Queretaro, Mexico Promotes its Wine Country

Queretaro is a tourist destination synonymous with excellence. Here, visitors can discover culture, history, gastronomy, and a wide corridor of vineyards where some of the best wines in Mexico are produced.

Recently, Queretaro's wines were presented to personalities from politics, culture, private enterprise, and entertainment.

The Wine Region receives around one million visitors annually and generates an economic revenue of more than 200 million pesos. There are vineyards in seven of the 18 municipalities in the state, in a little more than 600 hectares.

The state produces nearly 3.5 million bottles yearly in more than 100 labels; this region has even been considered "the new Napa Valley" by the International Travel Guide Travel Lemming.

The harvest season begins in August, and one of the traditional wine companies in the state is Freixenet, which has passion, family tradition, contact, and commitment to nature and values rooted in time.

The vineyard is only one hour away from Queretaro's capital city in the municipality of Ezequiel Montes. For those who visit its facilities, it is an experience because they will receive an entertaining and practical class on winemaking, learn about the cellars, the production process, and the storage of the final product.
