About this experience
Visit Tequila, the beautiful town in the state of Jalisco, and stroll through its charming streets while tasting delicious food at the municipal market. On this tour, you'll get to know the La Fortaleza Distillery through its "Los Abuelos" or "Bisabuelo" tour, where you'll observe the tequila-making process.
