We stumbled upon a tequila micro-distillery right next to the Pacific Ocean, on the grounds of Restaurant Oscar’s, while we were just bopping around Puerto Vallarta. Blue agave plants and silver barrels beckoned us with the promise of a chance to try Jalisco’s specialty, tequila.
This is how they describe it on their website:
“Embark on a sensory adventure with our Mexican Distilled Spirits Tasting experience, where tradition, craftsmanship, and flavor converge in a symphony of delightful notes. Explore the rich cultural heritage of Puerto Vallarta through an expertly curated selection of premium distilled spirits that capture the essence of this vibrant country. Indulge in an unforgettable journey through the heart and soul of Puerto Vallarta in Mexico with our Mexican Distilled Spirits Tasting.”
We got a very thorough tour and tasting experience from a guide whose name Lisa unfortunately forgot. After giving us a quick history of how tequila used to be made and explaining how it’s distilled now, our guide even taught us how to drink it.
There were more types of tequila than we have seen anywhere else, including passion fruit, kiwi, coffee, vanilla, guanabana, and even one he described as “The Baby Maker” because it makes you “feel like a donkey from the waist down.”
He was so funny, we walked away with an expensive bottle in our hands and stupid smiles on our faces.
