El Castillo de Tequila Tour – Explore a Tequila Castle, Then Taste the Legends

Looking for a tequila tour that’s a little more special? The El Castillo de Tequila Tour is a full-day experience that takes you from Guadalajara to some of the most memorable spots in Jalisco’s tequila country.

We start with a visit to El Castillo de Tequila, a real tequila castle in the town of Arenal, built and run by the Gallardo family. You’ll tour the stunning grounds, learn about their artisanal tequila-making process, and of course—enjoy a guided tasting. From there, we head to the town of Tequila for a visit to the iconic José Cuervo distillery, explore the colorful streets, and cap it all off with a fresh cantarito cocktail at the famous Cantaritos De El Güero.

If you’re into tequila, architecture, local culture, or just unforgettable day trips—this one’s for you.

¿En Qué Consiste el Tour?

• Visit to El Castillo de Tequila: This is not your average distillery. Built by the Gallardo family, the castle is a beautiful estate surrounded by agave fields and full of traditional character. You’ll tour the grounds, learn about small-batch tequila production, and enjoy a tasting of their handcrafted tequilas.
• José Cuervo Distillery: Once in Tequila, we’ll stop at the world-famous José Cuervo for another guided tour and tasting. It’s a must-see for anyone who wants to understand the history behind one of the most recognized tequila brands in the world.
• Tiempo libre en Tequila: After the distillery visits, you’ll have time to explore the town. Grab lunch, pop into a museum, shop for souvenirs, or just take in the vibe of this Pueblo Mágico.
• Parada en Cantaritos El Güero: On the way back, we’ll swing by this legendary roadside stop for a giant cantarito—Jalisco’s signature cocktail made with tequila, fresh citrus, and bubbly soda served in a clay cup. It’s the perfect way to toast the day.
