Tequila town feels like the heart of Mexico’s blue agave country, with colorful streets and that laid-back Jalisco vibe everywhere. This private tour lets you wander the picturesque lanes at your own pace, stopping for delicious local bites at the bustling municipal market – fresh tacos, gorditas or whatever catches your eye. You’ll step into historic El Llano Distillery (125 years strong) home of Tequila Arette, watching the traditional process up close before a sensory tasting of their smooth Blanco, Reposado, Añejo (or the higher-proof Fuerte line and Extra Añejo depending on your choice). Add Tequila Selecto for a quieter, crowd-free visit to another standout producer. The best part? It’s fully customizable – pause for photos in the endless agave fields or any spot that grabs you. Limited spaces, so book ahead – the perfect relaxed dive into real tequila culture without the big groups.
The volcanic soil of the agave fields and the century-old masonry of the El Llano Distillery serve as the stage for this 6 to 7-hour exclusive private expedition.
Focused on the heritage of Tequila Arette, this journey transitions from your location in Guadalajara to the historic heart of the spirit's production.
You move between two distinct distilleries—the artisan Tequila Selecto and the traditional Arette—experiencing an environment where 125 years of legacy are captured in a vertical sensory tasting.
Because this is a fully private activity with customizable stops, you should book your Arette Tequila experience early to secure your 2026 "Grand Class" tasting.
Expect a sophisticated, crowd-free, and highly personalized immersion into the world of premium tequila. The transition from the urban bustle to the peaceful agave landscapes is managed in private comfort, allowing you to stop for photos whenever the vertical light hits the blue agave just right. The environment is one of "traditional excellence," where the tasting sessions are educational and sensory. Note that while the tour is private, it is not wheelchair accessible, and alcoholic beverages are strictly for those over 18 years of age.
Choose the 5-expression tasting option; our agency finds that travelers who sample the Fuerte 101 alongside the Extra Añejo gain a much more profound vertical understanding of how alcohol content and barrel aging alter the agave's profile.
Don't hesitate to ask your driver to stop in the agave fields; since this is a private tour, you have the vertical flexibility to find the perfect, tourist-free backdrop for your 2026 holiday photos.
For lunch, head to the municipal market in the town of Tequila; our clients, travelers, and our agency suggest that the "birria" or local tacos found there provide a more authentic vertical taste of Jalisco than the restaurants on the main square.
If you are sensitive to strong drinks, share a large "cantarito" at El Güero; they are famously refreshing but vertically potent, so enjoying them at a relaxed pace is the best way to soak in the vibrant Mexican atmosphere.
The lighting and field conditions change vertically throughout the 2026 season.
