The Four Seasons Resort Punta Mita, also known as the Riviera Nayarit’s Glamour Peninsula, on Banderas Bay on Mexico’s west coast, is now offering tequila aficionados a highly customized way to explore Mexico’s beloved spirit. Dubbed the Ultimate Tequila Tour Extraordinary Experience, this epic tequila experience gives four guests a behind-the-scenes look into tequila-making process from start to finish at the renowned Jose Cuervo distillery in Tequila, Jal. Mexico; the region that gave birth to this national icon. This one-of-a-kind excursion begins with a private helicopter ride to the family-run Jose Cuervo distillery in Tequila, the only region where blue agave is grown. An expert sommelier will lead the group on a private tour of the facility, providing samples of the tequila at various stages of maturity. Next, a Four Seasons chef will prepare a three-course lunch, which will be paired with tequila and live music, at the distillery’s scenic grounds – a designated UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Before your private helicopter whisks you back to the Resort, visit the reserve vault, or cava, to savour a digestif of top-of-the-line aged tequila served straight from the barrel.
“People travelling here want to taste real tequila, so we’ve created a lot of opportunities for them to do so,” says Alfredo Sanchez, Tequila Expert of Four Seasons Resort Punta Mita, who is nothing if not passionate about his country’s national spirit. “Our guests will discover many different tequilas during their stay and experience many ways to get to the heart of each. Mexicans have a lot of traditions and tequila is right up there. Every town in Mexico brings its own distinct spirit to tequila.”
The Ultimate Tequila Tour is priced at $20,000 for a group of two and is based on availability. For more information contact Four Seasons Resort Punta Mita.
