In a quiet corner on the outskirts of San Miguel de Allende, between dirt roads and hills covered in dry grass, a group of people will gather this Saturday, April 26th, with a simple yet profound purpose: to plant vines.
The event will take place at Ineffable, a small vineyard that has taken shape as a refuge for those seeking something more than just scenery.
There will be no stage or eloquent speeches.
The event begins at four in the afternoon, as the sun begins to set.
The hosts, Fernando Valadés and Lorena Okhuysen, have gathered a close group of friends to share an experience that looks at the origin of wine: the land, manual labor, and patience.
First, a relaxed conversation to understand what makes the vine special.
Then, everyone will take a shovel and crouch before a furrow: hands in the dust, young roots, names that will remain marked on still-imaginary labels.
This isn’t a decorative gesture.
The idea is for each plant to grow with the story of the person who planted it, as part of something that will take years to mature.
The day continues with a light meal, served right there in the middle of the vineyard.
Nothing luxurious, but carefully thought out: dishes paired with local varietals seem to close a small cycle between planting and sharing.
When the sun goes down, desserts, toasts, and quiet conversations will arrive.
More than an event, it’s a moment to reconnect with what is often taken for granted.
Plant something, wait for it to grow, and return later. Ineffable doesn’t impose an experience; it proposes one.
And it lets everyone decide how to experience it.
