HISTORIC PRESERVATION at Agave Landscape and Ancient Industrial Facilities of Tequila.
The site preserves blue agave fields, traditional haciendas, and distillery buildings including stone tanks, ovens, and fermentation vats associated with tequila production, with much of the industrial fabric still in active use rather than preserved as a static ruin. It is protected as a World Heritage Site under Mexican federal heritage authorities, with individual distilleries privately owned. Access varies by property, with some distilleries offering ticketed tours and the wider agricultural landscape visible from public roads.
About Agave Landscape and Ancient Industrial Facilities of Tequila
The agave landscape around Tequila, Jalisco, has been cultivated since the sixteenth century by growers who combined indigenous agave-fermentation traditions with distilling methods introduced under Spanish colonial rule. Haciendas and factory distilleries expanded through the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries to supply growing markets. The area became the historic heartland of Mexico's tequila industry.
