By Frank "Sugar" Hudson San Miguel de Allende is surrounded by a large wine growing area in the State of Guanajuato. I have visited several wineries outside of town on the roads to Querétaro and Comonfort.  Currently there are many wineries in the area with more being developed every day.

With Le Voyage Intime , each journey becomes a conversation between art, nature, craft and the self.

With reds, whites and sparkling wines coming from all parts of the country, it is truly a giant leap for the industry. México’s diverse climates from ocean-cooled valleys to high-desert plateaus and open highland plains there is always the perfect climate for growing grapes.
