Nestled among mountains and springs, Parras de la Fuente beats to the rhythm of wine.
This oasis in the heart of the Coahuila desert not only safeguards the history of American winemaking but has also reinvented itself as a premier wine destination.
Its semi-desert climate, calcareous soils, and the underground streams that nourish it create a privileged microclimate where the vineyard takes center stage and wine becomes its identity.
Since Casa Madero, founded in 1597, wine culture has guided the valley’s evolution. The oldest winery in the Americas continues to be a benchmark for the quality of its labels and its wine tourism. Around it, new wineries emerged that today express the contemporary diversity of Mexican wine.
The “Wines and Dinosaurs” Route has solidified this transformation. This tourist corridor combines paleontology and viticulture: among fossil remains and modern vines, visitors discover that the desert can also give life.
More than a dozen wineries, from family projects to internationally acclaimed labels, offer experiences that celebrate origin, terroir, and innovation.
Among the new generation, Camino Corazón stands out, a winery that understands wine as a sensory language. Their offerings invite you to connect with nature through art, music, and local cuisine.
Náufrago, on the other hand, represents the rebellious spirit of the contemporary winemaker: sincere, experimental, and expressive wines that reflect the freer side of Parras.
Don Perfecto, meanwhile, revives the artisanal essence of the valley; each bottle is the result of meticulous work between family, land, and tradition.
RGMX produces wines that reflect the character of the valley: intense, balanced, and with a profound mineral identity, as seen in their Scielo and Gran Amat labels.
The “magical town” of Parras is also a destination for emotions: walk among vineyards at sunset, participate in the harvest, or enjoy a wine pairing under the starry desert sky. Here, wine is both savored and experienced.
Casa Madero: Founded in 1597, this winery, made with Malbec and Shiraz grapes, is the oldest in the Americas.
Camino Corazón: Founded in 2016, this winery produces modern, aromatic, and balanced wines.
Náufrago: One of the newest wineries, it focuses on expressive wines that reflect the terroir. Limited production.
Don Perfecto: Named in honor of Don Perfecto, the family patriarch, this winery seeks to create honest wines with a touch of modern winemaking techniques.
RGMX (Rivero González México): Elegance and precision with a focus on sustainability and respect for the land.
