• Hacienda de Corralejo - Situated in the municipality of Penjamo, Guanajuato, Mexico, the Hacienda de Corralejo is a historic estate with roots in the late 18th century colonial era. Originally, it was dedicated to agave cultivation and tequila distillation.

The estate boasts a rich history, having once been owned by the renowned revolutionary figure, Miguel Hidalgo, who utilized it as a strategic base during the Mexican War of Independence. Subsequently, the Sauza family acquired the hacienda, transforming it into one of Mexico’s largest and most prosperous tequila distilleries.
