What are the methods of transportation?Aside from our pickup point, we recommened for smaller groups (5 people and under): - To take an uber or city cab to us and we can call you one for the way back. - The C25 bus picks up and drops off right out front of our ranch (please give yourself sufficent travel time). For larger groups (6 people or more); - We can arrange hotel pickups please reach out to request a quote.
-
Where exactly is the pickup point?The pickup point is located inside of the Puerto Vallarta airport (PVR). A rep in a light purple shirt will wait outside the airport. He'll be just left of the exit doors, holding a sign that says "Finca 18." Please arrive at your tour time. To get to the pickup point it is best to use a city cab or an uber for a timely arrival.
-
Can you do hotel pickups?We can likely pick you up from your hotel, depending on where you are staying. This is if your group has over six people or more. Otherwise, local laws and union rules may prevent us from doing so. That is why we have chosen a convenient pickup point.
-
Someone in my group does not drink, do they still need to pay for the tour?Yes. Most of the value from the tour comes from the cultural and educational aspects of alcoholic spirits in Mexico. Even if you do not drink you will still definitely have a great time.
-
Can I bring children to the tequila tour?No. Due to the hot sun, uneven terrain, serving of alcohol, and out of respect for our other guest, children are not allowed.
-
Is there somewhere close we can eat before or after the tequila tour that you recommend?Our best recommendation is about 5 minutes before the distillery coming from Puerto Vallarta. It is called "Las Casuelas" and they serve traditional Mexican ranch-style food.
-
Do you have a certified tequila NOM?No. Although we are located within the denomination of origin for tequila, work with the blue weber agave, and use all of the same processes that a NOM certified tequila distillery would use, we do not produce NOM certified tequila. This is because we are extremely artisanal and our production capacity is a lot smaller than what it takes to get certified in tequila. We also work with many other kinds of agave other than the blue weber. As of right now, we are called agave spirits.
-
What spirits will I be tasting on the tequila tour?The on-site sommelier curates tastings different from tour to tour. All Mexican agave spirits including; tequila, mezcal, raicila, bacanora, sotol, tuxca, and pox could possibly be available to taste.

There is a rescheduling fee of $500 pesos. This option is only for those who contacted us before their tour. It does not apply to no-calls or no-shows.
