About
On this tour, we seek to guide tourists on their walk along the Wine Route, internationally recognized for the benefits of their land, its landscapes, and its wines.
We offer a tour through the vineyards of Valle de Guadalupe, starting with L.A. Cetto, the wine house with the most wine production in Mexico, internationally recognized and with a lot of tradition. There is a tour of the fermentation rooms where you can learn a little about the process of winemaking, then a tour in the barrel aging room with an explanation of what happens to the wine in the barrels (It depends on the availability). To finish it all up we have a tasting of wines from the different lines of the wine house.
Afterwards, Decantos wine is visited, which works by decanting or gravity. A project that was born with the idea of completely eliminating the mechanical pumping and using only the natural law of gravity, from the reception of the grape to its bottling. A visit is made to the wine house, its cellar and a tour of the wine making process (It depends on the availability). At the end, a tasting of the wines takes place.
