Tequila Arette Tour – El Llano Distillery Experience (NOM 1109)

the iconic El Llano Distillery (NOM 1109). Known for its additive-free, small-batch production and
over 125 years of heritage, Arette represents the true spirit of traditional Tequila-Valley craftsmanship.

This fully guided experience gives you access to the production areas where the Orendain family has crafted tequila for

You’ll learn how Arette maintains its reputation for purity and balance across its lineup.

plus free time to explore the Pueblo Mágico of Tequila. It’s an ideal choice for travelers seeking authenticity,
heritage, and a quiet, non-commercial tequila experience.

History of Tequila Arette & El Llano Distillery

Founded in the late 1800s, El Llano Distillery is one of the oldest continuously operating distilleries
in Tequila, Jalisco. Its legacy is built on heritage, tradition, and the Orendain family’s dedication to small-batch tequila.

The distillery has remained family-run for generations, preserving traditional methods such as brick-oven cooking,
natural fermentation, and carefully monitored aging. These time-honored techniques give Arette its clean, balanced profile
and well-known authenticity.

The brand’s name, Arette, pays tribute to the Mexican horse ridden by Humberto Mariles, who won two
Olympic gold medals in 1948. Today, Arette stands as a symbol of national pride—representing excellence, craftsmanship,
and Tequila-Valley tradition.
