The Agave Experience

We did the small group tour with Pedro after getting a recommendation. Pedro is incredibly knowledgeable on everything related to tequila. He taught us the different processes used and how they effect the flavor and quality. The restaurants he picked were authentic and delicious. We would highly recommend The Agave Experience and be sure to ask for Pedro!

We did the private tour with The Agave Experience and we had the best time with our Tequila Master Andrea. She is very knowledge within any questions about Tequila. Our schedule is very flexible and we are able to stop and skip wherever we want , this is the best tour experience so far!! Highly recommend to everyone.

In August 2020, I traveled to Guadalajara for a Spanish language immersion class. Being in the heart of Tequila country and Tequila being my favorite liquor, I knew I absolutely wanted to do a tour. I'm not typically a fan of large group tours as I find them too canned and "touristy". In addition, this was right in the middle of dealing with Covid, so a small group made even more sense. This craft tequila tour was absolutely perfect!

First, I was fortunate enough to be the only person on the tour the day I booked. So, I truly had a personalized experience. Giancarlo, the owner, picked me up at my hotel. Giancarlo has a degree in biology and is working towards his Masters degree in Tequila, so he is GENUINELY passionate and knowledgeable about Tequila. Our first stop was at an authentic mexican cafe for breakfast, where we enjoyed seeing the ladies hand-making fantastic tortillas and gorditas and fresh squeezed juices. We then ventured to an agave field to learn about the sensational nature of this multi-purpose plant and the soul of Tequila. Our Tequila tour and tasting was done at a small, private Tequila maker that utilizes a very unique process. I've been on many wine tours and I enjoy learning the process of how various tastes are created. The tasting itself was a pleasure with a large variety flight. After the tasting we went to the town of Tequila and enjoyed a tasty authentic Mexican lunch and walked around the shops for a bit and then headed back to Guadalajara.

Giancarlo is truly a connoisseur and a pleasure to spend the day with. He even helped me with my Spanish learning. The overall experience was personal, unique, educational, safe, and a lot of fun. I HIGHLY recommend this life experience for everyone who wants to open their minds to the wonder that is TEQUILA!!!

Rodrigo gave us the tour of a lifetime! We got the most amazing tour of the Tequila area and the smaller distilleries. It was more than we ever expected it would be. He was so knowledgeable and passionate about Tequila and the history behind it. Thank you so much!

We had such a great time on the agave experience tour. Andie was an excellent guide, knew the tequila process in depth, and was a lot of fun to spend the day with. We enjoyed the in-depth tastings and delicious food. I certainly view tequila differently than I used to, and will from now on approach tequila’s quite differently. This was our favorite thing we did while in Guadalajara, and we felt pampered from beginning to end. As an added bonus, Andie was also able to offer other recommendations of things to do in Guadalajara and it made the rest of our trip better. Don’t miss this!
