The legacy of tequila goes far beyond the margarita. Learn the history of this complex spirit and of mezcal, another beverage made from agave, on a three-hour tour that includes a presentation and tasting of both. Your transportation brings you to a local restaurant where you'll learn how 2,000 years ago the Aztec people used fermented sprits made from the agave plant in ritual ceremonies. The Spanish conquistadors took a liking to it and began to distill agave themselves. During the presentation, you'll learn that Mexico produces four different varieties of tequila – Reposado (rested), Añejo (aged), Blanco (white), and Oro (gold) – and about the varieties of mezcal. Then, those 21 and up will have the opportunity to participate in a tasting session. Conclude with 60 minutes of independent sightseeing and shopping in the authentic town of La Crucecita. Return to your transportation at the designated time for a quick drive back to port.
