No trip to Mexico is complete without a surplus of tequila-induced sips to pair with a sunny day on the beach. And what better way to fully experience the tasty spirit than by visiting its hometown. The town of Tequila is located in the state of Jalisco where a variety of tequila distilleries are located including the family-run Jose Cuervo distillery. The surrounding agave landscape here is even designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site and Four Seasons Resort Punta Mita offers an experience that will drop you off in the middle of it.
The Ultimate Tequila Tour is the resort’s one-of-a-kind excursion that’s ideal for those looking to learn more about the history, process and taste of tequila making. Guests will arrive at the distillery via private helicopter where an expert sommelier will then whisk you off for an exclusive tour that will feature the tequila-making process from start to final pour. The experience also includes a gourmet lunch prepared by a Four Seasons chef that will be accompanied by live music and of course, tequila. Then, to top off the tour, guests will have the opportunity to visit the reserve vault (or “cava”) where they will be able to enjoy a digestif of top-of-the-line aged tequila served straight from the barrel.
