Timeline
09:00
Arrive at La Casa de Doña Lupe right when it opens. Weekdays are significantly quieter than weekends, so you will have the small, historic winery to yourself. Take your time walking the grounds and absorbing the history of Doña Lupe Yi, who started producing wine here in 1968.
10:15
Walk 16 minutes to Wa Kumiai Tabita for lunch. This family-run spot serves a unique fusion of traditional Mexican cuisine and ancient Kumiai methods. The menu features locally sourced ingredients and dishes inspired by indigenous techniques, offering a distinct flavor profile that complements the valley atmosphere.
11:15
Return to La Casa de Doña Lupe for a relaxed afternoon. With lunch done, you can browse the small production area or sit quietly. The winery produces only about 1,200 cases a year, so the experience remains intimate and unhurried compared to the larger commercial estates.
