Amazing Experience
X7579UGmichellet, September 2026
We had a great private tour. Carlos picked us up from the hotel and was so friendly. He suggested things for us to do and pointed out local spots while driving and sharing stories. Alex was our host and he was great. He led us on a tour and talked us through the process of making tequila. The tasting was amazing the chocolates were delicious! It was a beautiful property and relaxing afternoon. Would highly recommend.

More than a tequila tour
Connector41398876426, September 2026
This was the best tour I've taken. We had their driver - Carlos pick us up from PV. He was friendly and chatted with us the entire ride. Finca 18 is beautiful. The tasting room/distillery was massive and gave us an excellent location to 1st learn, see and then sip. Alex, our host was amazing: he was extremely knowledgeable about the entire tequila making process. He was alot of fun to learn from. And then the sipping. That was also a great time. Each tequila was sipped from a different vessel and paired with chocolates, allowing you to experience different aspects. I love that each tequila had it's own story - even sad ones. This place could have been a retreat on its own. And Luna & Chino - you've got to go pet them. I have a lot of pictures, but don't want to ruin the experience for someone else.

Fabulous experience!!
sabrinamX2252UU, August 2026
This tequila tour and tasting was fabulous!! The finca grounds are absolutely stunning as soon as you drive in. Our table was set and ready for us with beautiful, traditional glassware.
Our tour guide Alex was so warm, welcoming and knowledgeable. His passion for the tequila making process and finca lifestyle is so lovely and endearing. He is truly bilingual and did an outstanding job giving our tour in English so everyone in our group could understand.
We all came away with a deeper understanding of the process of making an agave distillate, the aging process and each of the spirits we tasted were amazing! We also LOVED the fine chocolate pairings, we are chocolate lovers and have never had any chocolates like the ones presented in the tasting. We had a great time tasting the tequilas and combining them with the chocolates. 11/10 experience. Thank you Finca 18!!
