Vino virtuosos and amateur aficionados have the choice of two festivals over the next month, offering the opportunity for both education and enjoyment.
The Al Vino Vino Festival takes place at the Conjunto Santander de Artes on Saturday, February 17 and Sunday, February 18. Featuring 50 Mexican and international wineries, patrons will be offered tastings, workshops, food trucks and a restaurant zone. There are two ticket prices: 850 pesos for general admission, which includes a free glass of wine, and 1,650 for VIP access, which has additional privileges such as private hospitality, a free cup holder, hat, and a “surprise tasting.”
There are multiple tastings of different varieties of wine held throughout the day, all of which can be previously booked online for 100 pesos each.
