Mexico’s Best Destinations for Tequila Drinkers

For tequila lovers, Mexico has a route of destinations in the state of Jalisco, where they can learn the manufacturing process and the new trends with which this traditional drink can be combined.

The adventure begins in Guadalajara, the capital of the state of Jalisco, the world's largest tequila producer. From here, fans of the iconic Mexican drink have the option of boarding trains that take them directly to the factories of two of tequila's most important manufacturing companies.

Aboard the Jose Cuervo Express, passengers admire the extensive agave crops that paint the countryside blue. This plant is the raw material for the production of tequila, a product that is a huge part of Mexico's cultural heritage and that, throughout history, has been positioned among the favorite drinks worldwide.

The tour of the Hacienda begins in the Lemon Garden. It continues through Plaza Juan Soriano, the Tasting Rooms, and along the industrial facilities, where visitors learn about the distillation processes once the plants arrive directly from the field.

Perseverancia, the manufacturer of Tequila Sauza, is another location ideal for tequila lovers. Tours include a trip to La Constancia, the shop where the plant ripens, a walk through the distillery, and a visit to the Casona de la Quinta Sauza. After that, visitors are asked to prepare their drink in the fabulous Jardin Quinta Sauza, and the tour ends in the shop Los Recuerdos de Sauza.
