Visit Finca 18, a 12-acre family ranch near Puerto Vallarta, with guides including Mario, Greg, Alex, Emily, and Javier. Walk through agave fields, learn how spirits are made, then taste five or more small-batch pours with chocolate, guacamole, and ranch-made snacks. The remote setting is lovely, but plan your transportation carefully.

“This tour is fantastic! We were greeted by staff and 3 adorable pups. They take the time to explain the whole process from seeds and growing up to the bottling. We had so much fun during the tasting as well. The welcome Tequila Mule drink was amazing and she even hand wrote the recipe for me! Truly great people and a fantastic experience. Highly recommend this trip!!!!”
