Best Places To Stay In Jalisco

The state of Jalisco has so much variety with a lot to offer. Everything from beach towns, mountains, forests, jungles, big cities, small towns and pueblo mágicos. 

Here are the best places to stay in Jalisco – covering the variety of experiences this beautiful state can give you.

📍 GUADALAJARA: The third largest metropolitan area in Mexico, Guadalajara (GDL) is a big city but much slower paced than Mexico City . GDL has a ton of cool bars, clubs, restaurants and malls. I’ll be completely honest, I enjoy Mexico City a lot more than GDL. However, I still think it’s a cool place to visit and there are a ton of cool areas near GDL for day trips or weekend getaways.

It’s also a great destination for bachelorette/bachelor parties or just any group trip. They have trendy restaurants that are great for big groups, fancy clubs, beach clubs, a ton of bars, excursions, resorts, Airbnbs and other smaller towns to visit nearby. 

I normally don’t like super touristy towns but PV still feels quite local and traditional to me. The Old Town known as “Zona Romantica” is really charming with its cobblestone streets and beautiful architecture.

➡️ Vallarta Shores Beach Hotel

📍 SAYULITA: As mentioned above, PV is a great hub to get to other smaller towns such as Sayulita. This once sleepy little surf town with mostly local travelers has now become a popular destination for foreigners. I’ll be honest, I miss what it was before. But nonetheless, it’s now a fun place to go with a lot of bars, restaurants and boutique shops. 

The best way to get to Sayulita is by flying into Puerto Vallarta. The town is about an hour and 15 minutes drive from PV. 

Pro tip: if you’re looking for a chiller vibe go to San Pancho which is a smaller beach town just 15 minutes away.

➡️ Ximena Hotel Boutique

📍 AJIJIC: You could definitely stay a weekend or a few days in Ajijic but this could also be done as a day trip coming from Guadalajara. This lakeside gem is located an hour away (by driving) from GDL along the shores of the largest lake in Mexico, Lake Chapala. Charming streets, laid-back vibes and beautiful lakeside views make Ajijic a perfect weekend getaway. 

➡️ Casa del Sol Inn

📍 MAZAMITLA: This mountain town Pueblo Mágico is the perfect nature escape. Spend your days in cozy mountain cabins, going on hikes during the day, and just enjoying nature all around you. I stayed at an amazing bubble glamping resort that was such a unique experience. Check out the link below!

I rode 2.5 hours on the back of a motorcycle to Mazamitla from Guadalajara (would not recommend it – too long for me on a motorcycle). If you take a car it shouldn’t take more than 2 hours unless you’re going around traffic hours.

➡️ La Estela Bub ble Glamping

📍 SAN SEBASTIÁN DEL OESTE: Nestled in the Sierra Madre mountains, San Sebastián del Oeste is a quaint colonial pueblo mágico that makes you feel like you’ve taken a journey back in time. 

The best way to get to San Sebastian del Oeste is flying into Puerto Vallarta and the drive from there should be less than 2 hours.

➡️ Villa Nogal Hotel Boutique & Vista

Tequila, Jalisco: FAQs

Aside from tequila tours in Jalisco, let’s dive into some common questions about Tequila and Jalisco below. 

Is Tequila a city in Mexico?

Tequila is a charming pueblo mágico (magic town) in Jalisco, Mexico. As you can see, they obviously have the best tequila tours in Jalisco being that it is known to be the birthplace of tequila. 

Is Tequila, Jalisco worth visiting?

Tequila is definitely worth visiting! Indulge in the breathtaking views of agave fields, go on a tequila tour, visit distilleries, try some local food, and enjoy the quaint cobblestone streets in this magical town. 

Where is the swing in Tequila, Jalisco?

The extreme swing is located just 10 minutes outside the town of Tequila. 

What is the best month to go to Jalisco?

It really depends on where in Jalisco you plan to go and what you want to experience considering that Jalisco has beaches, mountains, big cities, and small towns. Generally speaking, the rainy season is around June to October. However, I’ve definitely been to Jalisco during this time without it raining but the summer months are really hot so for that reason, I would avoid it. It’s safe to say you’d be good to go around November to May.

Is it safe to travel to Jalisco, Mexico right now?

I’ve traveled to Jalisco several times by myself and I’ve generally felt safe. Is there cartel activity there? Yes. But I’ve traveled all of Mexico solo and with friends and I haven’t had any major issues. I feel like if you aren’t around certain situations or cause any trouble you should be fine. 

Just like anywhere else in the world, practice safe measures and always be aware of your surroundings. (Don’t walk alone at night if the area is quite desolate, don’t flash your money or expensive things around, carry only what you need for the day, etc.)

Conclusion: Tequila, Jalisco Tours

I hope you enjoyed reading through my top picks for the best tequila tours in Jalisco! While the tours share a similar experience, each one offers a unique twist to your tequila adventure. So, grab your shot glass, be sure to hydrate, and get ready for some fun in Tequila! Salud!

15 Tequila Tours from Guadalajara: Distilleries and Tastings

Sharing is caring!

Visiting the Tequila Valley in Central Jalisco state is one of the world’s great culinary experiences. Much like visiting the Champagne region in France or Chianti in Italy, the Tequila Valley is home to the origin story of one of the world’s most popular beverages. The best tequila tours from Guadalajara include beautiful landscapes, ancient culinary traditions, and cool drinking establishments all over the region.

There are also a lot of tourist traps in the area. The best experiences require some research, advanced reservations, or a really good tour guide.

These are the best tequila tours for every sort of traveler including transportation, expert knowledge, and artisanal tasting experiences.

The Agave Experience Tequila Tour

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A deep dive into the history & culture of Mexico with a certified Tequila Master

It is easy to overlook the best things to do in Tequila behind the expert marketing of a big company.

Guadalajara is the capital of tequila country without a doubt. Tequila’s governing body, the Consejo Regulador de Tequila is located here. There is a whole industry of traditional cantinas, modern cocktail bars, and world-class restaurants. Most travelers will simply pass through the Guadalajara Airport and explore the city as they arrange transportation to the valley.

