TEQUILA, JALISCO | Day Trip Guide | Tequila Tours | La Alborada | Fortaleza

We are both major Tequila fans, we might even go as far as saying it’s our favorite liquor! Serve us up a margarita loaded with some tequila and we are in heaven. So of course when in Guadalajara we couldn’t miss the opportunity to go straight to the source. We visited Tequila, Jalisco the birthplace of Tequila and will rave about it for a while.
We’ve been on tequila tours before in Cancun and Mazatlan, but we were able to experience more than just a tasting here. We give a rough guide to follow, from how to get there to where to go, how much it costs and what to expect. Feel free to use this guide for your next trip to TEQUILA!
We eat breakfast overlooking the beautiful Church and then drink quite a bit of Tequila. There are two distilleries that we visit in today’s vlog and we would recommend them to all our friends and family! We had an amazing experience, but watch the vlog to see for yourself!

LOVE this video, might be my fav! Well done! Also, CANADIANS!!! Wooooooo! You can always tell with the Blue Jays hat.

[@javiandjo]

Does this mean we've convinced you to take a trip to TEQUILA with us!?!?

[@hugomezo21]

Javi & Jo: On the Go Honestly, Erin said she really wanted to go after watching this video! I think she’s just ready for a damn drink after 7 1/2 months of being pregnant 🤣

[@kanita0958]

Awww! Tequila, founded 15 years before Guadalajara. To put that into perspective, Guadalajara was founded in 1542 by Basque Cristobal de Oñate, a Spanish conquistador. It was the capital of the New Galicia, part of the viceroyalty of the New Spain. My entire family lives there and we are very proud of our heritage and lineage. We have Mexico's staples, the Mariachi, the birria, the tequila, and the charro. Jalisco is the most Mexican state in the whole country 💝🙏🏻🇲🇽 There are three tequilas, blanco, reposado and añejo, my personal favorite is the añejo. My blanco favorite is Maestro Dobel.

[@javiandjo]

Thank you for sharing all of this with us. We love how passionately you speak of Tequila and Jalisco. We loved the time we spent in Tequila and all of Jalisco! And we'll make sure we try the blanco from Maestro Dobel whenever we can!

[@Pedrosells]

Thank you guys so much for all of the wonderful information. This is exactly what I was looking for and I will be traveling there in the next two weeks. Keep up the good work.

[@margaritayavila7455]

The video is great, it showcases the beautiful town, restaurants and it's distilleries. I don't drink 🍷 at all😅

[@dierdreburnett2854]

Love tequila

[@languageswithmarta6258]

You said the buses from Zapopan run every hour. Is there a website where I can check the timetable? I wouldn't want to show up to the bus station and have to wait for an hour!

[@A.f2023]

I ll be there next month🙂🙂🙂

[@monty4490]

Did I miss the part if you can purchase bottles, how much $ and getting them home?

[@alexistirado6547]

Very good video. It is important to warn visitors that some cantaritos only try to scam and do not add original tequilas to the drink.

[@dierdreburnett2854]

Puerto Rico tequila town is on my bucket list

[@Michelle-ez9hs]

The Bacardi B one?

[@LatAm13]

The Bacardi B one?

[@priscillakrodriguez]

We are going to Tequila next Friday! Can you please tell me where you bought your awesome hat?

[@javiandjo]

Excited for you!!! I got it in Puerto Vallarta at one of the markets. But then I lost it on a bus sometime later and bought another one at a market in San Miguel de Allende. You should be able to find one at any market in Mexico!

[@Energine1]

Ey shoutout to Woody @ Herradura 😜🤠

[@ioanniskostoulas3843]

That's great but you forgot LA CAPILLA bar!..

[@cinthiaramos13]

What hotel did you guys stay at? We are trying to go and I’m looking for hotels near the plaza

[@elbergalarga7290]

Try hotel one guadalajara centro (downtown) about an hour from tequila is much cheaper and u need to visit GUADALAJARA they have buses right beside the hotel (tapatio tour) they will take u and bring u back 4 $20 some dollars,, tequila hotels are little spensive I THINK SALUDOS!!

[@crystalnegrete1432]

[@twoweary]

Not a bad video, but the music was a bit too loud while you were talking. Kind of irritating to try and filter it out in order to understand what you were saying.

[@montserrathernandez1430]

you had me until you said “you can negotiate” NO this is these peoples lively hoods. if you’re not willing to pay the price stay the fuck home!

[@lapazreyes]

Lol that's all over mexico. You negotiate

[@Mari-fi5zn]

@@lapazreyes it may be all over Mexico but that’s not right ! Please don’t do it and just pay what it says
