Private La Fortaleza Tour: Visit the iconic distillery where tequila was born. Discover artisanal production methods, taste premium expressions, and explore the charming town of Tequila.
Discover the heart of tequila production at La Fortaleza Distillery, one of the most iconic and traditional distilleries in Mexico. On this private tour, you'll witness the entire artisanal tequila-making process — from harvesting blue agave in the fields to the final distillation and bottling.
Walk through historic cobblestone facilities, visit the original stone ovens (hornos), observe the tahona (stone wheel) crushing process, and explore the fermentation and distillation areas. Learn about the differences between Blanco, Reposado, and Añejo expressions during an exclusive guided tasting session.
Choose between two premium experiences: Viva Bisabuelo — the ultimate luxury experience with extended time at La Fortaleza, or Viva Abuelo — our signature tour visiting two distilleries. Both include round-trip transportation from Guadalajara, expert bilingual guides, and unforgettable photo opportunities in the agave landscape.
Finish your day with a visit to Cantaritos el Güero #1 for refreshing traditional drinks in a festive atmosphere. Perfect for tequila enthusiasts, couples, and groups seeking an authentic Mexican cultural experience.