I have lived in this area since 2009 and dedicated a great deal of time to studying the history of the region. My friends in the industry have helped me identify the most authentic tours, distilleries, and experiences in the Tequila Valley. I want to help you craft a truly fulfilling tequila tour from Guadalajara with elements of history, culture, and culinary arts.

An Overview Of The Tequila Valley

The town of Tequila is just one of nine municipalities in the Tequila Valley . Many of the best experiences are found outside of the city center and require some transportation.

In addition to the tequila distilleries, the Guachimontones Pyramids tell the story of Native people who treasured the agave plant for thousands of years. The 16th-century Spanish haciendas have been converted into boutique hotels that exude rustic charm.

I highly recommend visiting the small towns that ring the Tequila Volcano if you want to get to know the authentic side of Mexico

My personal feeling is that the best option for Tequila is a self-guided tour renting a car , making your own reservations, and spending a week ‘puebleando’ hopping from one town to another visiting cult-favorite distilleries and staying in historic haciendas . There are some real luxury experiences to be found.

The Best Tequila Tours from Guadalajara

I want to help you have a good time in Tequila finding a unique experience for your preferred style of travel.

There are a lot of different experiences to be found along the Ruta del Tequila. Some people are going to want to visit the best tequila brands using artisanal processes . Other people might be more interested in the scenic background for some Instagram reels. My mom was more interested in visiting Chapala than Tequila but ended up enjoying both.

Not everyone has the time or the desire to drive around the backcountry of Jalisco or take public buses after a long day of drinking. These day trips leave from Guadalajara and handle all of the transportation. Most of them offer hotel pickup and will return you back where you started.

1. The Agave Experience Premium Tequila Tour from Guadalajara

Small Group ⭐️  RATING:  4.92/5 Stars |   TOUR LENGTH:  8-10 hours |   BOOK NOW Private Tour Group ⭐️  RATING:  5.0/5 Stars |   TOUR LENGTH:  8-10 hours |   BOOK NOW

The Agave Experience organizes professional-level tours of agave-producing regions of Mexico. These experiences bridge the gap between beverage and culture, offering unrivaled access to the people and regions that gave rise to tequila and mezcal.

The tour guides are some of the most educated agave enthusiasts in Mexico. Many of them have master’s degrees in tequila from the Universidad Autónoma de Guadalajara and are passionate about the topic.

This is one of the highest-rated tequila tours from Guadalajara on the market. They offer both small group tours and private tours handling all the transportation.

The tour guides at Agave Experience know all the secret spots so you can reserve a private tour and select which distilleries, pyramids, and cantaritos. Somebody else might want to see a hacienda, the Juan Beckman Gallardo Cultural Center, and the particular distillery.

The right guide makes all the difference.

You will visit two tequila distilleries, the agave fields, El Arenal, Amatitán, and Tequila.

• Tequila tasting
• Expert descriptions

In addition to tequila tours from Guadalajara, there are also raicilla tours from Puerto Vallarta and mezcal tours from Oaxaca.

These tours are a good option for hospitality industry professionals with a cursory understanding of the agave spirits industry. They will trace the industry’s current state back to the origins of early Mexico.

2. The Fire Tour: Tequila and Guachimontones in One Day

⭐️  RATING:  4.92/5 Stars |   TOUR LENGTH:  8-10 hours |   BOOK NOW

If you only have one day for a tequila tour from Guadalajara then this is the tour to take. It is the best of the Ruta del Tequila in one day and the most cultural tour on the list. It is a full-day tour because that van covers a lot of ground. Depending on traffic the tour lasts anywhere from 8 to 10 hours.

Visiting the pyramids gives historical context to the tequila beverage. The original people treasured the agave plant and used it to create a plethora of tools, crafts, and carbohydrates. Aguamiel was extracted from the live agaves while cooked agave hearts were eaten and fermented.

The tour guides are an encyclopedia about the history of the region and the beverage. They will pick you up from just about anywhere in Guadalajara and show you two different sides of the Tequila Volcano. The tour starts early at Guachimontones when the weather is still cool. It is a little walk up a hill to get to the pyramids.

After the pyramids, the van heads to the public market in Tequila which is a great option for lunch. Each person can choose regional specialties from a number of different restaurants and food stalls. This is not included in the price of the tour but the prices are affordable. Just outside the market is the main plaza of Tequila where small kiosks sell tequila cocktails called cantaritos.

It is just enough time to see some of Tequila’s main landmarks like the National Tequila Museum before taking off for the tequila distillery tour. The last stop before heading back to Guadalajara is the traditional hacienda-looking factory with beautiful gardens.

At the end of the tour returns to where you were picked up at your Guadalajara hotel or hostel.

3. Mickey Marentes Tequila Tours

Mickey Marentes is a legendary tour guide around the Tequila Valley. He provides luxury tours for the real tequila connoisseur who wants to explore all the different types of tequila focusing on additive-free and artisanal tequilas.

Mickey Marantes Tours Include:

• Hotel pickup transportation from Guadalajara
• Two tequila distillery tours
• A visit to the agave fields
• A Tour of Downtown Tequila
• Artisanal tequila tasting
• Alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks
• Lunch is included

The small group tour starts and ends in Guadalajara. He also offers a private tour that could arrange pickup anywhere in the Tequila Valley.

Both tours include round-trip transport from the city of Guadalajara to multiple distilleries, the enchanting town of Tequila, and photo stops to appreciate the agave landscape.

There are high-end tequila tastings and professional-level explanations of the tequila-making process. There are a number of variations in the fermentation process and distillation, and aging in different types of oak barrels.

4. José Cuervo Express Tequila Train

The Jose Cuervo Express is one of the most luxurious ways to experience Tequila. One of only three operating passenger trains in Mexico, the Jose Cuervo Express is a living piece of Mexico’s history.

