This latest engagement by PATRÓN aligns with India’s surge in interest towards tequila in recent years. With young consumers exploring tequila in a variety of forms, and cocktails like the spicy and refreshing Picante gaining popularity, PATRÓN is helping consumers immerse themselves in the culture and tradition behind their new favorite spirit. The tour welcomed an esteemed group of guests, including Ali Fazal, Neha Dhupia, Naina Bhan, Meghna Kaur, Nandini Bhalla, Sameer Bawa, Jatin Kampani, Mohit Rai, Rahul Gangwani, and Suneet Verma, alongside brand team members Adtu Tiwari and Aprajita Vij, to the iconic Hacienda PATRÓN estate for an intimate look at the crafting of PATRÓN’s world-class super premium tequila. 

The Hacienda PATRÓN estate serves as the home of the PATRÓN brand, located in the Mexican state of Jalisco, which is known for its production of high-quality tequila. By tradition, ​’hacienda’ refers to a large estate, that is managed by the ​’patrón.’ The estate’s location was carefully chosen for a variety of factors such as the mineral content of the soil, the acidity and taste of the water that is used to create the tequila, and its proximity to the region’s agave growers. The facility today has 14 tahonas or mills, the most in any distillery in the world. In 2017, the facility opened its La Casona guest house - inviting visitors to its 20 luxurious guest suites, an in-house restaurant, and the legendary Copper Bar.
