Tequila tasting

[herhona]

I am sailing on Freedom of the Seas next month and today it was spotlighted on the Travel Channel. The host did tequila tasting in Cozumel. My husband loves tequilla and I was wondering if it is worth it. Cost for ship excursion is about $70. I also was wondering if there was a better private tour! Thanks!

You can take a cab to either place.

I may be wrong, but I thinkt hat the place she did the Tequila tasting was at Mr. Sanchos and you can book this directly or with a travel company for around $40.

and I'll just add Hacienda Antigua is sampling only their tequilas. The one at Mr. Sanchos is a variety.

We did two on our last trip. First one was located on the road that goes to the east side, do not remember the name of the place. They give you a shot glass and turned us loose to sample whatever we wanted. Cost was not to much, seems like only a few bucks. Secound was at Mr Sancho's. Don't know the price as someone else bought it for us. Guy gives you a history lesson along with quite a few samples.

Do not spend money on any tour. I liked you thought tbought this but thanks to a sister was speared a cost. Go to Tequilari and save your money. The sister saw this on a shopping channel on Freedom and saved us money

There is a huge tequilaria on the main street right past the mall. They have literally hundreds of varieties and most of them can be sampled. You don't get a "tasting" session like you would on an excursion where they explain the subtle nuances and differences but it's free to sample, the prices are good and they'll negotiate. I doubt they'll crack open a $300 bottle to sample but plenty of good $50+ varieties are available (which would be closer to $150 here).

I did the tequila seminar at Mr Sancho's and LOVED it! We tried a bunch of different tequilas (two blanco, two reposado, one anejo, and two dessert) as well as having an excellent lunch. Learned a ton and developed a much better appreciation for tequila too! I've done several tequila seminars in other places, and this was by far the most enjoyable.