Every one of the club cars has been immaculately restored and is a testament to old-world Mexico. Jose Cuervo is famous for selling tequila but also for creating the Mundo Cuervo tourist attraction evoking the soul of Mexico. They are masters of marketing and the imagery is something you will remember for a lifetime.

There are several ways to plan your trip on the Jose Cuervo Express. One direction will be on the train and the other direction will be on a bus that stops at the Jose Cuervo agave plantation for a harvesting demonstration. You can choose to take the train to Tequila in the morning and return on the bus or you can start with the bus and return on the train.

The tequila-tasting portion of the trip is on the train and some people may prefer to drink earlier in the morning or later in the afternoon. They offer a wide range of house-made tequilas.

The day trip also includes a tour of the Jose Cuervo Distillery, La Rojeña, the oldest distillery in the region.

Mundo Cuervo often reminds me of an amusement park for adults. A lot of thought has been given to every detail and there is more here than you can see in just one day.

No matter how many times you return to Tequila it is likely that you will find something new on the Mundo Cuervo campus like a beautiful garden, a museum, or even a concert venue.

The train offers several different packages with nicer club cars and a more expensive selection of tequilas. The tour needs to be booked in advance. During peak vacation time the train may be sold out for weeks in advance.

I recommend booking this tour directly on  their website  because there are more options to choose from.

• Train Station Address :  Av. Circunvalación Agustín Yáñez 11, Moderna, Guadalajara, Jalisco, Mexico
• Train Schedule : Saturdays at 9:00 AM

5. Camina GDL Tequila Full Experience

Camina GDL is one of the best tour operators in Guadalajara. They offer an excellent tour through the Tequila Valley visiting two different artisanal, additive-free distilleries.

The first distillery is set in the agave fields so you can see the harvest and learn about what makes the agave plant so special. They prepare and serve a rustic breakfast that is cooked over a bonfire which is followed by a tequila tasting.

The second distillery is in the heart of the Pueblo Mágico Tequila, Jalisco. It is one of the oldest tequila distilleries in Mexico. There is a beautiful tour that includes a three-course lunch and tequila tasting at a boutique hotel.

What the Camina GDL tequila tour includes:

• Transportation, snacks, Guide
• Entrance to the distillery
• Tasting of 8 types of tequilas
• Harvest and plant your own agave
• Breakfast and tequila tasting in the agave landscape
• Lunch 3 courses and a cocktail

The folks at Camina GDL are a lot of fun. They know Jalisco really well and want to share the absolute best of the region with you. I guarantee you are going to enjoy their tequila tour.

6. Full-Day Guided Tour to Amatitán & Tequila – The Most Affordable Tour.

One of the highest-rated and most affordable tours to Tequila and Amatitán. What I like about this trip is the inclusion of Amatitán in the itinerary. It is an authentic Mexican ranching town with a series of caves that are the perfect place to listen to local lore.

The Tres Mujeres tequila distillery is beautiful and Instagram friendly but they make just an ok tequila. Their liqueurs are very popular with people who do not like high-proof spirits.

One of the reasons that this tour is so affordable is that they do not offer hotel pickup. Everyone meets at the Glorieta Minerva and the bus leaves from there. There are a maximum of 38 people on the tour.

7. Tequila Distillery On The Way to Lake Chapala

Small Group ⭐️  RATING:  4.92/5 Stars |   TOUR LENGTH:  8-9 hours |   BOOK NOW

This isn’t my favorite tequila tour from Guadalajara. It is more of a Lake Chapala tour that happens to have a quick tequila tasting along the way.

The tour leaves from the Glorieta Minerva at 10:30 AM and heads for Lake Chapala. About halfway down the freeway to Chapala is the Vicente Fernandez Ranch and the Los Magos Tequila Distillery.

If you have been to one of the top tequila distilleries it might be a little bit of a letdown. If you are more interested in visiting the Lake Chapala area, a quick tequila tasting is always a great idea.

The tour stops in San Juan Cosalá, and Ajijic, and includes a quick ride on a catamaran.

8. Tequila Express Tour Bus

Not to be confused with the Jose Cuervo Express tequila train, the Tequila Express is a tour bus that provides round-trip transportation from the Camara de Comercio in Guadalajara to the Casa Sauza distillery in Tequila town.

There are several different packages depending on the food, beverage, and transportation style that you prefer. All the tours include a full-day tequila tour with a certified guide and a tour of the distillery and agave plantation.

Guests have plenty of free time to explore the magic village of tequila before heading back to Guadalajara.

Independent Tequila Distillery Tours

There are a couple of different experiences to be found in Tequila, Jalisco. A lot of people are in town to drink cheap tequila and get wasted. On the other hand, I want to promote the cultural side of Tequila. There is a lot of history and refined culinary experiences if you do a little bit of research.

The best tequila distillery tours do not offer walk-up service. Reservations must be made in advance. Travelers are responsible for their own transportation and hotel accommodations. This is the best way to experience not just the town of Tequila but the whole Tequila Valley.

I recommend visiting at least one artisanal tequila distillery. If you have spent your whole life drinking commercial tequila, the tequila that is made at Fortaleza and Cascahuin will change your life. I still remember when I tasted a true tequila for the first time. It is a big part of why I am writing all these articles. I love good tequila.

It is perfectly safe to rent a car in Guadalajara and drive out to the Tequila Valley. Discover Cars is the best place to rent a car because they source the car rental and the insurance policy from different partners. You can get a premium insurance policy for less by using Discover Cars.

9. Fortaleza Tequila Distillery

In my humble opinion, Tequila Fortaleza offers the most important distillery tour in Tequila, Jalisco. They are a boutique tequila producer making an old-fashioned product for aficionados.

The founder of Tequila Fortaleza comes from a long line of tequila makers that helped define the style of tequila and establish the regulatory counsel that protects tequila from cheap imitations. He is also at the forefront of the Renaissance in tequila making.

