If you think Valle de Guadalupe is all fancy bottles and whispered tasting notes, think again. Viñadas lifts the dust off the vineyards and invites everyone to sip, chew, and laugh through the valley.
Behind it is Emprendedores del Valle de Guadalupe A.C., a coalition of over 200 local businesses: farmers, winemakers, chefs, brewers, hoteliers—all working together to prove wine culture can be fun and welcoming.
A Saturday for the senses
On September 6, Casa Luna hosts the first edition of Cosecha Bohemia. Tickets are 200 pesos. That buys a welcome glass, free tastings from 2–3 p.m., and access to a feast that feels like a tour of the valley itself.
Pork roasted vuelta y vuelta spins until it gleams bronze, smoky as a campfire night. Lamb tacos arrive dripping, earthy, and comforting. Ceviches sparkle like shards of citrus sunlight. Sushi rolls line up like bright mosaics. Paella steams golden with saffron, heavy and generous. Pizzas bubble with blistered crusts, the kind you burn your tongue on but forgive instantly. And then the cheese boards—little landscapes of nutty, creamy, salty bites waiting for the next sip.
Wines worth discovering
You’ll taste pours from Vinos ATP, Don Tomás, Contemplación, Meléndez, Xaroma, and Maglén. These aren’t names plastered on every list, but some already shine.
- Maglén earned two gold medals at the 2021 Mexico International Wine Competition .
- Vinos ATP’s Caballo de Dama snagged silver at the 2022 edition of the same competition .
Full disclosure—I haven’t tried them yet. I plan to on Saturday. Let’s discover together, one pour at a time.
Music, family, and bohemian flair
Wine is just the start. Live music and a bohemian-style show will set the rhythm. Families stroll. Couples dance. Friends laugh between bites, already promising to return for the next Viñada.
This is what Viñadas does best: make the valley approachable. Some say the experience has grown costly. Here, you get another way in—authentic, joyful, and not heavy on the wallet.
A calendar worth following
Cosecha Bohemia is one stop on a twelve-date journey. From May through November, Viñadas spreads across wineries, restaurants, and ranches. Each event blends wine, gastronomy, and culture, keeping weekends full and glasses never empty.
Collaboration is the valley’s secret ingredient. Together, the entrepreneurs keep Guadalupe vibrant, ensuring visitors leave with stained lips, full bellies, and stories worth retelling.
So mark the date. Casa Luna will be ready—doors open, music playing, and a glass waiting in your hand.
