Full-Day Tour to La Fortaleza Distillery & Cantaritos Experience
About This Tour
We begin at La Fortaleza Distillery, one of the living sanctuaries of traditional tequila. Here, time does not run, it walks. You will discover artisanal processes that have remained almost unchanged for generations: brick ovens, tahona, natural fermentation, slow distillation. This is not mass production, it is alchemy with agave. Fortaleza does not just make tequila, it guards a legacy. And you get to see it from the inside. Then we head down to Tequila Town, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Colorful streets, history on every corner, shops, viewpoints and the calm rhythm of a place that knows exactly who it is. Here you will have free time to explore, eat, take photos and let the town adopt you for a while. We close the day the right way: at Cantaritos El Güero. Music, atmosphere, joy, and those famous cantaritos that do not ask for permission. It is the perfect contrast: after tradition and history, comes the celebration. Tequila is honored… and also celebrated. This tour is for those who want to understand, feel and live tequila. Not just taste it. Not just see it. Live it. Includes round-trip transportation, driver/guide and distillery access.
Itinerary
Fortaleza destilery
Visiting La Fortaleza Distillery is stepping into one of the last strongholds of tequila made the old way. Here, there are no rushes, no shortcuts and no industrial production. Every step of the process is carried out by hand, honoring techniques passed down from generation to generation. You will see the brick ovens, tahona milling, natural fermentation and slow distillation in traditional copper stills. Everything happens in plain sight, with no staged scenes or theatrics. This is real tequila. Raw. Honest. La Fortaleza does not seek to impress with volume, but with quality, history and character. It is a distillery that does not produce for the masses, but for those who understand. For those who know that tequila is not manufactured, it is grown, waited for and respected. This tour is ideal for anyone who truly wants to understand what tequila is, where it comes from and why it matters.