Fortaleza makes tequila using ancestral methods that are labor-intensive and time-consuming. They are going back to original production methods to make tequila like their grandparents used to drink before accountants and cost-cutting changed the recipes.

Tequila Fortaleza has created a boutique, distillery tour experience reminiscent of wine country. I highly recommend contacting them a week before your visit to see what they have available.

• Fortaleza Distillery Address : Calle Tabasco 153, Centro, Tequila, Jalisco
• Contact Information: Website Contact

10. Fabrica de Tequila El Cascahuín

Tequila Cascahuín is a small, independent distillery making some of the finest tequila in Jalisco. They are using old-school, artisanal methods of cooking, fermenting, and distilling. You should pick up a bottle of their high-proof tequila plata to bring back to the United States because you will not find it outside of Jalisco.

Before you visit one of the large, multinational distilleries you need to see how tequila was made in the old days. These guys are preserving the culture and traditions of a time long past.

• Cascahuin Distillery Address: Ferrocarril 140, San Juan de Dios, El Arenal, Jalisco
• Contact Information : Facebook

11. El Tequileño Distillery

El Tequileño was founded by Don Jorge Salles Cuervo in 1959. Yes, that Cuervo. They have a boutique hotel on the back of their property and a nice tour that can be combined with a tequila tasting and lunch.

• Tequileño Distillery Address : Calle Chiapas 51, Tequila, Jalisco
• Contact Information : Website Reservations

12. La Rojeña Distillery: Mundo Cuervo

When I was in high school I had a hand-me-down Jose Cuervo t-shirt that I adored. I think that everyone can agree that their marking department is one of the best in the world and they have the most famous tequila on the planet. The experiences that Jose Cuervo has created are some of the best things to do in Tequila, Jalisco.

As you would probably imagine, José Cuervo has a large footprint in Tequila. The Jose Cuervo La Rojeña distillery is the oldest distillery in Latin America with plenty of options for guided tours. In addition to the Jose Cuervo distillery, there are event spaces, hotels, restaurants, retail boutiques, and much more. The whole area surrounding the distillery is beautiful and very Instagram-friendly. They have done a good job preserving the colonial charm of rural Jalisco. Even if you don’t tour the Jose Cuervo factory you need to check out Mundo Cuervo.

• José Cuervo # 73, Centro, Tequila, Jalisco // Website

13. Casa Herradura

Doña Gabriela Pena Lozada 405, Hacienda San José del Refugio, Amatitán, Jalisco

One of the world’s most recognizable tequila brands also has a stunning hacienda tour. When it comes to big-name tequila brands there are a couple of options for touring distilleries. You can take the train in from Guadalajara or you drive in and just take the walking tour. There are a couple of different price points depending on the tequila tastings that you are interested in. Honestly, the expensive tasting doesn’t seem necessary because I am not that into the añejo and extra añejo tequilas that cost a ton of money.

Tours are in English and in Spanish but make sure to call ahead to get the schedule. Intermediate-level Spanish speakers will struggle to understand the technical vocabulary of the distillation process.

The Best Tequila Tastings in Guadalajara

Interestingly, it is more common to find classic cantinas that serve all the commercial tequilas and has a very small selection of artisanal tequilas from small distilleries. It is worth the effort to search out tequilas that are made without artificial flavoring and colorings.

Jalisco is the best place in the world to learn about the different types of tequila .

14. El Gallo Altanero

Calle Marsella 126, Colonia Lafayette, Guadalajara, Jalisco // Instagram

The first option is to make a reservation or head over to the Gallo Altanero tequila bar. They have one of the best agave programs in the world and host plenty of visiting bartenders learning about Jalisco’s historic agave culture.

Not only do they have an exceptional selection of different brands of tequilas but they know how to describe them and prepare them in cocktails. The Gallo Altanero was named one of the 50 best bars in North America in 2022 .

15. Mezonte: Destilados Mexicanos de Agave

Calle Argentina 299, Colonia Americana, Guadalajara, Jalisco // Instagram

In addition to learning about just tequila, there is a whole world of agave-based spirits out there. Mezonte Destilados de Agave has classes about the cultural significance of the agave to the Mexican people. Pedro Jiménez, the owner, is an expert and has set up an NGO that promotes, supports, and preserves the production and practices of traditional agave spirits. Mezonte is more of a classroom and reservations are recommended. He also owns a bar called Pare de Sufrir where you can taste a WIDE variety of agave spirits.

16. Agüita Agaveria

Calle Marsella 167, Colonia Lafayette, Guadalajara, Jalisco // Facebook

Agüita Agaveria is not focused specifically on tequila but on agave spirits in general. They have a fine selection of hard-to-find tequilas from small producers and a respectable cocktail program. This is an excellent place to go for a tequila tasting.

I have learned a lot about the geography of Jalisco from the tequila-producing pueblos. It is fun to plan tequila tours to the pueblos that make your favorite tequilas.

Tequila Tours FAQ

These are the most commonly asked questions that I see when people are planning a trip to Guadalajara and Tequila.

What is Tequila?

Tequila is Mexico’s national drink, but it is also the name of a volcano, a town, and even a region with 11 unique municipalities. Each municipality is a little town with cobblestone streets, a lot of charm, and hospitality. There are plenty of tequila distilleries throughout the region and many of these tours combine a distillery tour with some other cultural activity.

The beautiful blue agave fields are a designated Unesco world heritage site and a top destination in Mexico. The magical town of Tequila is the main attraction but there are a lot of different tours exploring Jalisco’s historic tequila culture.

How far is Tequila from Guadalajara?

The town of Tequila is located 65 km (40 miles) from downtown Guadalajara. The fastest way to get to Tequila from Guadalajara is the toll road which takes just over an hour.

The free road adds about 30 minutes to the drive but is more enjoyable because of the agave landscapes and pueblos along the way.

Stopping for tacos in Arenal or cocktails in Amatitan will be a highlight of the trip to Tequila.

