Private Tequila Tour

We came to Tequila for my husband’s 50th birthday with two other couples. Let me just tell you this itinerary was top notch! Everyday was better than the next. Jessie had curated a 3 day private itinerary that was so amazing. Edgar was our guide and he was EXCELLENT! Very knowledgeable and accommodating every step of the way.i can not recommend them enough. Thank you Jessie and Edgar for one of the most memorable experiences.

We had an amazing experience with Agave Adventures, and our guide Edgar was a big part of what made the day so enjoyable. He was respectful, informative, and funny, and he treated us extremely well throughout the entire tour. He made us feel comfortable and made the experience feel more like spending the day with a friend than just being on a tour. We visited Cava de Oro, explored the town of Tequila, and had lunch at Casa Sauza, where we had some of the best food of our entire trip. Casa Sauza’s on-site restaurant is part of the historic hacienda and focuses on Mexican cuisine. We finished the day at the famous Cantaritos El Güero, which was a perfect way to end the experience. Edgar did a great job explaining the tequila-making process while keeping everything fun and interesting. From the distillery to the food, the town, and the cantaritos, the entire day was an experience we’ll remember. We definitely recommend Agave Adventures, and if you get Edgar as your guide, you’re in great hands!

We had an outstanding experience with Agave Adventures and our guide, Jesse. From the moment we booked the tour, Jesse’s communication was excellent. He reached out weeks in advance, provided his WhatsApp contact information, confirmed pickup details the night before, and even let us know he might be a few minutes late because of traffic (he actually arrived right on time). That level of communication immediately gave us confidence. The vehicle was spotless, there was bottled water waiting for us, and on the drive from Guadalajara he even stopped at a convenience store so we could grab a snack before all of the tequila tastings. It was a thoughtful touch that really set the tone for the day. One of the biggest surprises was that this was a completely private tour for just my wife and me. For a price comparable to many larger group tours, we had a personalized experience that felt like traveling with a local friend who also happened to be an insider in the tequila industry. Jesse is young, professional, personable, and incredibly knowledgeable. Having previously worked in the industry, he seemed to know everyone at the distilleries we visited. He’s fluent in both English and Spanish and spent many years living in San Diego, making him the perfect guide for English-speaking visitors who want to understand both the culture and the tequila-making process. We visited Casa d’Oro and Cascahuin, and I loved seeing two very different distilleries. Learning about agave cultivation and tequila production from two perspectives made the experience much more interesting than visiting only one location. We sampled six tequilas at each stop, and every tasting came with fascinating explanations about the production methods and what made each tequila unique. Afterward we explored the town of Tequila, enjoyed a fantastic lunch, and Jesse introduced us to aguachile after we mentioned that ceviche is one of our favorite foods. It ended up being one of our favorite meals of the entire trip. By the end of the day, it honestly felt like we had spent the day with a friend rather than a tour guide. If we’re ever back in the Guadalajara or Tequila region, Jesse will be one of the first people we contact. I can’t recommend this tour highly enough. If you’re trying to decide between a crowded bus tour and this private experience, choose this one. It was one of the highlights of our trip to Mexico.

Very pleasant experience! From booking to completion Jessie was very attentive and knowledgeable. He provided great insight and recommendations throughout and helped make the experience memorable. I would do it again.

This was an exceptionally well curated professional experience, we were so glad to have found Jessie during our search for a private guide and translator to the highlands region of Jalisco! We can’t rave about his knowledge and especially the ability to communicate the process and principles of making tequila. He’s also very proficient at explaining the industry in general, which added to our overall understanding of how tequilas have evolved in the region. Perfectly fluent in English which can be necessary at the distilleries. The tour was mapped out well in advance, with our ideas of what we wanted to see, he made great suggestions, knew the route well, his follow up was perfect throughout our planning stage and the price was more than fair for all he arranged for us. He knows the tequila makers, made the right, introductions and was able to explain very technical details brilliantly. We plan to have a stop for lunch in between but found the tours so engrossing in learning that we just stopped at a perfect spot after our scheduled tours on the way home to continue the conversations. He arrived on time and drove us from place to place with a beautiful commentary on what we were there to learn along the way. From 9 am-6 or 7 pm we thoroughly enjoyed every moment. HIGHLY RECOMMEND

Wonderful experience and everything was taken care of. Peace of mind after booking, where they took care of everything. Tour was everything we expected and asked for.

