Matthew Harris –
Our group of 12 traveled from New York to Guadalajara for a medical convention, and we decided to book the La Cofradía Tequila Experience with TQM as a team activity. It turned out to be the highlight of our trip.
We stayed at the Matices Hotel de Barricas, and the barrel-shaped rooms were a unique and memorable touch — comfortable, well designed, and right in the middle of the agave fields. A fun surprise was the ducks that wander freely around the property, which added a charming, relaxed atmosphere that our entire group enjoyed.
The distillery tour and tequila tastings were professional, well organized, and educational without ever feeling too formal. Lunch onsite was handled seamlessly for our group size, and gave everyone the chance to relax, recharge, and continue conversations outside of the convention setting.
TQM coordinated everything perfectly, from timing to transportation, and made sure we had the flexibility we needed. For groups traveling to Guadalajara — especially those coming in for conferences or conventions — this experience is an excellent way to balance work with a truly memorable cultural activity.
