El Tequileño Tequila Tour – Visit La Capilla & Taste History in Tequila, Jalisco

Join us on the ultimate El Tequileño Tequila Tour, where you’ll dive deep into the culture, tradition, and flavor of one of Mexico’s most iconic tequila brands. This private, guided day trip includes a tour and tasting at the legendary El Tequileño Distillery (NOM 1108), free time in the Pueblo Mágico of Tequila, a stop at the world-famous La Capilla cantina—the birthplace of the Batanga—and a celebratory visit to Cantaritos El Güero. If you’re a tequila lover looking for an authentic and meaningful experience away from the tourist traps, this is the tour for you.

Founded in 1959, El Tequileño is a boutique distillery that has earned international acclaim while staying true to its local roots. From their small-batch, additive-free tequilas to their commitment to traditional methods, a visit here gives you an insider look at how great tequila is truly made. After your guided tasting of El Tequileño’s Platinum, Gran Reserva Reposado, and Añejo labels, you’ll stroll through the charming town of Tequila, sample regional snacks, and toast to a day well spent with massive clay-pot cocktails at Cantaritos.
