Visit one of Jalisco’s most respected distilleries with the Tequila Ocho Distillery Tour in Arandas. This experience is ideal for tequila enthusiasts who want to explore traditional production techniques, taste a variety of premium tequilas, and dive into the story behind one of the industry’s most admired brands. The tour includes private round-trip transportation from Guadalajara and a guided group visit to the historic La Alteña distillery.

About Tequila Ocho

Founded by master distiller Carlos Camarena and tequila ambassador Tomas Estes, Tequila Ocho was the first brand to introduce the concept of single-field, vintage-designated tequila. Each release is crafted from agaves grown in a specific parcel of land and harvested in a particular year—highlighting the terroir of the Los Altos region. Production takes place at the iconic La Alteña Distillery (NOM 1474) in Arandas.

Known for its use of traditional processes—slow-cooking in brick ovens, natural fermentation, and distillation in copper pot stills—Tequila Ocho delivers a pure, agave-forward flavor that has earned international acclaim. Their portfolio includes expressions ranging from fresh Plata to complex Extra Añejo, all produced in small batches with an emphasis on transparency and craftsmanship.
