Why should you discover Querétaro? 

Querétaro is known for its UNESCO World Heritage sites, its delicious local cuisine, and as a booming center for wine production. If you are thinking of traveling to Mexico, Querétaro is a must-visit destination.

 A Celebration of Sparkling Tradition

Querétaro’s elevation and semi-arid climate create ideal conditions for sparkling wines. At Freixenet México, visitors descend into 25-meter-deep cellars to discover the artistry behind their acclaimed cavas. The tasting experience—especially during the annual Fiesta de la Vendimia—is elevated by the convergence of Old World technique and New World innovation.

La Ruta del Queso y Vino

The region’s Cheese and Wine Route weaves through villages like Tequisquiapan and Bernal, offering intimate encounters with boutique vineyards and family-run cheesemongers. Here, you can try earthy goat cheeses paired with crisp Sauvignon Blancs or linger over a sunset glass of Tempranillo in a serene hacienda courtyard.

Culinary Excellence in Historic Santiago de Querétaro

The city is also home to a culinary renaissance. Amid its Baroque architecture and shaded plazas, restaurants like Mesón de Chucho El Roto and Gorditas El Güero y Lupita present thoughtful interpretations of regional Mexican cuisine. From traditional mole negro to creatively plated enchiladas, dishes are elevated with local ingredients and an eye toward global technique—and can be perfectly complemented with Querétaro’s delicious wine.

Not Just Wine

While Querétaro is gaining prominence for its wines, its craft beer movement offers another refreshing option. At Cervecería Hércules, housed in a restored 19th-century textile mill transformed into boutique hotel, inventive brews are poured alongside seasonal dishes in an industrial-chic setting. The brewery's raison d’être, rooted in sustainability and community, reflects how the region’s broader creative momentum extends well beyond wine.
