better appreciation of each style from the Blonco to the extra Anjeo and what to pair them with. We got a chance to cruise around Tequila town and finish the tour at the well known spot El Guero. Don't pass up on this tour.

Highly recommended

Vanthana_B, Aug 2025

I did the Agave Experience tour with Andrea and got super lucky — I was the only one on the tour that day, so it felt really personal. Andrea told me their tours are always customized to the group, no matter the size, which I thought was great. She’s so knowledgeable and has a background in food engineering, so I learned a ton about the tequila-making process, the different varieties, and even how to drink tequila like a pro. The tasting at Cava de Oro was one of my favorite parts — amazing tequila, and no pressure at all to buy anything. What I also loved is that the tour is run by their company (not the distillery), so it felt more genuine and flexible. Andrea also took me to a nice spot for lunch, we stopped in the agave fields for photos, and then spent some time exploring the town of Tequila. Overall, it was such a fun day and I’d definitely recommend this tour to anyone visiting.

A Must Do When In Guadalajara!

Daniel_E, Aug 2025

This was one of the best experiences that I have ever booked on Viator. We came to Guadalajara for my husbands birthday and we enjoyed everything thoroughly. It became one of the most memorable days ever. Andie, who was our guide, was extremely knowledgeable about tequila and the tequila making process. You can tell she has forged great relationships with everyone she’s come into contact with. The little taco shop we stopped at in the beginning had some of the best tacos I’ve ever had. Andie was extremely patient and kind and willing to share all of her knowledge. By the end of the tour we felt like the best of friends and knew not just about how to taste tequila, but the ins and outs of the process. The locations were beautiful and it was truly one of the most unforgettable days we’ve ever had.

Simply Amazing

Michael_H, Aug 2025

This was a great experience! Andie had it all covered and was very knowledgeable about not only tequila, but Mexican history, culture and more. She was a blast to hang out with for the day. We would recommend this trip to anyone who loves tequila, but wants to know more and learn it from a fun and exciting person. Great guide!

Unforgettable Tequila Tasting Tour – A Must-Do Experience!

Anonymous, Jul 2025

Our day in the magical town of Tequila was absolutely unforgettable! From start to finish, everything was perfectly organized, and we couldn’t have asked for a better guide than Andrea. She was knowledgeable, friendly, and made us feel like family the entire time. The tequila tastings were top-tier we learned so much about the agave process, visited incredible distilleries, and even got to taste some rare and artisanal varieties. The town of Tequila itself was full of charm, culture, and beautiful views. My entire family loved every moment. Andrea truly made the experience special. Her passion for the region and tequila culture shines through, and she went above and beyond to make sure everyone was having a great time. If you're considering this tour, book it and ask for Andrea. It was the highlight of our trip!

Pedro was amazing, patient, didn’t rush us, and explained very well. Top quality service. Would forsure take another tour with him.

Best Tequila Tour Ever

Sherry_S, May 2025

Our guide, Andrea, was very knowledgeable and we all learned so much about the tequila process. The places she took us to were top notch and I tasted some of the best tequila I have ever had. We all had so much fun and I plan on doing this same tour next time my daughter comes from California. I highly recommend this tour!

We had a fantastic time...

Christian_M, Mar 2025

We had a fantastic time with Andie, eating and drinking our way through el Arenal and tequila. She also gave us fantastic reqs for where to go for the evening and dinner in Guadalajara- I recommend unreservedly :)

Great Day Trip, Fun, and Educational

Hilary_S, Mar 2025

We really enjoyed our day spent learning about tequila and exploring the region outside of Guadalajara. We especially enjoyed our guides (Jorge) and thought they provided a berth of knowledge about tequila production and consumption. This was the perfect day trip. The stops at 2 distilleries and the town of Tequila were just the right amount. We also enjoyed the breakfast at a local place for Gorditas and then a late lunch at a local restaurant outside of Tequila. All in this tour was about 9 hours. Before this trip, most of my family members viewed tequila in a totally different light than they do now... in fact we are now tequila enthusiasts!

An amazing, knowledgeable, and fun experience

Manuel_B, Mar 2025

It was awesome and very informative! She took the time to explain everything very well and showed up the whole process.

Mas Tequila!

Frank_A, Feb 2025

In depth tour of the Tequila making process, the Meals and follow up tasting were fun too. Andrea was a great guide

Great tour with well informed guide

Jessica_A, Feb 2025

Our tour guide was very knowledgeable (in fact I overheard how another tour was going and realized we got the smart tour guide lol). The tour was extremely well paced between touring distilleries and tastings. Yes, you do taste quite a bit of tequila, but it's manageable with time between tastings.

Excellent tour

Nancy_M, Feb 2025

We had a very informative tour with Andie. She brought us to small distilleries with excellent tasting tequilas. We also had an amazing breakfast in a family run restaurant. We would highly recommend this tour.

Fabulous tour!

Bonnie_M, Dec 2024

Andie was such a great tour guide! She was knowledgeable and friendly. She knew all the secret spots to take us and now we have fabulous memories!

Highly recommended!

Farnaz_J, Dec 2024

We had an amazing experience on our tequila tour with Pedro as our guide. He was incredibly friendly and knowledgeable about tequila, making the tour both fun and educational. Breakfast at a local spot was delicious and a perfect way to start the day. Both distilleries we visited were fantastic, and Tequila Town itself was beautiful and vibrant, filled with unique charm and colorful streets. Our private tour ran smoothly from start to finish, making the entire experience enjoyable and stress-free. Highly recommend!

Incredible perspective on tequila and agave spirits!

Albert_C, Oct 2024

A wonderful look at the tequila making process with an in-depth perspective on the people and communities that make it possible. We enjoyed Pedro's expertise and insight as we got to explore the process from growing to bottling.