Taking a bus or a train will be significantly slower than driving a car. 

When is the best time to visit Tequila?

The best time to visit Tequila is in the fall after the rains have stopped and the agave landscapes are a vivid shade of green. The temperatures are mild and there is a lot going on in the region including festivals and fairs.

Winter is enjoyable too and most Canadians will laugh at what the locals call cold.

Spring is the hottest time of year when it can be uncomfortable to be outside without a had in the middle of the day.

Summer is the rainy season when it rains for a little while most days in the afternoon.

Where to Stay in the Tequila Valley?

Most of these day trips to Tequila do not require an overnight stay. However, the Tequila Valley has some spectacular accommodations.

Best Hotels in Tequila, Jalisco

📍 Budget Option – Hotel La Rienda Misión Tequillan 📍 Mid-Range Option – Hotel Villa Tequila 📍 Luxury Option – Casa Salles Boutique Hotel 📍 Luxury Option – Hotel Solar de las Animas

Best Hotels in the Tequila Valley

My personal favorite is the Hacienda El Carmen boutique hotel. It is located on the other side of the Tequila Volcano right down the road from the Guachimontones archeological site. There is a tequila distillery on site and one of the most romantic hotels in Mexico.

📍 Luxury Option – Hacienda El Carmen Hotel & Spa

Is Tequila Safe?

Tequila, Jalisco is a very popular destination for international travelers. It is a pueblo mágico and a part of the UNESCO World Heritage program. There is a competent police force in the area and I can’t recall a major security issue that has made the international news.

The problem with safety in Tequila is alcohol-related. It is really easy to drink too much cheap or adulterated tequila and people can get out of control. Know your limits and know how to identify a bad situation.

Much like Napa Valley, Sundays are full of day trippers that should not be driving. Try to avoid being on the road on Sunday afternoon heading back to Guadalajara.

A Final Note On The Best Tequila Tours from Guadalajara

I hope you found something valuable in this article that helps you make the most out of your time in the Tequila Valley. Remember, Tequila is more than just one pueblo, it is the whole valley.

It wasn’t until I had been to Tequila three or four times before I found the activities that are really worth the trip. On my first couple of trips I thought the place was a big tourist trap.

Make a plan before you get there. If you wait until you get to Tequila you won’t get to see the best distillery tours or restaurants.

There are amazing experiences to be found in this part of Mexico if you are willing to look. A tequila tour from Guadalajara is a great way to find the best experiences. Go with a pro!

The Best Tequila Tours to Take in Tequila, Mexico

The charming, rustic town that lends its name to Mexico’s national drink has become a major tourist destination in the past decade. Tequila was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2006 and boasts a range of historic distilleries. Most of these are open to visitors, and we would highly recommend taking a guided tour if you visit the picturesque town.

Jose cuervo express.

The most famous tequila tour is without a doubt the Jose Cuervo Express , which leaves every Saturday at 9.00 or 9.30 a.m. from Guadalajara. After a scenic, hour-long trip in a mock-19th-century railcar, guests are welcomed at Jose Cuervo’s La Rojeña Distillery , which is the oldest in Latin America. Visitors are guided from the brick ovens where the agave is cooked right up to the oak barrels of the aging cellars. They are also given plenty of tequila shots along the way.

Experience Tequila

For serious or aspiring tequila connoisseurs, Experience Tequila is without doubt the best option. The specialist company offers a range of tours that are designed to deepen your understanding of tequila culture and its history. The guided tours offer an opportunity to experience the village and tradition behind the beloved spirit. Tour guides will take you through the entire production process, from the iconic blue agave fields to the elegant tasting rooms of some of the finest tequilas in the world. Experience Tequila offers four-day tequila tour packages, single day tours or custom tours tailored to your own preferences.

Cofradía Turistico 360

The hands-on tours offered by Hacienda La Cofradía are particularly memorable, giving guests the opportunity to explore the distillery, watch and learn from a jimador – or tequila farmer – and even unleash your creative side by decorating your own bottle in the ceramics factory. The hacienda also boasts a unique boutique hotel, Matices de Barricas, which has spacious rooms shaped like the oak barrels used to age tequila.

Tequila Adventure

If downing tequila shots is not enough of a thrill, Tequila Adventure offers more action-packed activities. For under 800 pesos ($44), you can arrange to rappel down a waterfall or ride a horse through an agave field . The company also offers a guided tour of Los Azules Waterfall, a tour of the Rubio Distillery and a workshop where you make your own agave paper. An excellent option for visitors looking for something a little more unique and unusual.

Tour Tequila Orendain

For travelers on a budget, the Casa Orendain tequila company offers a tour of their distillery La Mexicana for only 195 pesos ($10.40). Less well-known than Jose Cuervo, Orendain is a family-owned Tequila group that was founded in 1926. The company now produces 10 different brands of tequila, and has collected various awards at international events. The tour provides a close-up look at Casa Orendain’s production process, as well as an opportunity to sample freshly distilled tequila, cooked agave and a few aged tequila shots.

90 reviews for Tequila Tour in the Mayan Jungle

Katie – May 19, 2024

Arturo was an incredibly amazing guide! 10/10 recommend

Robert – April 30, 2024

Our guide Arturo was particularly nice. He was able to describe and show us lots of great things in the cenote. The tequila tasting was particularly good. Very informative and we had a lot of fun. Thank you very much. We would love to go again. An absolute recommendation.

Nicole – April 29, 2024

Very responsive to my multiple questions I had in the days before the tour. Everything was exactly as advertised. I highly recommend this company.

Adrianna – April 29, 2024

Incredible experience! Arturo was our tour guide and he made the experience unforgettable! He gave us different options for Cenotes and made tequila tasting fun! They were on time, organized, and knowledgeable.