I liked that the private tour gave options about which artisanal distilleries I could visit. My guide, Jessie, spoke good English and was knowledgeable about tequila and its history. I recommend going to Forteleza to taste tequila made the old way, using a tohono to crush the agave. Different flavors come out and you get to taste them in a cave! And you can get fish tacos afterward on the beautiful Sauza property below the volcano, so I skipped the restaurant included in the tour because I was with a fun group. Jessie was flexible and then we went to Cascuin distillery where he had worked so he led the tour and tasting there. I recommend this tour if you want artisanal tequila.

Had an amazing trip from beginning to end. Jessie was a great tour guide who is very knowledgeable about tequila and all other agave spirits. Would recommend to anyone and will definitely use him next time we travel to guadalajara.

What a great day trip with a great guide! We enjoyed the entire tequila experience with lunch and lovely visits throughout the day. Highly recommended for anyone coming to Guadalajara.

This trip was amazing. I really enjoyed the personalized experience. There were four of us that traveled from the US and our first time in Guadalajara and Tequila. Our Driver and your guide was Jessie. His English was flawless. He’s a knowledgeable and safe driver. H stooped for us along the way as we needed. Thank you Jessie Orozco for a great adventure.

It was an amazing experience and he made the tour so much fun and it was 17 wild girls on a bachelorette party so he also had patience. His english was perfect we spoke spaneligh so it was helpful for him tu understand us .

Both distilleries were awesome. Edgar was an excellent host. He spoke perfect English and Spanish and was very flexible to our needs. Lunch was great and the town of Tequila was a nice was to wrap up the day.

Our guide Jesse spoke excellent English and made the tour both fun and informative. We were able to see the family owned distillery in full swing from loading the piñas into the ovens, tasting the cooked agave and watching the small batch distillation. Tasting was done in a lovely garden setting. We had lunch in the town of Tequila, including a colorful plaza and an indigenous dance performance.

Can’t say enough good things about this trip. My wife and I booked with Jessie last Thursday and had such a great time, we brought back friends on Sunday for a slightly different tour. Over the two days, we saw a few distilleries, the town of Tequila and Tlaquepaque. Jessie was very friendly, knowledgeable and fun. He is great. Highly recommend booking with him for a truly personal and unique experience. We will certainly reach out again when back in Guadalajara.

We had a great day with Jessie, our guide, who showed us all the details how tequila is made, we got to taste cooked agave with him and he adjusted the agenda to our speed. The day flew by and we definitely recommend taking a tour with him!

It was an exceptional excursion. Jessie provided us with his expansive knowledge of the history and creation of an incredible elixir. Jessie opened our eyes to the world of tequila by sharing with us his own personal experiences. Jessie was actually physically engaged in the cultivation, harvesting, and processing of the agave plant. His hands on experiences gave him the ability to paint a visual picture that only someone who shares the same passion as those who have lived the total tequila experience. He was patient with our many questions and flexible with our schedule. We certainly recommend this tour with Jessie.

Jessie was a pleasure to have as a tour guide. He went out of his way to answer any and all questions. He is very knowledgeable. Highly recommend!

Excellent service. I highly recommend getting their private tour as it enables full flexibility and you avoid any line.

The group and I had a fantastic time on this tour with our tour guide Jessie. From the start, communication was always on point and Jessie was on time with everything. We did the private tour with him and we moved at our pace which I enjoyed. The two distilleries we attended were excellent and Jessie knew what he was taking about. Gain a lot of knowledge and experience in this tequila tour. The lunch was great and the location was stunning. Overall I highly recommend this experience and if can would recommend seeking out for Jessie, as he will definitely give you a great experience and listen to any needs you might need.

Our tour guide Jessie was an amazing host. He walked us through the Cascahuin distillery and elegantly explained to my group the process of making tequila. The overall experience was great, and I would recommend this to anyone who is interested - in either drinking or learning about tequila.

Jessie was a great Tour Guide. Very knowledgeable and professional. Great times at the Cascahuin Tequila Distillery

We joined Jessie’s tour to get a real cultural immersion into the world of Tequila and it exceeded all expectations. Jessie has been running tours around Tequila for a number of years and this shows through his in depth knowledge and strong relationships with the distilleries. We were taken to a number of different distilleries which used a variety of production methods. Jessie took the time to explain the subtle differences in production before we got to try a large selection of tequilas from each distillery. The stop in Tequila for food and a traditional cantarito cocktail was a great way to end the tour before heading back into Guadalajara. Jessie is so incredibly passionate about Tequila and does a fantastic job of passing on this passion and knowledge through his tour. I can’t recommend enough!

Great day exploring the town of Tequila and the surrounding agave landscapes. Jessie was very knowledgeable and accommodating guide. We were the only two for our tour and Jessie was very flexible with what we wanted to explore. We were picked up on time
