Valle de Guadalupe: Rondo del Valle Winery Tour & 5-Wine Tasting

Summary

Explore Rondo del Valle’s cellar with a guided tasting of five wines

You’ll step into Rondo del Valle’s cool underground cellar with a local guide, taste five distinct wines (reds, rosé, white), and hear stories behind each pour. Expect sensory surprises — from barrel scents to crisp flavors — plus friendly faces who know their craft. It’s not rushed or fancy; just honest wine in Mexico’s Valle de Guadalupe.

What’s the experience like?

You know that feeling when you step into a place and the air just smells different? That’s how it started at Rondo del Valle winery in Valle de Guadalupe. We’d barely walked past the gravel drive when our guide, Elena, greeted us with this easy smile — she had purple stains on her hands from the morning’s work. The sun was already warm but inside the cellar it was cool, almost damp, and I caught this faint whiff of oak barrels mixed with something earthy. Not what I expected, honestly.

We tried five wines — three reds, a rosé, and a white — each poured slow enough that you could watch the color catch the light. Elena told stories about each one; apparently the rosé is made from grapes picked before sunrise (she laughed when I asked if that meant they were half asleep). The white had this crispness that made me think of green apples, but maybe that’s just me. There was bread to nibble between sips and someone in our group kept asking about fermentation — I pretended to understand more than I did.

The underground cellar tour was quieter than I thought it’d be. You could hear your own footsteps echo off the stone walls. Elena explained how they control temperature down there — she pointed at this old-looking gauge and said it’s been stubborn for years. She seemed proud of it though. By the end, we wandered back outside and the light felt too bright for a second. I still think about that last red we tasted; can’t remember its name but it lingered longer than I expected.
