Dulce Vida’s liquid is co-crafted between two of Mexico’s most historic distilleries, Campanario (NOM 1443) and Trujillo (NOM 1634), in the Highlands of Jalisco, Mexico. Both distilleries utilize carefully grown organic agave from the same source in their Dulce Vida distillation process.

We’ve had a passion for perfecting every detail of our process long before it became trendy. For the past 15 years, Dulce Vida has been an industry leader in handcrafted quality, 100% agave, organic tequila and especially in our aged expressions, taking extra care and time, not rushing the process, to ensure every sip is pure and smooth. 

In addition to our 100% agave and organic ingredients, our quality can also be attributed to our unique production practice, where our team is actively engaged in every step, from harvest through distillation and aging. Every detail of our process is carefully curated, from the fields in Los Altos, Jalisco that contain nutrient-rich red soil to the mature, larger piñas we hand select that are higher in natural sugar content, creating tequila with sweeter flavor attributes.

There’s a reason so few tequilas can call themselves organic. We take pride in our organic farming and production processes, meaning our growing and production practices do not utilize any herbicides, pesticides, GMOs or other harmful production chemicals. The agave must be grown on land that has been free of these prohibited substances for 3 years. Even details such as the types of products used to clean our distillation equipment is carefully mandated to ensure organic from soil to bottling. This level of dedication allows us to proudly call our products Certified USDA Organic.

Yes, Dulce Vida is extremely proud of the quality of ingredients used to craft our tequilas: made with well water, mature agave and non-GMO yeast. Crafted with the simplest, high quality ingredients for the purest taste. 

Our only additional ingredient when necessary is time. We believe taking our time with our aged expressions yields the smoothest liquid.

Our tequilas are created from the simplest ingredients of well water, mature agave and non-GMO yeast. However, we do add a fourth component of time for our aged expressions. Here, our Reposado and Añejo tequilas are rested in American Bourbon Whiskey whiskey barrels for 11 months (Reposado) and 24 months (Añejo) to achieve their rich amber colors and unique full-bodied flavors. 

Our specialty aged expressions such as our Extra Añejo are meticulously aged for 5 years in Napa Cabernet and Merlot barrels, yielding a deep amber color and spiced oak aroma.

Sustainability has always served as a key factor in the selection of our production facility. Not only did it have to be capable of making a quality product, it also had to meet specific requirements for organic production and overall sustainability measures, ensuring that we’re being a kind partner to the environment and contributing to our local community wherever possible. 

All outputs from the production process such as fibrous waste from the agave plants and liquid by-products from distillation are strategically combined to yield an organically inert, ultra-rich soil nutrient. This soil supplement is then returned to the local farming community to improve overall soil and growing conditions.
