They also have a wonderful selection of wines to enjoy during your stay, making it a true treat for both beginners and seasoned wine lovers. What makes ICAVI stand out is Alex Galia, an avid and deeply knowledgeable sommelier. He took the time to walk me through the many characteristics of wine, showing me how to recognize and decipher the variety of flavors and aromas in each glass. Alex's passion for wine is contagious, and his ability to teach in such an approachable, engaging way makes the experience both educational and enjoyable. I learned things about wine I never knew before--and left with a whole new appreciation. I highly recommend visiting ICAVI and spending time with Alex before heading out to do any wine tasting in SMA. You'll gain insights and knowledge that will truly elevate your tasting experiences throughout the region. This was one of the highlights of my trip!

The guide did an excellent job explaining the food and wine, and the winery is remarkable for its extensive experimentation. I believe they have something like 30+ varietals planted with a core group or four or five that make up the majority. Yes, there are olive trees here too! Their climate might mirror some other wine regions in the world, but when combined with their elevation they have a unique canvas to work with for production. The favorite of the tasting was the Cuna de Tierra Blanco, Semillon - Sauvignon Blanc blend in pre-fermentation and carbonic maceration. Malolactic in French oak barrels. Wow! After the tasting there was a tour of the grounds in a very comfortable wagon pulled by a tractor. Open air and wonderful 360º views all the way around. There was a stop at a viewing platform where you could take in the surroundings and pause for a photo moment as well. Coming back to the main building, the tour continued into the processing and storage area. However, the best part was returning inside where everything started to purchase a couple of bottles to take back home. Unfortunately, this is not something I am going to find in any store back in the US. And, don't ask, no one is going to ship alcohol across boarders.

In addition, personalized driving tours are offered in late model cars, generally just a single couple or family per tour.

My wife and I first took the 2 hour city tour, which was actually less expensive that that big city tour "bus" on which narration is only is Spanish. We were so pleased with our cheerful, personable, and historically knowledgeable driver, Uriel, that we have since complete 2 additional all day tours (again, just the two of us and driver), to cities well outside Queretaro, including Pena Bernal and Guanajuato.

The wine (vino tinto) options, particularly regarding their reds depends on your taste. If you're accustomed to full body award winning wine from places such as Napa, Sonoma, Paso Robles, etc, then you'll likely be highly disappointed. Their wines are very lite, overly fruity, and have little tannins. However, if you enjoy/prefer sweet whites & reds, you'll likely find something you like. Pro-Tip: They DO NOT offer wine tastings, so be very selective on the bottle purchase. Although, you can purchase some of their wines per glass, however with the cost of two glasses of wine, you can get an entire bottle.

If I were rating just the vineyard, I'd be a little more kind. But the wine absolutely sucks. Then again, that's true for just about all Mexican wine. I keep giving them a chance, not only from this region but also from Baja California and I have yet to find one I like. The vineyard grounds are very cool and the food looked good at the restaurant, though I can't speak for its taste. There are three main areas where you can sit: at the restaurant under the tent, on the grass in front of the tasting bar where you can also buy bottles. And a large open area in front of the grass before the bar. Four of us got two bottles of wine. A reserve Cab and a young Syrah. Both sucked, but some employee (presumably) did us a huge favor by jacking one of our bottles while we went and took a picture. A solid 1/3 of the bottle remained but his or her quick nab didn't upset me.
