Discovering the secrets of tequila - 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.

Amazing time on Luxury Tequila Tour - We had an amazing time on a 4-day private tequila tour hosted by The Agave Experience. From start to finish, everything was thoughtfully planned and executed, making it both seamless and unforgettable. Our guide, Andie, was truly fabulous. Her knowledge, warmth, and attention to detail elevated the entire experience. She went above and beyond to ensure we had a wonderful time, tailoring the day to our interests and making every stop feel special. One of the most memorable touches was when she surprised my husband with his favorite dessert for his birthday—such a thoughtful and personal gesture that meant so much to us. If you’re looking for a unique, personalized, and a top-notch tequila tour, we can’t recommend The Agave Experience highly enough. Ask for Andie -- you'll be well taken care of!

All we could have asked from a tequila tour - We lucked out with this tour as it was just the guide (Andie) leading my partner and me, but she really did go above and beyond with her insightful knowledge and perfect planning of the day.

Amazing Tour! HIGHLY recommend! - Andrea/Andie was an amazing tour guide! I HIGHLY recommend. She is super knowledgeable, patient and helpful. There are other more “commercial” tour options however this one give you such an authentic experience and great value. We were a small tour of three people and she gave us so much insight. She was flexible to our needs and request. We started the day by getting breakfast at a local spot and the tacos were amazing, everyone was super friendly. Then we tour two distilleries that are owned and operated in Mexico which gave us a great unique experience. The tequilas were so good! Then later we went to the town of Tequila, explored the area and at food. Then on the way back stopped by an agave field for some photos.

An absolute must in Tequila region! - A fabulous tequila tour with Andie & Jorge! We chose The Agave Experience as our tour provider after seeing many other positive reviews and safe to say, it did not disappoint! A well paced tour (not rushed at all) that provides a diverse range of tequila tastings, guided tours and opportunity for Mexican food/additional drink options. Ended the day with a new found love of tequila and appreciation for the culture at Cantaritos #1! Definitely recommend.

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