A trip to the agave fields of Tequila is closer than you think if you live at Lake Chapala.
Tequila’s world-famous agave fields are only 90 minutes from Chapala, easily accessible by car, tour van, or bus.
Here are three ways to get to Tequila from Lake Chapala.
TAKE A VAN TOUR WITH A LICENSED JALISCO STATE TOUR GUIDE
The Victoria hotel runs tours a few times a month from Ajijic to Tequila. You’ll spend the day touring an agave field and a distillery with a professional guide who will lead you through the whole production procession, from the field to bottling. This includes visiting an agave field and the Tequila Selecto distillery in Amatitlán, just south of Tequila. You’ll taste a variety of tequilas at the distillery and then (at an additional charge of around $100-$200 pesos) everyone eats lunch at a local restaurant before heading into the town of Tequila to spend an hour on your own.
Total cost is $780 pesos per person. Consult their website for more details and upcoming dates. Tours are limited to 13 people.
