La Rojeña Distillery Tour
La Rojeña Distillery
Located in the heart of Tequila, La Rojeña is the oldest active distillery in Latin America, founded in 1758. As you walk through its doors, you’ll be surrounded by the aroma of agave and travel back in time as you explore its courtyards and rooms full of tradition.
During your visit, you’ll follow the artisanal tequila-making process step by step. You’ll see how the agave is selected, cooked in masonry ovens, the juices extracted, and then aged in barrels in the cellar.
Depending on the option you choose when booking, you can enhance your experience with visits to the agave fields to see the jimadores in action or take part in specialized tastings of José Cuervo Tradicional and Maestro Dobel tequila.
