About this experience

Imagine going to a factory and then riding like you're a real local.
We want you to learn and live the tequila process firsthand in a premium way. We will take you hand in hand with the 3rd generation of a very experienced tequila family with a factory that can produce more than 1 million boxes of tequila a year.

First we will take you to an agavero field to see its characteristics. Then we will go to the factory where we will tell them their process while we tell them hidden stories about tequila and at the end we will ride on a charro canvas so that they feel the real pride of feeling Mexican.
