About the experience.
Puerto Vallarta is in Jalisco, the state that gave the world tequila. We work with two distilleries around the bay: one in the south, about 30 minutes from downtown in a traditional Mexican town, and one in the north, about 30 minutes from Punta de Mita.
At the distillery your guide explains how tequila is distilled, step by step, and the visit ends with a tasting. Transport and a bilingual guide are included, with pickup in Puerto Vallarta, Punta de Mita or Sayulita.
Tell us where you are staying and we will suggest the distillery that suits you, then confirm the pickup and price in writing.

Hidden Mexico: El Tuito
South of Puerto Vallarta the road climbs out of the palms and into pine country. A sixteenth-century village, 1,200-year-old petroglyphs, and lunch at a table set in a river.