Jacqueline – April 23, 2024

Tequila tasting and Myan Ruins- Party of 24 Absolutely a great experience! I had a large group of 24. Our tour guide, Arturo, and drivers picked us up at the hotel. The tour through the Mayan Ruins in Tulum was great. Arturo was very knowledgeable. The lunch that was provided after was delicious. Orders were taken before we left the ruins, so we didn’t wait long to eat. The tequila tasting was so much fun.

LT21 – April 21, 2024

Absolutely incredible tour. Our group of 24 was led by Arturo through Tulum’s Mayan ruins before we had lunch and tasted tequilas. Arturo was extremely knowledgeable about the history of the ruins and the peoples who lived there. Definitely would do another tour with him.

Tom – April 19, 2024

Great experience. We were shown round a cenote and got to snorkel in it. The tequila tasting was also brilliant and our guide Artolo was incredibly knowledgable. We got to taste some great tequilas. We cannot say enough how incredible Artolo was as our guide for the day. He made the trip even better.

Trey S – April 14, 2024

I recently went to Tulum to celebrate some family members’ birthdays. Our group was composed of people from the age of 30 to 72 years old. Our tour guide was great! Everyone enjoyed the snorkeling and the tequila tasting. The restaurant that the tour guide took us to had amazing drinks but the food could’ve been better. However, we went primarily for the snorkeling and tequila tasting (we stayed at an all inclusive so food wasn’t that important to us). As a result, I would highly recommend this tour and business!

John – March 29, 2024

Tulum and Tequila tour Before I discuss the tour, I have to say that the managers are very quick to respond to emails and all my questions. This made me feel more comfortable going with them. My wife and I did the Tulum tour with tequila testing. Our driver (Omar) and tour guide (Arturo) were on time at our resort. They are cery friendly and offered waters before we started. The drive to Tulum was about 1 hour. Omar is a very safe driver. We were literally the first ones to Tulum. This provided a great time to gets pics without other people in our photos. Avoided the heat as well. Arturo is very knowledgeable of the history. He took his time and did not rush us. He brought additional material to help explain the history of the mayan culture. Tulum is beautiful. Afterwards we went to lunch at a remote restaurant in the Dos Ojos park. After lunch we did the Mezcal and Tequila tasting. We enjoyed hearing the differences and being able to sample Tequila which is hard to find. We took naps in the way back as Omar drove. Overall a very pleasant day.

Clemens – February 29, 2024

A truly unique experience! Looking at all the 5 Star reviews of Absolute Adventure Mexico it is difficult to add something new….other than to confirm previous 5 Star reviews. The company provided excellent service and immediate response from booking to the day of the tour. They used WhatsApp to stay in touch and response was always within minutes, sometimes immediate. Very impressive. The actual private tour was a fantastic experience. We were lucky to have Omar as a very safe driver and Arturo as a very knowledgeable and well prepared guide throughout the excursion. Arturo provided deep insights into the history of Tulum and the Mayan people in Yucatan and Central America. He was also the Tequila sommelier during the tasting experience. The choice of location was unique and away from the main tourist flows. It was clearly more than we expected and it is good to know that such great service still exists. They genuinely cared for us as their customers and that’s something rare these days. Bravo!

Karen – February 5, 2024

We took a private tour of Cenotes & tequila tasting. Had a great time. Our guide, Arturo, was awesome. He helped me overcome my fears & I got to experience things I never thought I could. My husband loved the tequila tasting. Got to try brands he never would have before. It was fun, educational & relaxed. We never felt rushed. Can’t recommend this group highly enough

Jen – February 3, 2024

Our tequila tour with Chris was exceptional! From the Tulum ruins to the tequila tasting, every moment was filled with knowledge and fun. Highly recommended!

Redpenk – January 16, 2024

Swim in a Cenote and Learn about Tequila We booked a cenote tour and tequila tasting with Absolute Adventures, and had a wonderful time! The entire staff is made up of consummate professionals, from the booking person, to the driver, to Arturo, our guide. They were all great, and so was the tour! The four of us had an awesome time snorkeling in a cenote, and we all left with much more knowledge about tequila than when we arrived! Awesome day all around, and would definitely recommend.

Shaun – January 11, 2024

We did the Cenote Tequila tour with Arturo. Our tour was phenomenal thanks to his expertise and upbeat attitude. Seriously, book with Arturo – you won’t regret it!

Alexis – January 11, 2024

Arturo was absolutely incredible! It was amazing that we could choose our own cenote and the private tour experience was just the best. We started our day with a private hotel, pick up where we decided which cenote we wanted to explore. After an amazing time swimming with a private snorkeling guide, Arturo, we had some free time before we headed over to our tequila tasting and lunch. The different types of tequila and Arturo is knowledge about the tequila was very impressive and I definitely found a newfound love and appreciation for tequila. I’ll highly recommend booking directly with them instead of through a third-party site as we found it to be a better price. I would definitely book with this group again and again specifically the private tours as it was one of the highlights of our trip.

Rose – December 12, 2023

Our tour of Tulum with Arturo was absolutely AMAZING! I can’t say enough great things about Arturo – he’s hands down the best tour guide we could have asked for.

Jack – December 4, 2023

My wife and I did the 1 cenoté tour and tequila tasting on our honeymoon and had a blast! I would recommend this for true lovers of tequila and mezcal, as we got to try many different delicious flavors. ¡Muy delicioso!

Scott – November 13, 2023

Excellent hosts and trip. Cenote was nice. Food and tequila were great. Highly recommend Absolute Adventure Mexico!

GreenMile77 – November 10, 2023

A piece of history Very informative. If you like tequila definitely have a different perspective. Beautiful views of the Maya ruins take lots of photos

Beem03 – November 3, 2023

Beautiful experience 🙂 Our tour with Arturo was perfect! He’s witty, knowledgeable and great to chat with. It was mine and my partner’s fourth anniversary and despite the rain, swimming in the cenote was so beautiful and relaxing. We enjoyed every minute spent there. The lunch afterwards was authentic and delicious. Tequila tasting was a lot of fun and tasty as well. A perfect experience!

