What is a Tequila Tasting?
A tequila tasting is a guided sampling of different types of tequila, often led by a sommelier or knowledgeable staff member at a bar or restaurant. The goal is to learn about the different flavor profiles and production methods of tequila.
Often, a tequila flight will be arranged so that you can compare and contrast the taste of different brands side-by-side. A typical tequila tasting may include 4-6 samples, but this will vary depending on the venue. Some tastings may also include light appetizers to cleanse the palate in between sips.

That said, there are many great brands of tequila that are produced in Mexico outside of Cabo San Lucas, so you will still have plenty to choose from during your tasting!
