Description
The south of Sinaloa has a rich history in the planting and harvesting of blue agave. Through the years, the surrounding areas of Mazatlan have witnessed the settlements of numerous factory Haciendas called Vinatas. In 1876, the Osuna family started to plant and process the blue agave with such great success that more than 20 factories had to be installed to satisfy the high demand of the big cities. In the present time, inspired by this great history and heritage, the new generations of Osuna decided to reopen the factory that had been dormant for over 30 years. Their main goal is to keep innovating the manufacturing process to obtain the best quality for this famous Mexican drink, worldwide known as Tequila.
We will start our 25-minute drive heading north, and after a while, we will be surprised with the amazing view of endless fields of blue agave. Suddenly, among them appears Hacienda Los Osuna, a popular Tequila distillery. The view here is splendid, with a huge Huanacaxtle tree framing and shadowing this mystical hacienda dating back to the 19th century. The old-fashioned procedure as well as the modern technique will be explained to you by your tour guide.
Our adventure will be completed with a visit to La Noria, a nearby colonial town with rustic factories where local artisans work on handmade articles such as horse saddles, pottery, and leather goods like purses, belts, and sandals. For your appetite's enjoyment, La Noria has a large variety of traditional dishes such as the burros prietos (dark burritos) and mole enchiladas. Recently, some of the local ladies gladly opened their homes to offer restaurant facilities to sell these specialties at very reasonable prices.
