A Family Owned Tequila House

Here, we’ve learned that only the hard work pays off.


That’s become our spirit.

The spirit of México.

HISTORY

We were born in 1943 out of the profound conviction of one man.

Don César García refused to compromise on the tequila he shared with his people. Instead of settling for what everyone else was doing, he built a distillery on his very own property, creating a standard that now, more than 80 years later, reaches over 50 countries all over the world.

In TEQUILAS DEL SEÑOR We still crush our agave with the same German mill from the 19th century that Don César used, located in the beating heart of the city of Guadalajara, in the old barrio “Colonia Atlas”. Most importantly, we’ve kept the same convictions.

Tradition and hard work make us who we are.
