"At Naviva, a Four Seasons Resort in Punta Mita, I joined a tasting workshop led by Arturo Dávila as part of the resort's in-depth agave programming; the property runs a Road to Raicilla that includes a Coastal Road boat across Banderas Bay with education about local flora and fauna and a Mountain Road that travels into the highlands of Jalisco, each offering local meals and one-on-one tours and tastings. The excursions are intentionally not the glamorous visitor-center experiences of other spirits regions but instead take you deep off the tourist trail for immersive education that benefits the local community." - Jake Emen
