A Journey Through Tequila, Jalisco — Mexico's Most Magical Town🍋‍🟩

Special Thanks to our contributors: Tour Guide Anwar, Speakeasy Cocina, Casa Humo Mexican Cooking Classes, and fabulous TWIG Members Rebecca Bratter, Robert Frost, Jason Born, and Joe Gotshall.    


Tequila, Jalisco is, well, the birthplace of tequila — Mexico's national drink and one of the world's most beloved spirits. Located just 65 km northwest of Guadalajara, this Pueblo Mágico of 25,000 people is one of the most rewarding day trips you can make from the city.


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 agave landscape have been designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and Tequila has held the title of Pueblo Mágico (Magical Town) since 2003.


The best part? You don't have to be a tequila drinker to love Tequila. The name refers to a volcano, a town, a drink, and a region spanning 11 unique municipalities — there is something here for everyone, at every age, at every budget.

🌵 How to enjoy the perfect day trip to Tequila from Guadalajara
