Museum of Tequila and Mezcal: Guided Tour + Tasting

About this experience

The Museum of Tequila and Mezcal is a dedicated cultural attraction in Mexico City, located at Plaza Garibaldi, the historic square known as the centre of mariachi music in the capital. The guided tour runs for two hours and covers the origins, production methods, and cultural significance of both tequila and mezcal, two of Mexico's most recognised spirits. Tequila is produced from blue agave in designated regions including Jalisco, while mezcal can be made from multiple agave varieties across several states, giving each its distinct character. The museum uses exhibits and interactive displays to trace this history from pre-Hispanic traditions through to modern distillation. During the tour, a live guide leads visitors through the permanent collection before the session moves into a structured tasting of premium spirits, covering the differences in flavour, aroma, and production between tequila and mezcal varieties. Plaza Garibaldi sits within easy reach of other Mexico City attractions, including the Palacio de Bellas Artes, making it a practical stop on a broader itinerary. Tickets cover museum entry, the live guide, all tastings, and applicable fees and taxes. Meals are not included. The attraction does not currently offer wheelchair access, and cancellation terms apply before a specified date.
