La Destileria

1 tequila, 2 tequila, 3 tequila, floor….

We took a tour of La Destileria in the hotel zone and learned a lot about the potent alcohol. The tour was $6.50 and included lots of information, a welcome cocktail, 3 tequila shots and a small plate of appetizers.

Welcome Cocktails!

Agave plant

We started by learning about the agave plant, which is what tequila is made from. We learned about how the plant is harvested and how it becomes the drink we all love. We also learned the difference between white, gold and aged tequila.

We got to try a shot of each and learned the proper tasting technique. Surprisingly, the official way for tasting tequila involves sipping it slowly followed by lime, sangrita, or nothing depending on the type. By the time we were done our samples Jay (an official lightweight) was feeling the effects. Luckily we didn’t have to bike that far to our next destination where he had a chance to sober up!
