The ''Tequila Express'' (or ''Tequila Train'') is a Mexican regional train service that operates from Guadalajara, Jalisco, to the Tequila Herradura distillery at the San José del Refugio Hacienda in the municipality of Amatitán, Jalisco. Amatitán is approximately northwest of Guadalajara and southeast of the town of Tequila, Jalisco. The train service is so named because it features tequila tastings and transports its passengers through blue agave fields to the distillery in Amatitán and towards (but not into) the town of Tequila. The service began operating in 1997, concurrent with the elimination of general passenger rail service by Ferrocarriles Nacionales de México. The service is operated by Ferromex, owner of the Guadalajara train station and the rail line on which the service runs, under contract with the chamber of commerce. Service operates on weekends, usually from Friday through Sunday with sporadic trips on Mondays.〔 The excursion includes live mariachi music on board the train, a tour of the hacienda and distillery, as well as a dinner on the hacienda premises.〔〔 The train is quite popular especially during the ''Encuentro Internacional del Mariachi y la Charrería'' festival held in Guadalajara. ==See also== * Ferrocarril Chihuahua al Pacífico * List of World Heritage Sites in Mexico * Napa Valley Wine Train is a non-alcoholic beverage based tourist train that operates in the area formerly known as ''Alta California'' 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Tequila Express」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
