Tequila, a proud spirit

Foodie Things to Do in Cozumel: Tequila Tasting Tours

Distilled from the blue agave plant, tequila is a proud spirit – and the most iconic drink of Mexico. Learn all about this traditional libation during your visit to Cozumel on a Flavors and Traditions of Mexico tasting tour.

While tequila was first brewed in the region of modern-day Jalisco, you’ll encounter plenty of the distilled spirit on the island of Cozumel. The Aztecs first brewed a fermented beverage from the agave plant, and the Spanish conquistadors adopted the process in the 16^th century. Tequila is one of North America’s first indigenous distilled spirits.

Whether you like your tequila in a cold margarita or straight up with a slice of lime, you can explore this iconic treat on a Flavors and Traditions of Mexico tasting tour.

This delicious tour is one of the most popular add-ons at our water park, and it begins with a stop at Mexico Lindo. You’ll learn about the traditional distillation process during a “Tequila 101” course, discovering the secrets of the blue agave plant. Try an assortment of fine tequilas and savor the nuances of flavor – and take a few samples with you for “homework.”

But the tequila tasting is only the beginning. The tour also includes a trip to a chocolate workshop followed by a creative cooking class where you’ll create a fabulous three-course meal. Pricing is $99 per person – book today and explore the proud spirit and rich culinary heritage of Mexico.
