Before reaching the distillery itself the adjacent red dirt fields lined with tall, rock walls were an invitation to explore the colorful landscape. A planting demonstration, in which each young agave is planted by hand with care, was enlightening and furthered the appreciation I had for the grueling work of the jimadores that I gained the day before at Tequila Sauza.
