While many people adore Mexican spirits like premium Mezcal, the limelight does not shine bright enough on the incredible wine regions and producers who are revolutionizing Mexico’s wine production.

Here we’ll break down these regions to help you plan for your next travel to Mexico.

Most famous wine region in Mexico - Valle de Guadalupe, Baja California

The heart of the Mexican wine region, Valle de Guadalupe is the first place people visit when they begin to lear about Mexican wine. With a Mediterranean-style climate, the region produces many types of grapes like Sauvignon Blanc, Syrah, Nebbiolo, Chardonnay, and Mission, an autochthonous grape from Mexico. The growing food and wine scene is bringing Mexico’s fine dining  and fine wines to the forefront with restaurants like Conchas de Piedra. As Valle de Guadalupe has grown it has become the region with the most Michelin star restaurants in the continent per capita. 

With a variety of options such as Monte Xanic’s Viña Kristel, a very fresh and aromatic wine with notes of grapefruit and guava, to Vinaltura's fruity and toasted Dos Terruños which mixes grapes grown in here with other varieties from Querétaro.

Home to the oldest winery in the Americas, Casa Madero, Valle de Parras is sure to astound you with the variety of wine it has to offer. Casa Madero is located at the historic Hacienda San Lorenzo where visitors can enjoy tasting and tours while also having the opportunity to visit Parras de la Fuente, one of Mexico’s “Pueblos Magicos”. Casa Madero has received over 900 international awards, and is blending traditional practices with more innovative technology.

Mexico’s Wine & Cheese route - Queretaro

Querétaro’s Wine and Cheese mixes gastronomy, scenic landscapes, and cultural charm all in one unforgettable experience.
