Tequila Fortaleza feels like the hidden gem among the big names – a small-batch, family-run distillery where everything is still done the old artisanal way, no shortcuts or additives. You’ll wander the beautiful Sauza family property with agave fields stretching out, watch traditional brick ovens, tahona crushing and copper pot distillation up close, then taste their smooth blanco, reposado and añejo in a hand-hewn underground cave that makes the whole experience feel special and intimate. Passionate guides (often family members) share the story of how they kept the traditions alive when bigger brands went industrial.
