You step off the air-conditioned van into a plain of blue agave that seems to stretch to the horizon—spiky rosettes pointing like weather vanes toward the sun. The valley smells faintly of earth and citrus; distant drum beats from a local band pull the afternoon forward. This is Jalisco’s tequila landscape, where fields, haciendas and underground cavas tell the story of a distilled spirit that shaped a region.
