Stop 5

It seems that Mexican traditions have the power to make those who experience them feel a deep connection to them, even if their homeland is far from this mystical and joyful country. This is certainly the case at Quinta Sauza during the Tequila Express experience, with a welcome cantarito, served in a clay pitcher and prepared with tequila, citrus juices, soda, ice, and a touch of salt. The citrus fruits are orange, grapefruit, and lemon. The combination of these fruits highlights a distinct flavor, resulting in a unique and refreshing drink. We will enjoy a show with mariachi music, folkloric ballet, charro skills, and singers, followed by a guided walking tour of downtown Tequila.
