The tasting taught us so much about Raicilla/Mezcal/Tequila and was able to better understand and taste profiles. It’s a beautiful property and the drive out. Highly recommend.”

4.Horseback Riding & Swim: Tequila Tasting, BBQ & Margaritas

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 230 reviews · 5 hours (approx.) · from $113

Ride a calm, well-cared-for horse through rural Jalisco with guides such as Fabrizio, Martin, Valeria, Saul, and Rafa. River riding and swimming depend on conditions. Then taste blanco, reposado, añejo, and pink tequila, make salsa, and eat Mexican BBQ beside a pool at La Dulce Vista.

“What a day. It was awesome. I was worried not being in great shape and older but staff was so supportive. I loved la dolce vista. We are actually talking about the next time. Saul, Raphael and Val were wonderful hosts. I have rode a horse in 30 years but the horses were great and very well taken care of. Get off the beaten path and see a part of Mexico you will not see by yourself.”
