2. What do you do in a wine tourism tour?
On a wine tourism or enotourism tour experience, you will be able to see the vineyards, the views of which are simply spectacular since they are large hectares of grape crops that seem to have no end. Afterwards, they will explain to you the whole process of wine elaboration and they will take you to know the cellars where they store the barrels for their fermentation and aging. We recommend you pack some warm clothes, as the temperature in the cellars is low for the correct conservation of the wine.

You will learn about the world of wine-making and you will be able to recognize better the variety of wines offered at your next meal in a restaurant.

When to book a wine tourism tour?
Wine tours in Mexico are held all year round, although we recommend doing them between spring and autumn so that the vineyards are full of life and color. The harvest takes place between the months of May and August and these are the dates when the wineries celebrate their harvest. We recommend that you take a tour during these dates since the celebrations include various activities for visitors.
