Valle de Guadalupe is the pride of Mexican wine production and is responsible for 90% of the country’s wine production. This globally recognized destination has experienced remarkable growth over the last decade, boasting a vibrant community of boutique wineries and exquisite dining establishments that exude rustic charm and sophistication.
Pijoan Vineyard, the first stop, was a dream founded in 2002 by Pau Pijoan, a veterinary researcher who became a pioneer in the emerging Mexican wine scene. Vinos Pijoan’s philosophy aims to create honest wines that reflect the region’s arid climate and morning fog, incorporating the land’s history into each bottle.
The second stop and lunch destination, Adobe Guadalupe, is a sanctuary in the heart of the valley. Tru Miller’s vision has made it a true benchmark for quality in the region, and with winemaker Daniel Lonnberg at the helm for over 15 years, Adobe continues to shine in the Mexican premium wine scene.
