Tequila, Agave spirit production center in Tequila, Mexico
The town of Tequila sits at 1201 meters elevation in Jalisco, surrounded by fields of blue agave plants used for spirit production.
The first commercial license for tequila production was granted to the Cuervo family in the late 18th century, establishing regulated manufacturing standards.
Mexican laws protect tequila production within specific regions, requiring strict adherence to traditional methods passed down through generations of skilled workers.
Visitors can observe the complete tequila-making process, from agave harvesting to distillation, at numerous production facilities throughout the region.
The red volcanic soil near Tequila creates specific growing conditions that enable the harvest of 300 million blue agave plants each year.
