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!

They set us up with a private home, pool, food, entertainment. We met the other bars in the US who sold the most Jose Curevo in the US. A,B, and C properties. And the trips were paid by various liquor distributors. We had a great great time, tasting fresh delicious regional foods. Entertainment by each region of Mexico. We traveled by air-conditioned bus and were constantly given tequila shots, while shopping, and eating,even on the bus. I enjoyed every time we went, to the markets,villages, restaurants, dancing, street music, and the countryside. ETC ... Loved the food and the people. And was impressed by how Jose Curevo cares about the people in Tequila village. My fav margarita was fresh mango yums!

So when multiple folks told me this was the tour to do, I was skeptical but I was wrong. It ended up being a wonderful tour and they did a great job putting it all together.

I left with a much greater appreciation of Jose Cuervo and the higher end options they sell.

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. Do not miss this in CDMX!!!

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.

(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).
