Vallarta Tequila Tastings is a specialty tasting company based in Puerto Vallarta, Jalisco, offering guided tequila and mezcal experiences for visitors and locals alike. The company presents a curated lineup of in-person and virtual tastings that explore Mexico’s artisanal spirits, including tequila, mezcal, raicilla, sotol, and bacanora.
Experiences range from 1.5-hour samplings to two-hour food and chocolate pairings, with options such as The Mezcalero, The Connoisseur Tasting, Tequila Chocolate Pairing, Tequila Food Pairing, and The Spirits Of Mexico virtual journey. Tastings include small-batch and rare expressions, smoky añejos, and extra añejos, and many events pair spirits with handcrafted chocolates or multi-course menus. Sessions can be held in the Vallarta Tequila Tastings Garden or arranged privately in a villa, and virtual formats allow remote participation.
Guides provide historical context, production notes, and tasting techniques to help guests refine their palates. The business emphasizes artisanal producers and lesser-known regional spirits that rarely reach North American markets. Tours are suitable for enthusiasts and curious newcomers, with specific experiences created for adventurous palates. Booking details, schedules, and availability are provided directly through the business; guests can select standard tastings, food pairings, chocolate pairings, or specialized journeys such as the Raicilla Road Trip. Sessions focus on agave varietals, production methods, and tasting vocabulary to deepen appreciation. Small-group sessions and private bookings accommodate personalized pacing and selection. Reservations are recommended to secure preferred dates and formats and dietary needs.
