Aboard Jose Cuervo, Mexico’s Tequila Train

Yes, you read that right. You can now hop aboard the very special Jose Cuervo Express, often referred to as the Tequila Train, running between Guadalajara to Tequila in Mexico. As evident from its name, the train journey will include a very fine tequila tasting experience. A $109 ticket is all that you need for this tailored experience for tequila lovers. It, of course, will take you to Tequila, a town best known for being the birthplace of, well, tequila!
Tequila lovers aboard the Jose Cuervo Express have a lot more than the speciality drink tasting, there would be a flurry of Mexican cocktails, a tour of Cuervo distillery, as well as a short visit to agave fields. Those in the know will love the field visit, for blue agave is extensively used to make tequila. A tour of the town, Tequila, is on the cards too, and there is no skipping that.


The distillery tour is also a prime highlight of the Tequila Express, for the place is more than 250-years-old now. It also brings the perfect end to the tour, giving tequila lovers an apt high. The last day of the tour also leaves travellers with ample time to explore the town and know more of it.

Those interested in the landscape around can, of course, be in awe of the fact that industrial units and agave fields have been recognised as UNESCO World Heritage Sites since 2006.
