Casa Sauza (La Perseverancia)
Casa Sauza – Destilería La Perseverancia
A historic distillery founded by the Sauza family in 1873, with tours that include the agave fields, the distillation hall and a tasting in the garden.
Sauza is a veteran tequila brand, rivaling José Cuervo. Its La Perseverancia distillery is located on the west side of the old town and within walking distance. Tours usually begin in the demonstration agave fields, where a jimador shows how to cut agave hearts, then move on to the steam ovens, fermentation and distillation halls. Finally, in the garden of the Sauza family's former residence, Quinta Sauza, you can taste tequila and learn to mix a margarita. English and Spanish tours run on limited schedules, so it is advisable to book in advance on the official website. Weekends and holidays are very crowded.
