La Fortaleza Distillery Day Trip (10 Hours)

At the indicated time, we'll pick you up at your hotel in Guadalajara and head to the prestigious La Fortaleza distillery, one of the region's most prized treasures.

Before arriving at La Fortaleza, we'll make a stop at Tequila Selecto, one of the few factories that combines artisanal and industrial methods during the production of tequila.

Next, we'll head to La Fortaleza, where we'll visit the distillery factory for about 2 hours. We'll learn about the artisanal production process, including the bottling area, the cork workshop and the aging cellar, all done using traditional methods. The experience will culminate with a guided tasting of the four blends of Fortaleza Tequila in the ancient aging caves, a true journey into the heart of tequila!

After exploring the distillery, you'll have 2 hours of free time to stroll around the picturesque Pueblo Magico of Tequila. You can admire its colorful main square, take pictures in its historic archways and grab lunch at a local restaurant.

To finish the tour, we'll make a 2.5-hour stop at the famous Cantaritos El Güero. Here, we'll be able to buy one of the most representative cocktails of Jalisco in a cheerful and festive atmosphere, the perfect ending to an unforgettable day!
