Wine is a genuinely recent addition to this part of Mexico. Modern winemaking in the Guanajuato highlands only took root in the late 1990s and early 2000s, making it a young region compared to Baja California's longer-established vineyards — but one that's grown quickly since, helped by a high-altitude climate (much of the route sits above 6,000 feet) with cool nights and hot days well suited to grape-growing. The Ruta del Vino here runs roughly from the western edge of Dolores Hidalgo to the eastern side of San Miguel de Allende, and this tour covers two of its real, working wineries.

Santísima Trinidad is the more traditional of the two stops, typically pouring a sparkling rosé, a Sauvignon Blanc, a Merlot, and an aged red wine, paired with local food. Tres Raíces — named, by its owner's own account, for their three children — is the newer, more design-forward winery on the route, with its own restaurant, cellar tours, and vineyard walks alongside tastings of its own Sauvignon Blanc, rosé, and red blend. Both aim for a low-intervention style with minimal additives, closer to traditional small-estate winemaking than to large-scale industrial production.

The day also reaches into Dolores Hidalgo's historic center — the town where Miguel Hidalgo rang the church bells and launched Mexico's War of Independence on September 16, 1810 — and the Sanctuary of Atotonilco, a church whose interior is covered almost entirely in 18th-century murals painted largely by one artist, Antonio Martínez de Pocasangre, over a project that spanned roughly three decades. The scale and color of that mural work has earned the sanctuary its popular nickname, "the Sistine Chapel of Mexico," and UNESCO inscribed it alongside San Miguel de Allende as a joint World Heritage Site in 2008.
