Last November, while having a fantastic team lunch in Guadalajara, we were feeling adventurous and ordered a wine from Valle de Guadalupe to pair our scrumptious meal with. Next thing you know, we are making Baja California our first stop for 2020!

Boasting impressive architectural sites and a growing tech industry, Guadalajara is the second largest city in Mexico. It is also the land of tequila and mariachi, and it offers a perfect mix of culture and tradition. If you find yourself in Guadalajara for a couple of days and are looking for some tried and true spots to make the most of your time, read on!

Our nearly five-month adventure creating inspiring dining experiences in partnership with Patrón Tequila started back in early July. Full of anticipation, our team visited Hacienda Patrón – Patrón’s distillery in Jalisco – to learn about the tequila making process.

When our partnership with Patrón started to take shape, we knew we’d need to experience first hand what Patrón is about and see how they live their company values everyday. In early July, we headed to the Hacienda Patrón—Patrón’s distillery in Atotonilco El Alto, Mexico—and we were not let down!
