CSSA Tour with Nay…read more We had a wonderful experience with Nay as our tour guide at CSSA! She was fantastic, especially considering she was guiding a group of 11 people. She was patient, friendly, knowledgeable, and kept everything moving while still making sure we were enjoying ourselves. The tour was very informative. We learned so much about the process of making mezcal and tequila, starting out in the agave fields and seeing the workers in action, then following the process all the way through the distillery. It was fascinating to see how much work and tradition goes into every bottle. And, of course, there were plenty of tastings! Let's just say our group had a very good time with that part of the tour too. The setting itself was beautiful. We met at the hacienda, surrounded by lush greenery, plants, and lovely gardens. The whole environment felt welcoming, relaxed, and safe. Our entire group really enjoyed the experience, and Nay made it even better with her warmth and patience. If you're looking for a fun and informative way to learn about tequila and mezcal, I would definitely recommend this tour with Nay!

Whether you are a tequila/mezcal scholar or brand new, Mickey weaves history, technique, voluminous knowledge of the world of agave farming, markets spirits production process and stories deftly and authentically, and you will be transported. Our non-drinking teenage daughter also attended and really enjoyed the night. One of the most authentic travel experiences we have ever had in many trips around the world.

Until then, everything we asked for was possible (traveling by air conditioned van for the day to multiple tastings for Tequilla aficionados and discovering lots of small, unknown brands). That day, a tour guide who has not heard of any of this shows up in her own compact, no air conditioning car. She knew nothing about what we had been told. It was frustrating- we traveled from the US for this special birthday celebration and what was promised should have been delivered. No amount was deducted from the bill for any of this, Mickey couldn't care less once he had received the fee about anything else. Disappointing.

While I've always loooved tequila, I have an entirely new appreciation for it. From a historical perspective, learning about mezcal in the pre-Colombian period and innovations in the art in post-Colombian period. That tequila is a form of mezcal born in the early 1900s, that's its aromas and flavors are affected by the soil, climate, and health of the agave itself. I learned how to identify defects and how to appreciate a fine tequila! This place is awesome they carry some of the best artisan tequila.

(Jose Cuervo is owned by Germans and Sauza is owned by Japanese). The tour starts at the central plaza of the town of Tequila. Be careful because a number of different tour operators will approach you and you really have to be specific that you want Orendain, not another brand. They start at ambiguous times, but generally around the noon hour. The English speaking tour guide provided a background to the history of the town as we were driven out in their barrel-shaped, fun, coach out to the factory. The Orendain tour demonstrated how agave cores are pressure-steamed, crushed, fermented and distilled. The tour was quite well explained and I felt quite enlightened. However, I recommend you do some reading about the history of the settlement of the town because it adds to the whole experience (it starts in the 1500's with bloody battles between the Spanish army and the indigenous led by a priest, and continues to the 20th century industrialization). The tequila tour ends at their store, where you get really good prices on the amazing bottles of tequila and liqueurs (tequila suffused with coffee, almonds, and apricots).

The tour was interesting and had lots of fun with our guide. You do walk a ton so take comfy shoes. The ticket came with dinner in the hacienda with live entertainment. Everything was amazing.

Not only will you get to taste every bottle on hand, but they'll mix you cocktails, keep your drink refilled with your favorites, and surprise you with tastes you've never thought you'd enjoy. From start to finish, this was incredible. On the train, you'll meet people from all over the world, see the beautiful countryside, and learn everything about the fruitful agave. Upon entry, you'll get a guided tour, learn about the process, and take in the beauty of Jalisco. Don't even get me started about the food. So tasty! If that wasn't enough, there's a guy there that will engrave your bottles within seconds. Incredible souvenirs to take home. I would do this again in a second! Viva Jalisco! Viva Herradura!
