Take a Wine Lover’s Journey

Nestled amid the rolling hills of central Mexico, San Miguel de Allende offers more than just cobblestone streets and colonial charm. Here, a burgeoning wine scene attracts discerning palates with its unique terroir and innovative spirit. At the forefront of this movement lies Viñedos Tres Raíces, a winery dedicated to crafting exceptional wines and fostering unforgettable guest experiences.

A Sensory Exploration: The One-Hour Tasting
For wine enthusiasts seeking to deepen their appreciation for the art of viticulture, our V Life program has partnered together with Viñedos Tres Raíces to offer an unparalleled one-hour tasting experience. Led by the winery's experts, this intimate journey delves into the world of Tres Raíces wines through a unique combination of education and exploration.

The experience begins with a tour of the state-of-the-art facilities, where you gain insight into the painstaking winemaking process — from grape selection to bottling. But Viñedos Tres Raíces goes beyond technical aspects. Here, the focus is on creating a sensory connection with the wines.

Through interactive exercises, you can learn to identify the subtle nuances of aroma, color, and taste that define each varietal. Expert guidance will help you distinguish the floral notes of a Sauvignon Blanc from the rich, earthy tones of a Malbec. This multi-faceted approach allows guests to truly appreciate the complexity and character of each Tres Raíces creation.

Become a Winemaker for a Day: Crafting Your Own Blend
V Life also offers an exclusive “Winemaker for a Day” program at Viñedos Tres Raíces for the truly devoted wine aficionado. This immersive experience gets you to step into the shoes of a professional winemaker to create your own unique blend.

The program begins with a comprehensive tour of the production winery and the underground cellar, where participants gain firsthand knowledge of the winemaking and aging processes. Then, it’s time to taste the wines, extracted directly from the barrels used for the workshop, creating a connection to the distinct characteristics of each varietal that’s easier to appreciate.

Under the expert tutelage of a winemaker, each group is guided through the art of blending. Experimenting with different combinations of Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah, you can discover how seemingly simple changes in composition can dramatically alter the taste profile of the final product.

The culmination of this program is the bottling and labeling of your very own creation. Guests get to personalize their bottles, taking home a tangible memento of a very special day as a winemaker.

Beyond the Grapevine
A visit to Viñedos Tres Raíces is more than just a wine tasting; it's a cultural immersion. The winery’s architecture, a blend of modern and traditional elements, reflects the region’s rich heritage. The surrounding vineyards, bathed in warm Mexican sunshine, offer a picture-perfect backdrop for a boldly flavorful experience.

Tres Raíces also proudly showcases its Mexican roots through its commitment to using locally sourced ingredients. The winery’s on-site restaurant, Restaurante Terruño, pairs exquisite dishes with the wines grown and bottled on site, creating a culinary experience that celebrates the bounty of the region.
