Excellent tequilera, nothing like a white ollitas - Excellent treatment from Guide. We took the tasting tour and it was an exclusive Guide. Amen and connoisseur. Tasting of the three types of tequila. Well worth the price

Great Tequila tasting at Orendain! - We came to visit our family in Guadalajara last month and they took us for the first time to Tequila, Jalisco. We were invited to La Mexicana Tequila Orendain for a tour and to taste their wonderful products. We were received by an enthusiastic guide who was very knowledgeable of the distillation process and tequila. He gave us a fantastic tour of their grounds, we were able to see the manufacturing process, we learned about the blue agave, and the difference with the type of agave used in the fabrication of mezcal. They only thing I wish I would have seen was the Jimadores working on the plants. Then we went into a private room to taste the three types they have Blanco, Reposado, and Añejo. There is a lot to it, more than you might think… Here in the USA tequila is drunk as shots, but there is a science to it. There are different kinds of tequila, distillation methods, and food pairings that are appropriate for different occasions. First of all, the tequila was served in a flute glass, and it is supposed to be tasted in sips (Kiss the tequila). After the tasting we were treated to a ‘Jarrita’, which is a cold cocktail made with Tequila which was delicious and tasty. I recommend to anyone who visits Jalisco to stop by La Mexicana, you will not regret it.

Take a walk to a great tour! - We were just walking around Tequila after lunch and saw the Orendain store. Went in and asked about a tour. He told us where the distillery was and walked to it (15 minute walk from the plaza). Marcos was our tour guide. He was MARVELOUS! We saw the process of how the tequila was prepared (which we sorta knew from all the other plants) but we were more able to get up close and personal to the fermentation vats. I was disappointed they wouldn't let me jump in for a swim but such is life. ;) Truthfully, prior to seeing the store, I'm not sure we really had known about Orendain. But with the tasting session we had, last of the day so Marcos spent more time with us, we found that we enjoyed it and of course, bought some. Well worth the time!

Orendain Tequila Tour - Our tour began near the plaza. They drive you around in a big, almost open bus-type vehicle through the town to get to the distillery. The guide spoke good English which was good as there were 16 people on the tour and 10 were Canadian and 4 were from the US. The tour was complete through the distillery starting with the agave hearts and klns to the stills and bottling. At the end there is a tasting of the various tequilas from new to the most aged. It was a good tour.

An experience to know a little about how to make a tequila, with the plus of the tasting... - Obviously there are many tours of the different tequila shops in El pueblo de Tequila, this is simply the one we take and the very interesting truth as they show you the process of making, and of course the tasting of various types of tequila and in the end you can buy the whole range from the cheapest to the special editions. Tour highly recommended.

Great Tasting Experience - We paid extra directly to the distillery for their tasting experience; which was excellent. Why this was not offered on your website is a mystery to me. Their tasting made this tour top notch. Great tequila.

Orendain Tequila - Very interesting, it was worth knowing the Production process and visiting the facilities. The staff was extremely friendly.

Very nice tour of a very clean and well run operation. Tour staff was great and extremely accommodating. - This was a very nice tour in a very clean and well run operation. The staff was great. I found myself comparing this tour with other companies that had shared rich histories and a more personal story to tell. I had a perfectly pleasant time and I wished there was more shared about the people behind the distillery. I would have otherwise given the experience a five stars

Not very very, not so so. - The place is nice and the explanation is well given, but the ending is very poorly planned and did not meet the expectations that were generated when they promoted the Tour to us.

Mediocre at best - Tour was ok. Interesting to hear about the process albeit it’s a simple one. Tasting was simply that... tasting a few tequila’s. No taste notes or flavours to look for. Guide had no knowledge on why certain tequila’s were better than others or tasted different. Price online was a rip off compared to prices that could be paid on the day or at different distilleries. £4/5 on the day compared to £16 online
