ONE TEQUILA, TWO TEQUILA, THREE TEQUILA, FOUR

10-25-2007

Take your taste buds to the next level with a journey back in time through Guadalajara, Mexico.  From expeditions to the blue-carpeted agave fields in the town of Tequila to traditional tequila tastings, Presidente InterContinental Guadalajara is ready to take guests on an exciting tequila adventure. Beginning December 20, sign up for the “Tequila Package” and receive deluxe accommodations, round-trip transportation to the town of Tequila, a tour of an agave plantation and tequila distillery, tequila tastings, and live Mariachi music, folkloric dance and Mexican cowboys as the entertainment.

 

Tequila embodies a 9,000-year history, with the same traditional fermenting process that has been used to harvest blue agave into tequila by ancient Mexicans. Walk the streets of Tequila and stroll through the fields with an agave harvester, or Jimador. Visit Mundo Cuervo, the oldest distillery in the Western Hemisphere and dance to the tune of live Mariachi music. Top it all off with a traditional Mexican cocktail – 100 percent blue agave tequila and a fresh slice of lime.

 

Following this excursion, tequila connoisseurs can test their newfound expertise at Presidente InterContinental Guadalajara’s new tequila lounge, which features 100 of the world’s best tequilas. For $20, guests can sample five different flavors of tequila and consult with an expert who will be on hand to help guide guests through the tasting experience.
