Amazing Experience
We had a great private tour. Carlos picked us up from the hotel and was so friendly. He suggested things for us to do and pointed out local spots while driving and sharing stories. Alex was our host and he was great. He led us on a tour and talked us through the process of making tequila. The tasting was amazing the chocolates were delicious! It was a beautiful property and relaxing afternoon. Would highly recommend.

10/10 Tour and Tasting Experience
The visit to Finca 18 was wonderful! Alex and Emily were both wonderful guides and we learned a lot about the agave growing and tequila distilling processing. The tasting and chocolate pairing were wonderful and a great value.

More than a tequila tour
This was the best tour I've taken. We had their driver - Carlos pick us up from PV. He was friendly and chatted with us the entire ride. Finca 18 is beautiful. The tasting room/distillery was massive and gave us an excellent location to 1st learn, see and then sip. Alex, our host was amazing: he was extremely knowledgeable about the entire tequila making process. He was alot of fun to learn from. And then the sipping. That was also a great time. Each tequila was sipped from a different vessel and paired with chocolates, allowing you to experience different aspects. I love that each tequila had it's own story - even sad ones. This place could have been a retreat on its own. And Luna & Chino - you've got to go pet them. I have a lot of pictures, but don't want to ruin the experience for someone else.

Awesome tour
The Finca 18 tequila tour was amazing and educational. Our tour guide Alex was awesome and explained the process of making tequila easy to understand. The tequila tasting and chocolate pairing was clearly explained. Will definitely recommend

Fabulous experience!!
This tequila tour and tasting was fabulous!! The finca grounds are absolutely stunning as soon as you drive in. Our table was set and ready for us with beautiful, traditional glassware. Our tour guide Alex was so warm, welcoming and knowledgeable. His passion for the tequila making process and finca lifestyle is so lovely and endearing. He is truly bilingual and did an outstanding job giving our tour in English so everyone in our group could understand. We all came away with a deeper understanding of the process of making an agave distillate, the aging process and each of the spirits we tasted were amazing! We also LOVED the fine chocolate pairings, we are chocolate lovers and have never had any chocolates like the ones presented in the tasting. We had a great time tasting the tequilas and combining them with the chocolates. 11/10 experience. Thank you Finca 18!!

Why this scores 87
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Finca 18 Puerto Vallarta Tequila Tour + Chocolate Pairing: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Puerto Vallarta.
How much does Finca 18 Puerto Vallarta Tequila Tour + Chocolate Pairing cost?
+
Prices start at $83 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Puerto Vallarta usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Finca 18 Puerto Vallarta Tequila Tour + Chocolate Pairing take?
+
Plan for about 2 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Puerto Vallarta is not rushed.
Is Finca 18 Puerto Vallarta Tequila Tour + Chocolate Pairing worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 87 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 452 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most highly reviewed in Puerto Vallarta, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Finca 18 Puerto Vallarta Tequila Tour + Chocolate Pairing?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Finca 18 Puerto Vallarta Tequila Tour + Chocolate Pairing suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Finca 18 Puerto Vallarta Tequila Tour + Chocolate Pairing?
+
Around 158 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Puerto Vallarta can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Puerto Vallarta and add a light layer if any part of the 2-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Finca 18 Puerto Vallarta Tequila Tour + Chocolate Pairing start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Puerto Vallarta within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Puerto Vallarta?
+
On Outty we rank every Puerto Vallarta experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Winner 2026 Downtown Vallarta Food Tour with Vallarta Food Tours, Taco Adventure Evening Food Tour with Vallarta Food Tours, Signature Taco Tour in PV with Vallarta Eats. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Puerto Vallarta?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Puerto Vallarta?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

+
