If you have some extra time in town for a day trip, you may want to consider taking the ultimate Puerto Vallarta tequila tour: actually going to Tequila, Jalisco! In the area around the town of Tequila, Jalisco, greenish blue fields of Agave stretch out kilometer after kilometer over the rugged, hilly terrain which has been named a World Heritage Site by UNESCO. All of the tequila in the world is produced in this region that also includes regions in the Mexican states of Guanajuato, Nayarit, Michoacan, and Tamaulipas. In 1978 the “Appellation of Origin Tequila” was instituted, decreeing that agave-based drinks made anywhere else may not be labeled tequila.
There are multiple tequila haciendas and distilleries worth visiting such as:
- Casa Noble
- Hacienda Herradura
- La Alborada
- La Cofradia
- Hacienda La Fortaleza
- Hacienda Tequilera La Perseverancia
- Destilería La Rojeña
- Casa Orendain
- Hacienda del Oro
Enjoy guided tours through some of the original haciendas and learn the step-by-step process of how the agave plant is transformed into tequila. Finally, try different varieties of the spirit. Bring good walking shoes!
