Tequila Tours Jalisco – Don Valente & Don Tomás Distillery Day Trip
Looking for authentic Tequila Tours Jalisco that go beyond big-brand crowds?
This curated experience combines private transportation from Guadalajara with small-group visits
to two artisanal distilleries: Don Valente Distillery (NOM 1450) and
Don Tomás Distillery, plus time to explore the Pueblo Mágico of Tequila at your own pace.
Your day blends blue agave landscapes, guided tastings of Blanco, Reposado, and Añejo,
and a relaxed walking visit through the town’s historic center. Transportation is always
private for your group, while the distillery tours operate in small groups for
a friendly, social atmosphere. Among tequila tours Jalisco, this route is ideal
if you want substance, storytelling, and real local flavor.

Why Choose These Tequila Tours Jalisco?
Not all tequila tours Jalisco are created equal. This experience focuses on
small-batch producers where traditional methods still drive the process. Instead of rushed
tastings and crowded buses, you’ll have a calm day with a bilingual host, flexible timing,
and distillery stops selected for quality and authenticity.
At each stop, you will see where agave is cooked, fermented, and distilled, and understand
how production choices translate into flavor. With private transportation, you set the tone:
more photos in the fields, an extra drink in town, or a relaxed lunch—your driver is there
exclusively for your group.

Such a great experience! Carlitos was an amazing guide. Fun, knowledgeable, and made everything super easy. Picked us at our Airbnb on time and We visited a small, local distillery and got to taste some incredible tequila. Way better than the big touristy tours. Definitely recommend!
