Tequila is, well, the birthplace of tequila, Mexico’s national drink and one of the world's most beloved spirits.
72% of all the tequila in the world is produced in this region, much like the Champagne region in France or Chianti in Italy. Both the town of Tequila and its surrounding area have been designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site and Tequila town is considered a Pueblo Magico (Magical Town) since 2003.
Tequila, as it's known today, was created in the 1600s when the first tequila license was issued by the king of Spain. The town’s name comes from the Nahuatl word “Tecuilan” which means “place of tributes”.