Francesca – September 13, 2023

The best tour !! We traveled as a bachelorette party and had the best day! Arturo was an amazing tour guide and took us to a beautiful cenote. Gave us history about the area and was very knowledgeable. Him and his assistant also set up an incredible lunch & tequila tasting. Super fun & delicious. Would definitely recommend !!

JF – September 5, 2023

The Tequila Tour in the Mayan Jungle adventure was amazing from the start & we never wanted it to end! We were so lucky to have our guide, Arturo. He was the kindest person & made sure we had an amazing time. We swam in the most beautiful cenote, had delicious food at Jaunita’s, tried the best tequilas, and enjoyed a scenery that was beyond expectation. I would do it all again in a heartbeat! LOVED this experience, 10 out of 10, 5 stars, would recommend 100%!

Zach – August 13, 2023

Tequila Tasting w/ Cenote. Arturo, our guide, took us to Nicte-Ha to swim and then to an amazing authentic Mexican restaurant where we tasted some amazing tequila as well. 10/10 would recommend booking with Absolute Adventure and especially Arturo!

Avery – August 13, 2023

Amazing!! Arturo was amazing!! We took our time and saw beautiful waters and had amazing food and new tequilas. Thank you!

Lana – August 12, 2023

100 out of 10! Arturo was our tour guide and Rodrigo was our driver. Not only was the driver very safe in transporting us about 1.5 hours from our resort to the cenotes, but the Arturo was an absolute trip! He was so informative and very easy to get along with. He was probably the best tour guide we have had and we made some unforgettable memories together as a family sand him leading us on our tour. Huge huge thank you to them both!

Jason – August 12, 2023

Great private trip . We did Dos Ojos Centos and the tequila tasting. Great experience. Showed up on time. Arturo was a great guide. Will love to see other places !

Roebie – July 25, 2023

Super recommended! The whole day was a great experience with beautiful views and a great lunch. Arturo was an amazing guide and made us feel very comfortable! We opted for an early pick up time which was well worth it since we were the first ones at the cenote.

This tour was one of the highlights of my trip to Tulum. The tour guide, Arturo, was more than helpful and very informative! As someone who lives in Mexico, this is perfect for locals and visitors alike. I enjoyed it to the maximum!

SG – June 25, 2023

This whole tour and our guide Arturo were amazing!!!! we did the private cenotes tour and tequila tasting. The cenote (we went to Niche Ha in Dos Ojos) was so insanely beautiful and Arturo did an amazing job of explaining everything to us, swimming around with us and taking as many photos of us as we wanted and generally being really patient with us. Afterwards we drove 5 mins to a gorgeous table for our lunch and tequila tasting that Arturo explained to us was a restaurant and a venue. He explained all the tequilas to us and we learned a lot. 10/10 recommend!!!! There wasn’t a moment that I didn’t feel safe or properly taken care of!

Jaeson – June 24, 2023

Such a great experience! Our guide was so knowledgeable and friendly. Highly recommended!

Definitely recommend and will come back! 🙂

Justin – May 27, 2023

I recently had the pleasure of going on two incredible trips with Absolute Adventure, and I cannot recommend them highly enough. Our tour guide, Arturo, was absolutely exceptional, and he made our experiences truly unforgettable. Arturo’s extensive knowledge and passion for history brought the ancient Mayan civilization to life. Exploring the ruins was like stepping back in time, and Arturo’s storytelling made it even more captivating. After our exploration, we were treated to a delightful tequila tasting, where we learned about the different types of tequila and savored the distinct flavors. It was a perfect combination of cultural immersion and indulgence. Throughout both trips, Arturo’s professionalism, enthusiasm, and genuine love for what he does were evident. His ability to connect with the group and create a warm and welcoming atmosphere enhanced our overall experience. He was always willing to answer our questions, share fascinating stories, and ensure that everyone was comfortable and having a great time.

Michelle – May 27, 2023

We did the private tour of Tulum with lunch and a tequila tasting after. I cannot recommend this enough and I do NOT like tequila. We did this tour for my sister bc its her bday weekend and she loves tequila. I have no love for tequila, but Arturo, our guide, was fabulous. Not only did he know everything about Tulum and the Mayan culture, he was extremely knowledgeable about tequila as well. Honestly, he MADE the tour. He was , hands down, one of the best tour guides I have had.

ashley – May 19, 2023

BEST SNORKELING CENOTE AND TEQUILA TOUR IN TULUM We did the private cenote snorkeling tour and tequila tasting tour with Arturo & it was THE MOST incredible experience! We had a large bachelorette group and could not have asked for a better afternoon – we learned so much about tequila, had a gorgeous tour snorkeling inside the caves and a delicious lunch to top it all off. Arturo is an awesome guide and we couldn’t thank his whole team enough for an unforgettable experience! If you are debating booking a tour with this company, you won’t regret it!!!

Sydney – May 7, 2023

Best tour, tour Guide in playa del carmen! One of the best guides and drivers who made the cenote experience worth the time spent. Arturo our guide was extremely knowledgeable, articulate, considerate and inclusive in making sure everyone gets to feel the same way he feels when going through dos ojos cenote. More importantly kept everyone safe, did not rush to complete the tour. 5 star ⭐️ for sure. Plus the lunch and 6 rounds of tequila (tequila tasting) was part of the pack. You leave with a better understanding of both the cenote’s their impact to the environment. While having a good time with friends knowing more about tequila

Julius – May 6, 2023

Amazing private Tour with Arturo!! Very amazing, knowledgeable, and laid back. Just how we like any vacation tour.

No trip to Mexico would be complete without sampling the country’s famous spirits. You’ve got a few options for Puerto Vallarta tequila tours, where you’ll also get to try mezcal and racilla.

Not sure what the difference is between the three? No worries; at the end of this post, you can read more about this. But the best way to learn is in person on one of these Tequila tours in Puerto Vallarta.

