Tequisquiapan, a charming town in Querétaro, Mexico, offers a rare blend of rustic allure and viticultural heritage that comes alive through the Ruta del Vino y del Queso experience by Globos Aerostáticos MX. This isn't your typical wine tour—it begins with a serene hot air balloon flight that lifts you above the rolling vineyards and cheese fields, where morning light spills across the landscape in golden hues. The thrill of floating gently over the countryside is crowned by a group toast mid-air and a personalized flight certificate, marking the start of a day steeped in local flavor and tradition.
Post-flight, guests gather for breakfast at the historic Hotel La Casona, setting a relaxed tone before the afternoon unfolds into a 4-hour guided journey. The tour visits Neole, a renowned artisanal cheese factory crafting unique local cheeses that capture the region’s rich dairy heritage. Cheese tastings here introduce visitors to textures and flavors shaped by traditional methods and fresh, local milk.
Next, the path leads to the famous Freixenet vineyards. As one of Mexico’s premier sparkling wine producers, Freixenet offers not only expansive, verdant rows of grapes but also a deep dive into the winemaking process. Here, guests savor tastings that highlight the nuances of varietals suited for the Querétaro climate—think bright, crisp notes that pair perfectly with the cheeses sampled earlier.
