Group tasting - Star was a wonderful Agave guide. She came to our Air BnB during our girls trip. She is very knowledgeable and friendly. With the tasting you will learn about the growing, harvesting and distillation process as well as the difference between different agave spirts.

A trip to Puerto Vallarta would not be the same without Star and Chacha! - Several years ago I went on an amazing food tour and 6 years later rebooked another one just because I had such an amazing time! I couldn't remember which food tour company it was, so I just booked the company with the best reviews. In looking back on my pictures of my best foodie adventures I found a picture of Chacha! OH SO IT WAS THE SAME WONDERFUL FOODIE GUIDES AH! Since I've discovered Vallarta Local, I've gone on four foodie / tequila tasting adventures with Star and Chacha. Maybe I should get a repeat customer's discount?! There is something so special about eating authentic local food, with the enthusiasm and knowledge that both Star and Chacha share ..... We loved the taco tour so much, we've done that twice (the first time with Star, the second with Chacha) and always give Star's email address to all my friends who go to Vallarta. Last time, we had the Tequila and Mezcal Tasting at your place which was magical. We were staying at a hotel that did give me a serious hassle (just beware) however, we worked around that, and also ordered some additional food to pair with the tequilas and mezcal. It was a transporting experience. We are going BACK to Vallarta and plan on doing a bigger dinner thing, similar to the first time I went on a Vallarta Local foodie tour. I cannot recommend Vallarta Local foodie adventures enough! Star and Chacha expect us to contact you soon!

A Delightful Evening - Star does a tasting that is a cut above the rest. Not only does she only feature high premium agave spirits she usually gets them straight from the distributors and has all sort of interesting history and tidbits about the spirits. She will come to you and has a beautiful kit full of all sorts of treats. She has great knowledge and tips and tricks for enjoying the drinks too. I honestly will never view tequila or agave spirits the same way again. An incredibly kind and fun presence Star could make anything fun and is especially good at introducing people to the world of agave.

A wonderful experience - Star is extremely knowledgeable not only about tequilas and mezcal but also the local food and culture scene. She’s also a lovely and engaging host. We thoroughly enjoyed our evening with her and highly recommend this!

Suspect - Our guide was not terribly knowledgeable. Despite the description advertising ’how to spot a tourist trap’, we were sent to the biggest tourist trap store of them all, and told no less than 3 times to tell them who sent us. We were told that the duty free shops at the airport were tourist traps but they had the best prices of all. Lastly, I didn’t need to travel to Mexico to taste Cuervo!!
