Mazatlan Day Tour: La Noria village and Los Osuna Distillery

At Los Osuna Distillery, guests will be immersed in the artisanal world of blue agave and handcrafted tequila. Nestled in the countryside just outside of Mazatlán, this family-owned distillery offers a rare glimpse into the traditional methods of tequila production. Travelers will start with a guided walk through the agave fields, learning how the blue agave plant is cultivated and harvested. Then, they’ll explore the production area where the magic happens—from the old stone ovens and crushing machinery to the fermentation and distillation process. We will share stories of the Osuna family legacy, the unique production methods used here, and the difference between tequila and mezcal. To top off the visit, travelers will enjoy a relaxed tequila tasting session, sampling different varieties of Los Osuna's small-batch spirits under the shade of mango and tamarind trees. It’s not just a tasting—it’s a cultural experience filled with history, flavor, and the warm hospitality of Sinaloa.

Guests will enjoy a guided stroll through the cobblestone streets lined with colorful colonial-style buildings. The first stop is a local pottery workshop, where they’ll meet a friendly artisan who shapes beautiful clay pieces by hand using traditional techniques passed down through generations. It's a rare opportunity to watch him work and learn about this time-honored art form. Next, travelers will visit a rustic leather shop, a hidden gem where skilled craftsmen create custom-made saddles, sandals, belts, and other leather goods. Guests can see the process up close—cutting, shaping, and stitching—all done by hand using tools and traditions that have been preserved for decades. To complete the experience, the group will enjoy a delicious, home-style lunch at El Sazón de la Abuela Tina, a beloved local restaurant known for its warm hospitality and authentic Sinaloan flavors. Dishes are made with love and local ingredients, offering a true taste of the region.

As the day winds down, travelers will enjoy a relaxing drive back to the cruise terminal, taking in the scenic beauty of Mazatlán’s vibrant coastline. The return journey offers a leisurely sightseeing route along the famous Malecón, one of the longest oceanfront boardwalks in the world. Along the way, guests will pass by stunning beaches, colorful murals, historic monuments, and panoramic views of the Pacific Ocean. To make the most of the experience, the driver will make a couple of scenic stops for photos, giving travelers the chance to capture memorable moments with Mazatlán’s iconic landmarks, like the cliff divers, the crown sculpture, or the lighthouse hill in the distance.
