Tequila Alderete

The Spirit of the Highlands

Crafted by third-generation farmers intentionally growing agave that highlights the bright floral notes and delicate citrus aromas of the Jalisco Highlands, Tequila Alderete reflects our deep reverence for the land and our family’s belief that generosity invites connection.

A Legacy Built In The Field

Over 75 years ago, Jesus Alderete left Jalisco for California’s Central Coast, where he immersed himself in the art of cultivation. Among California’s renowned fields, vineyards, and orchards, he learned to farm with reverence. He embraced the lessons of the land, discovering how to allow it to speak for itself through the distinct flavors that reflect its true nature.
