Jalisco is the state where most of the agave, the source of tequila, is cultivated. During your visit to Puerto Vallarta, we highly recommend doing a tequila tasting (including different liquors that are locally produced such as mezcal and raicilla) so that you can savor the fiery flavor of Mexico’s national drink! Your professional guide will share knowledge about agave plants’ cultivation, the tequila production process, how to distinguish a good tequila from a bad one, and more!
