The second day of my journey through the land of tequila took me to the red fields of Los Altos in Jalisco. Arandas is about a two-hour drive from Guadalajara and is home to some of the newest and most innovative brands of tequila.
The first distillery of the day was Cazadores, the makers of both Cazadores and Corzo tequilas. A stunning, open view of the countryside holds the beautiful, contemporary buildings of this distillery. Visitors are greeted with open arms into the glass paned center that houses the distillery's bar and showroom. Through one of the transparent walls is a clear view of workers putting the finishing touches on each bottle before it is packed for shipping. The entire distillery is modern with a homey, calming feel that is pleasant to wander around in.
