Women have a long history of being the unseen forces behind cultural treasures, and the story of tequila is no exception. While men have traditionally received most of the credit for distilling and distributing this beloved spirit, women have played a crucial role in every step of tequila’s journey.
In Jalisco, Mexico, the heart of tequila production, it was women who were instrumental in cultivating and processing the agave plant. Women weren’t just nurturing the plants; they likely played a key role in developing the first fermented agave beverages, the precursors to modern tequila.
However, the narrative is shifting. Women are no longer content with remaining behind the scenes. A wave of female leadership is transforming the tequila industry and local communities. Today, you’ll find women as agave farmers, tequilera maestras (master distillers), community leaders, and even CEO.
This is why Gente Buena Foundation is honored to be a part of the Valor Women in Tequila Series- elevating the voices of women blazing trails towards a more equitable tequila industry!
