Individual coaching 😋 - That evening I was wol the only interested party😉. That was a bit of a shame, but it didn't stop the event. The table was prepared invitingly and the short seminar was nevertheless highly motivated and competently conducted. I really learned something and expanded my tequila spectrum significantly. In short: I can clearly recommend this event!

Loved this little oasis of tequila. - Walking into this totally clean, beautiful, and organised bar. Everything perfect, precise and in its place, where it should be! The tequila tasting, the mescal, the cocktails. Everything just so and so well done! So welcoming too. A must. So good we went every night they were open!

Educational Tequila Tasting with Excellent Margaritas - My husband and I attended the Tequila Tasting at Tequila O’Clock a couple of weeks ago, and it was a wonderful experience. We were greeted with a delicious margarita made with tequila blanco, which set the tone perfectly. The space itself was very clean, warm, and inviting.
We were escorted to a table with three pours of tequila for each of us, each glass covered with what I understand to be a Mexican bingo card to help contain the aromas. Erika was amazing—warm, engaging, and incredibly knowledgeable. She walked us through the entire process of harvesting and producing tequila and mezcal, and taught us how to identify authentic tequila. We really enjoyed chatting with her and learning from her expertise.
She also served delicious cheese and olives alongside the tasting, which helped cleanse our palates between pours. My only complaint was that the music was very, very loud, and we had to ask a couple of times for it to be turned down—which felt odd given that we were there to listen and learn about the tequila-making process.
Overall, if you’re interested in learning more about tequila or simply want to stop by for excellent margaritas while in Holbox, I highly recommend Tequila O’Clock.

Fantastic experience - Erika, our host/guide, knew a great deal about the history of the tequila. She comes from the region of Tequila and you can feel her genuine interest and enthusiasm. We started by getting a margarita as a welcome drink, then being guided to taste 3 lovely tequilas. Erika guided on how to both smell and taste correctly. In addition also how tequila is made and how to know the difference between the different kinds. Fun and interesting experience as a couple, but would also be fun for family or group of friends.
Cozy intimate place, which is located right on the main street at Holbox.
I would recommend everyone to get a glimpse of the history of the Tequila at the Tequila O’clock.

Informative and delicious - Partner and I did the Tequila tasting and then came back for cocktails and tequila later in our stay. The tasting was great, a lot of information to take in but you will leave with a lot more knowledge then you entered with even if you forget half of it! As good as the tequila options are, the cocktails are the best we had on our trip across Mexico, all were perfectly balanced and expertly made.

tequila delicioso! - My friend and I had a great time with this experience. We were handed what may be the best margarita we've ever had when we walked in. After a brief set up an employee talked to us about how and where tequila is made and how to read the bottles. We then got to sample four more tequilas, and he explained the flavors and differences. It was fun and informative! We would recommend this experience to anyone who likes tequila and wants to learn about it.

Great experience!! - We loved this activity in Holbox. We received margaritas to sip on at the beginning while we learned all about tequila and how to properly taste. Then we tasted 3 different kinds and learned about each. Our is tractor was very knowledgeable and friendly, and the tequila was great! Thank you!!!

Fun time - We had a wonderful time and will take our new Tequila tasting skills and put them to the test! Haha
Experience was the perfect amount of time to taste some different tequilas, be educated about the history, and just chat prior to going out to eat.
