★★★★★★★★★★4.3 · 6 reviews · from $215

Spend 11 hours in Jalisco’s tequila country, traveling by bus from Guadalajara to Tequila and returning aboard the José Cuervo Express. You’ll see a live jima demonstration, learn how tequila is made at La Rojeña Distillery, taste one drink with an expert, and enjoy mariachi, folkloric dance, and sunset views. Food in Tequila is extra.

“The first stop at the Ranch was a great experience, but a bit too long. Enjoyed the drinks and tamales breakfast. Loved the Maguey explanation from an expert. Spent a little too much time here and not in Tequila, the town. Left rushed once we got to the Cuervo distillery.”
