Jose Cuervo Tequila Train (Guadalajara/Jalisco, Mexico)

[TaseMeBro]

Aside from some passing mentions, I haven't seen any discussion of this tourist line come up here.

Has anyone tried out the "Tequila Train" between Guadalajara and Jalisco?

It's a short trip - you can do either train out and bus return, or bus out and train return, with the day focused on tequila tasting, touring tequila facilities, and trying out local food.

I've got a trip planned in a few months with friends, just curious if any has any first hand experience or tips. Planning to fly in to GDL the day before. Day after, either fly back home from GDL or perhaps continue to PVR for a night, then home.

About the name you chose for this post, a long time ago a friend gave me a Jose Cuervo travel blanket. Apparently he got it as a freebee for drinking too much. Anyhow, if you see a lady with a bright yellow rolled up travel blanket with a Jose Cuervo patch on the corner, that's me!

Hmmm... they call the train cars wagons?

A few places in the Spanish speaking world call train cars "vagón (de tren)", so I suspect it's a artefact of that.

Yeah. In Europe quite often they refer to carriages as "wagons".

And a sleeper as a wagon lit, literally "sleeping wagon."

Coming to think of it, Wagon is a French (Wagon) -German (Wagen) thing. The Italians I believe call them Carozza (as in Carozza Leti) or something like that.
