The land between San Miguel de Allende and Dolores Hidalgo is covered with grapevines; there is the Wine Route in Guanajuato, a tour that will remind you of the freedom of the countryside and of the pleasure of drinking a good wine.

Cuna de Tierra

Guanajuato’s soil is fertile. Miguel Hidalgo y Costilla, the father of the country, knew it well at the beginning of the 19th century, and that’s why he planted vines and taught the people of Dolores how to make wine. That knowledge was lost sometime after the Independence, but the land remembers. About nine miles northwest of Dolores appears the one that Juan Manchón, Ricardo Vega and Ramón Vélez take care of with affection.
