1-5-Hour Tequila Tasting Tour in Puerto Vallarta

1-5-Hour Tequila Tasting Tour in Puerto Vallarta

Enjoy a wonderful tequila tasting in Puerto Vallarta, the Jewel of the state of Jalisco, which is the tequila capital of the world. Mexican law requires that tequila be produced only in Jalisco, and limited regions in a few other states. Here, tequila has an international place of origin designation, similar to Champagne in France. For the tastings, you'll try only tequilas made from 100 percent blue agave, cultivated in Jalisco which has ideal growing conditions for the agave plant. There are three different Tasting Experiences, each with a different level of experience and expertise in mind. Decide which one is best for you and have a great time learning about the passion for this magical elixir.

You have a choice to choose from three different tastings. You will meet your guide at a central location to start the tasting.

1. The Beginner

The Beginner Tasting is a great way for someone who’s new to Tequila to learn more about this amazing liquor. What is agave? What’s the difference between blancos and reposados? What should one be looking for in a quality tequila? With the Beginner tasting, we will start with clear tequilas, look at what pairs up for mixing, and move on to some more aged amber varieties for sipping. Move from a novice to an expert with a total of 3 quality tequilas sampled throughout this hour and a half tasting.

2. The Connoisseur

On this tasting, you'll fine tune your appreciation for the nectar of the Gods. Do you have a favorite tequila? Let’s compare bodies and bouquets. We will sip some artisanal varieties, smoky dark añejos and exclusive extra añejos. You'll be surprised with some hidden gems discovered on our travels. A total of 4 carefully hand picked, quality tequilas will be sampled throughout the hour and a half tasting.

3. The Mezcalero

It’s not hallucinogenic and doesn’t always come with a worm, Mezcal: Tequila’s smoky, mysterious, cool uncle. Despite Mezcal’s growing popularity in the liquor and cocktail scene, much of the product never even makes it to US or Canada due to trade restrictions and small batch quantities. This is your opportunity to try something new and see why this artisanal drink is receiving so much attention. A total of 4 quality, small distillery mezcals will be sampled throughout this hour and a half tasting.
