When you do the math ( exchange rate) and the cost in the states for a bottle of tequila, it will be $10-15 less. It also helps if you are further south in Mexico, the prices are better!

We visited Fortaleza Tequila during their annual renovation, so unfortunately much of the property…read morewas closed and we were a bit limited in what we could see. That said, even with those constraints, it was still a very cool and worthwhile experience. The tequila itself is absolutely delicious -- truly top-tier. The tasting pours were generous (definitely heavy-handed in the best way), which made it easy to fully appreciate the craftsmanship and complexity behind each expression. You can immediately tell how much care and tradition goes into their process. What was open gave us a glimpse into the fascinating history of Fortaleza, and the staff did a great job sharing the story behind the brand. The campus itself is beautiful, serene, and clearly special -- even partially closed, it left a strong impression and made us want to come back when everything is fully accessible. All in all, while the timing wasn't ideal, the quality of the tequila and the experience still shined through. This is a must-visit for tequila lovers, and we'll absolutely be back to see it in full once renovations are complete. See you soon, Fortaleza.

So that's how artisanal, small-batch tequila is made! Our three-hour tour of the Fortaleza…read moredistillery covered tequila making from soup to nuts, or--more accurately--from agave plant to bottled elixir! Guide Kim provided a fascinating, lively narrative throughout our visit. We started with a wonderful hike through the estate with Kim describing the cultivation of agave, the propagation of the plant and the critical role of jimadors. Our group got a closeup view of the extraction of juice from the cooked agave piñas and the bottling process--a mere six at a time! I now understand why Fortaleza is nearly impossible to find in our hometown of Chicago. Shout-out to Chris at the Map Room who encouraged us to book this tour! No tour is complete without a tasting; ours was held within Cava La Fortaleza, a hand-hewn cave equipped with a bar and tables. Without much fuss--unlike other distilleries--Kim guided us through samples of Fortaleza's blanco, reposado and anejo tequilas. Delicioso!

There are a couple Nuestros Dulces in town and one is the tequila shop with sweets, the other is a…read moresweets shop only. I've been to both and would rate them highly. The tequila shop on the corner is MIND BLOWING - they have hundreds of bottles, maybe thousands? I picked up a few hard-to-find tequilas and agave distillates. Prices seemed reasonable enough. The candy shop (down the street a bit, opposite side) is nice too and I purchased a small sampling of Mexican chocolates to bring home to my non-tequila sipping compadres. Nuestros Dulces seems like well-run, local shops with good selections. 5 stars
