Distillery Profile
Casa Maestri Distillery, officially known as Destiladora del Valle de Tequila, stands as one of the most capable and versatile tequila producers in Mexico. Located in the heart of Tequila, Jalisco, the distillery operates at the intersection of tradition and modern scale, producing high-quality spirits while supporting the rapid global expansion of the tequila category.
At the center of the operation is Celia Maestri, a fourth-generation tequila producer whose more than four decades of experience have shaped both the quality and consistency of the distillery’s output. Under her leadership, Casa Maestri has built a reputation for producing award-winning tequila across multiple brands and expressions, reflecting a consistent commitment to quality that has been recognized at major international spirits competitions.
What distinguishes Casa Maestri is its ability to function as both a traditional distillery and a full-service production platform. The distillery produces 100% Blue Weber agave tequila with carefully developed flavor profiles while also offering extensive capabilities in blending, processing, and customization. This allows brands to create highly specific expressions tailored to their positioning, whether for premium sipping tequila or large-scale commercial distribution. Many of these partner brands have gone on to win awards and gain global recognition, further reinforcing the strength of the underlying production.
The infrastructure behind this operation is equally important. Casa Maestri operates multiple bottling lines that range from high-speed production to handcrafted runs, enabling it to serve both emerging brands and established global players. Production capacity is highly flexible, with the ability to add additional shifts as needed, ensuring that supply can scale alongside demand without compromising quality.
Over time, this combination of expertise and scalability has made Casa Maestri a central player in the tequila ecosystem. With more than 250 brands produced under its NOM, the distillery has become a trusted partner for companies seeking to enter or expand within the tequila market.
