3.From Guadalajara: La Rojeña Distillery & Jose Cuervo Train

★★★★★★★★★★4.3 · 6 reviews · from $215

Spend 11 hours in Jalisco’s tequila country. Ride a bus from Guadalajara to Tequila, see a live jima demonstration, taste one guided drink, tour La Rojeña Distillery, enjoy mariachi and folkloric dance, then return on the José Cuervo Express.

“The first stop at the Ranch was a great experience, but a bit too long. Enjoyed the drinks and tamales breakfast. Loved the Maguey explanation from an expert. Spent a little too much time here and not in Tequila, the town. Left rushed once we got to the Cuervo distillery.”
