Is Tequila a Pueblo Mágico?
Yes. Tequila, Jalisco joined Mexico’s Pueblos Mágicos program in 2003. The program recognizes towns with special history, traditions, and culture.
What is the difference between artisanal and big brand distilleries?
Artisanal distilleries like Fortaleza and Cascahuin work in small batches with traditional methods such as brick ovens and tahona stone milling. Big brands like José Cuervo and Sauza offer polished visits with more history and spectacle. Many guests enjoy doing one of each.
