All aboard the iconic Jose Cuervo Express® – a stylish train ride from Guadalajara straight into the heart of Tequila country that feels like a celebration from the moment you step on. You’ll roll through blue agave fields while sipping cocktails and enjoying live mariachi vibes in the Premium Wagon. In the town of Tequila, a master tequilero leads guided tastings of Mexico’s famous spirit, you tour the historic La Rojeña distillery, watch an agave harvesting demo in the fields, and catch a lively Mexican show packed with music and dance. Snacks, drinks and all activities are included, with a comfortable bus return so you can relax after the fun. The perfect full-day immersion in tequila culture – scenic, flavorful and unforgettable.
The emerald-blue expanse of the agave fields and the rhythmic clinking of glass on the Jose Cuervo Express® serve as the stage for this 11-hour high-altitude cultural expedition.
Operated as a full sensory immersion into Mexico's national spirit, this journey transitions from the urban pulse of Guadalajara to the "Magical Town" of Tequila.
You move from a traditional "jima" harvesting demonstration to the sophisticated atmosphere of the Premium Wagon, experiencing an environment where master tequileros and mariachi performers bring the heritage of Jalisco to life.
Because this is a high-demand experience featuring the La Rojeña distillery, you should secure your Jose Cuervo Express tickets early for your 2026 departure.
Expect a lively, meticulously organized, and spirit-forward immersion into the world of tequila. The transition from the dusty agave fields to the luxury train cars requires comfortable shoes and sun protection. The environment is one of "festive elegance," where the music of the mariachi complements the complexity of the premium tequilas. Note that the minimum legal drinking age is 18, and the tour involves an 11-hour commitment that is not recommended for those with serious back or heart conditions.
Ensure you stay in a listed hotel rather than an Airbnb; our agency finds that travelers who move to the nearest major hotel lobby for their scheduled pickup enjoy a much more reliable vertical start to their day.
You must call 24 to 48 hours before the tour to confirm your vertical timing and boarding pass; failing to do so may lead to confusion at the meeting point.
Between the tequila tastings and the Mexican snacks, drink plenty of water; the vertical sun in Jalisco's agave valleys can be intense, especially when combined with high-proof spirits.
Stand at a low vertical angle when the jimador is working; this captures the sheer scale of the agave piñas and the specialized tools used in the harvest.
The agave colors and train atmosphere change vertically throughout the 2026 season.
