The Only Distillery In Puerto Vallarta

Detailed Tequila Education
We provide a level of education that nobody else can provide in Puerto Vallarta. That is because we actually distill on the property and you can see the entire process in action from start to finish. We also have an onsite master sommelier to guide you through your tequila tasting.

Only in Mexico
We bring you an experience that can only be found in Mexico. That means buying tequila, raicilla, and mezcal that is not available in the United States. Our tours give you an inside view of how the locals live.
