Jalisco Craft Spirits & Cantina Tour

The Jalisco Craft Spirits & Cantina Tour is a four-hour evening tour through Guadalajara's historic cantinas and agave spirit bars, guided by a local expert who leads the group between three to four venues on foot. Stops include La Fuente, a cantina open since 1921, El Gallo Altanero, an agave-focused bar ranked among North America's Best Bars, and a specialist mezcal bar, with the guide explaining how tequila regions, production methods, and aging categories differ along the way. The tasting flight totals 12 to 15 pours across the venues, including a blind comparison between tequila and mezcal and tastings of pulque and tepache, two traditional fermented drinks less commonly served to visitors. The $65 USD per-person price includes the spirit pours, food pairings at each stop, the guide, and historical context on the cantinas; it does not include additional rounds beyond the included pours, transport between the meeting point and first venue, or gratuity. The tour is an evening, adults-only experience conducted at a walking pace between nearby venues in Guadalajara's center, and dietary restrictions for the food pairings can be flagged when booking. Given the volume of tastings, visitors are encouraged to eat beforehand and pace themselves across the 12 to 15 pours rather than treating each as a full drink.
