The Four Seasons Punta Mita in Mexico just put a new spin on the tequila flight experience.

The resort is offering the "Ultimate Tequila Tour" as a daylong immersion for lovers of the distilled blue agave spirit.

The nine-hour tour begins with a private helicopter ride from the resort to the town of Tequila, where guests tour the family-run José Cuervo distillery, a Unesco World Heritage site.

The first stop is the agave fields studded with more than 25,000 maturing blue agave plants, where a sommelier explains the process of jima (harvesting) and the growth cycle. Guests will be able to plant their own agave plant.

That is followed by a tour of La Rojeña, said to be the world's oldest distillery (established in 1795 at the time of the Spanish conquest), where a sommelier will discuss the varieties of tequila found onsite and take guests on a tour of the underground cellar to taste sips from a barrel.

At the distillery's cava (reserve vault) guests will be able to label and take home a Reserva de la Familia bottle in a wooden box painted by a Mexican artist.

Also included is a multi-course lunch at the distillery's hacienda, with live mariachi music. In the afternoon guests return to the cava for an information session on the blending process; each participant will help create a personal blend to take with them.

"The idea is to create a holistic and historical indoctrination of the region," said the general manager of Four Seasons Punta Mita, John O'Sullivan. "This is an opportunity to do something indigenously Mexican," he said.

Rates start from $20,000 per couple; Thomas Citterio, director of marketing at the property, said a substantial part of the price tag comes from the helicopter ride.

Reservations can be made with the concierge at the Four Seasons Punta Mita.
