TEQUILA, JALISCO | Day Trip Guide | Tequila Tours | La Alborada | Fortaleza

We are both major Tequila fans, we might even go as far as saying it’s our favorite liquor!  Serve us up a margarita loaded with some tequila and we are in heaven. So of course when in Guadalajara we couldn’t miss the opportunity to go straight to the source. We visited Tequila, Jalisco the birthplace of Tequila and will rave about it for a while.

We’ve been on tequila tours before in Cancun and Mazatlan, but we were able to experience more than just a tasting here. We give a rough guide to follow, from how to get there to where to go, how much it costs and what to expect. Feel free to use this guide for your next trip to TEQUILA!

We eat breakfast overlooking the beautiful Church and then drink quite a bit of Tequila. There are two distilleries that we visit in today’s vlog and we would recommend them to all our friends and family! We had an amazing experience, but watch the vlog to see for yourself!

Awww! Tequila, founded 15 years before Guadalajara. To put that into perspective, Guadalajara was founded in 1542 by Basque Cristobal de Oñate, a Spanish conquistador. It was the capital of the New Galicia, part of the viceroyalty of the New Spain. My entire family lives there and we are very proud of our heritage and lineage. We have Mexico's staples, the Mariachi, the birria, the tequila, and the charro. Jalisco is the most Mexican state in the whole country 💝🙏🏻🇲🇽
There are three tequilas, blanco, reposado and añejo, my personal favorite is the añejo. My blanco favorite is Maestro Dobel.