Top Tequila Tours in Puerto Vallarta

While choosing your own adventure is possible (check our post about the best bars in Puerto Vallarta ), it’s more fun with a group and a knowledgeable local guide.

We’ve done plenty of, let’s call it “research,” and these are the best options for Puerto Vallarta tequila tours.

1. Connoisseur Tequila Tasting

Life is better with options, and you’ve got three of them on this tour . You can choose between the introduction, connoisseur, or mezcal option. My personal recommendation is the latter, as it’s fun to try both of the agave spirits.

What a cool experience. The tasting room is in an up-and-coming neighborhood, Versailles, tucked among a bunch of great restaurants, but the true highlight here is the tequila and the instruction about it. Tequila has a fascinating story, more akin to wine than many spirits and it was absolutely worth learning about (and enjoying)! – Review by Justin ( read more reviews )

This tour takes place in Versalles , which is one of the top neighborhoods in PV.

It’s a foodie haven as well, so you might as well grab a bite to eat while you’re there. Some of my favorite spots include Lamara for ceviche, Budaixi for dumplings and noodles, and El Tío Toño for birria.

2. Vallarta Botanical Garden and Tequila Tasting

This highly-rated tour takes you to the lovely Vallarta Botanical Garden first. It recently won the American Public Gardens Association’s 2022 Garden of Excellence Award, and deservedly so. This is one of our favorite places to visit in PV, and it should definitely be on your itinerary.

After touring the garden, you’ll get to head to Rancho Los Veranos to learn all about the process of making tequila as you sample the famous spirit. It’s also possible to order lunch here, but just be aware that it is not included in the tour. Either way, I’d advise eating a big breakfast before going on this tour.

We had a wonderful experience on this tour! The tour guide was authentic and professional. The history shared was so informative and full of pride. The Garden was magical and mystical. The tequila tasting was so fun and the prices for the bottles to buy were half the price of some of the local liquor stores down town!! My husband and I are tequila enthusiasts so we really appreciated the quality of the tequila!! Highly recommended!! – Kenneth ( see more reviews here) .

3. Noble Corazon

Of all the Puerto Vallarta tastings out there, this has to be my fave. And it’s not just because my picture is all over their website. We were not just hamming it up for the camera when we were there – it really was an awesome experience.

You can book their classic tequila tasting at Casa Agavera Vallarta in the 5 de Diciembre neighborhood. Their experts will teach you about the distilling process as you sip on their excellent tequila, mezcal, and racilla.

It’s also possible to book a private tour at your place. If you have an Airbnb with a group, this should definitely be added to your PV itinerary.

4. City Tour with Tequila and Coffee Tasting

This tour checks a lot of the boxes for top things to do in Puerto Vallarta. You’ll get to stroll the famous Malecon, see the iconic Church of Our Lady of Guadalupe, visit a Tequila distillery, and check out a local coffee factory.

There’s also an option to add lunch for this tour. It seems like the food is more expensive if you order it while on the tour, so you may want to add it in advance.

The tour was really fun. Went with my wife and we really enjoyed ourselves. Especially at the tequila tasting. The guide was really nice, knowledgeable and really helped in making sure the entire group had a good time. Doesn’t matter what age you are, because by the end of the tequila tasting you’ll be having a good time. I highly recommend that people book this activity when coming to Puerto Vallarta. – GetYourGuide (read more reviews here).

Tours that visit Tequila (the town)

Most of these tours happen in and around PV, but it’s also possible to travel to the town of Tequila itself. That’s right – there’s an actual town called Tequila! It’s in the state of Jalisco, and it’s the birthplace of the famous spirit.

5. Toriles and Tequila Day Trip

Make sure you rest up before this Tequila tour , as it’s a big one. This 12-hour excursion takes you to Aztec ruins in the town of Toriles as well as the birthplace of tequila itself.

Walk through the agave fields and visit a distillery as you learn all about the process of making tequila. The tour also includes a hearty breakfast, so you’ll be nice and full before the tequila tasting.

It’s a long drive, but the town of Tequila was all I expected. Wish we could have stayed longer, but soaked in all we could. Thank you Thomas! – Thomas ( read more reviews here)

Tequila is about a four-hour drive from Puerto Vallarta, so it does make for a long day if you’re doing it round-trip. If you want to visit Tequila and have the time, I recommend planning a weekend trip to Guadalajara and visiting Tequila from there, as it’s much closer.

Different Types of Mexican Liquor

Tequila and mezcal both come from the agave plant. The difference is that tequila can only be made from blue agave , while mezcal can be made from many types of agave.

Basically, tequila is a type of mezcal, just like bourbon is a type of whiskey. While they are both made from agave, they taste quite different. Many describe mezcal as having a smokey taste. Since it can be made from many agave types, the taste can vary quite a bit.

There are different types of tequila and mezcal based on how long they are aged. For tequila, these are blanco (0-2 months), reposado (2-12 months), and añejo (1-3 years).

Meanwhile, for mezcal, you have joven (0-2 months), reposado (2-12 months), and añejo (at least one year).

They all have different colors and tastes, so you may want to try them all to find out which type you prefer. That’s where these awesome Puerto Vallarta tequila tours come in handy! 

But how about that other Mexican spirit? You might have never heard of racilla, but it’s an important part of the local culture here in Puerto Vallarta. That’s because it is only made right here in the state of Jalisco. 

Racilla is also made from the agave plant, but the process differs. This results in a unique taste that’s nothing like tequila or mezcal. It’s still somewhat of an underground phenomenon, and it’s possible to buy bootleg racilla from unmarked plastic bottles.

If you’re not into that, never fear – you can sample it on some of these tequila tours.

That does it for this rundown of the best Puerto Vallarta tequila tours.

Whatever option you choose, remember to pace yourself. Do you know that saying “one tequila, two tequila, three tequila, floor?” It exists for a reason. Be sure to stay hydrated and don’t drink on an empty stomach.

We learned that lesson the hard way and always order some food when we imbibe in tequila, so learn from our past mistakes and eat some tacos!
