Valley of Tequila Day Tour

Our Guadalajara-based Valley of Tequila day tour is a fun, educational, single-day experience designed for travelers visiting Guadalajara who are intrigued by tequila.

Working with local providers in Guadalajara and Tequila, we ensure that the standards of these guides are as high as our own.

We visit lesser-known tequila distilleries that are 100% independent, Mexican-owned, and cultivate a love for the land and a pride for their craft. You will leave with a new appreciation for the hard work of these tequila producers and the excellence of their products.

*MAKE IT PRIVATE: We also offer this as a private experience, for those who want more flexibility and individualized attention.

TOUR HIGHLIGHTS

Two Tequila Distillery Visits and Tastings

Typical destinations include Tequila Marengo (NOM 1560), Cava de Oro / Amatiteña (NOM 1477), and (in the private version of the tour),  Casacahuín (NOM 1123).

Lunch in the Tequila Village Market

Doña Cristi serves up regional favorites like tortas ahogadas, birria, carne en su jugo, as well as enchiladas, tacos, and sopes—with hand-made tortillas and fresh salsa and guacamole.

Walking Tour of Tequila Town Center

The tour includes the iconic Santiago Apóstol church (built in 1649), atrium, and the main plaza.

Classic Regional Tequila Cocktails

The cantarito — tequila, grapefruit, orange, lime, and rock salt in a clay mug — is the Valley’s signature cocktail. Your first one is on us!

Tour FAQs

Private day tour guests will be picked up at 10:00am. We begin picking up public day tour guests at 9:00am, and continue to pick up guests as we head towards the highway to Tequila. Please be ready by 9:00am, but understand that it may be closer to 10:00am if you are one of the last guests to be picked up. Please bear in mind that Guadalajara is a rapidly growing city of over five million people, with serious traffic problems. We appreciate your patience and understanding.

Public day tours typically visit the Tequila Marengo (NOM 1560) and Cava de Oro / Amatiteña (NOM 1477) distilleries. Private day tours typically visit Casacahuín (NOM 1123) and one other. For other distilleries, please see our Custom Experiences page.

  • No better way to experience the tequila industry. We tasted incredible tequilas, saw first-hand how tequila is made, learned about the local culture, ate amazing food and walked multiple distilleries with the owners themselves. Unbelievable experience.
