Every year, Guanajuato hosts one of Mexico’s most anticipated wine celebrations — the harvest season. Known as las vendimias, these festivals celebrate the grape harvest and bring together wine enthusiasts, food lovers, and travelers from across the country. What makes Guanajuato so special? Not only is it Mexico’s fourth-largest wine producer, but its vineyards are also among the most scenic and diverse, spread across rolling hills, colonial towns, and valleys with centuries of history.
A Celebration of Wine and Culture
During the vendimia season, visitors can enjoy far more than just wine tastings. Imagine sipping award-winning vintages while pairing them with both traditional Mexican dishes and gourmet international cuisine, all surrounded by the festive spirit of harvest. Beyond wine and food, these events often feature music, dancing, grape-stomping rituals, and artisan markets, making them a full immersion into Guanajuato’s vibrant culture.
This year, until October 19th, 2025, ten vineyards across six municipalities will host their own vendimia celebrations, each offering a unique flavor of Guanajuato’s wine scene.

The Origins and Diversity of Guanajuato’s Wine Country
Though Guanajuato’s modern wine boom is relatively recent, the region’s roots go back to colonial times when Spanish settlers first planted vines in its fertile soil. Today, vineyards such as Cuna de Tierra, Dos Búhos, Santísima Trinidad, San Lucas, San Miguel, and Los Remedios not only produce award-winning wines but also offer unforgettable experiences — from boutique hotels and restaurants to horseback riding and art galleries among the vines.
This blend of history, innovation, and landscape is what makes Guanajuato’s vendimias a highlight of Mexico’s wine calendar, on par with the country’s most renowned wine regions.
