Casa Madero - Gastro Obscura

"Only vines grown in the toughest soil conditions produce the best grapes; their roots have to fight for every last drop of water year after year. Likewise, the wine estate, now known as Casa Madero, has for over four centuries continually adapted, making it one of North America’s oldest vineyards. The story began in 1567 when the Spanish arrived in the Parras Valley looking for gold; instead, they found an abundance of wild vines and fresh springs. A couple of decades later in 1594, the Jesuits, who had a long history in viticulture in Europe, arrived and produced the first wine in the region. And just a year later , Spanish conquistadors established Hacienda San Lorenzo as a Jesuit mission. These monks, first the Jesuits and then the Franciscans, established the winery at the mission. In 1777, a visit from Fray Agustín de Morfi, an illustrious Franciscan historian, attested to their success “… The cellar occupies the ground floor of the house, we find it well provided with wine and brandy, which is distilled for ten stills. Don Antonio Esparza, its administrator, assured us that there is a score of about 3 million plants, well equipped with water because there are abundant eyes of water and 1,000 arrobas of wine and 700 of brandy benefit from there. However, the strong relationship between the Spanish and the Jesuits that enabled the success of the winery started to deteriorate, and in 1767 the King of Spain ordered the expulsion of the Jesuits. After it was abandoned, the site fell into disrepair. Fortunately, the Madero family saw the potential in the winery, bought the estate in 1893 and brought the production back to its former glory. They salvaged the infrastructure the monks left behind. This included rebuilding the winery’s production amongst the former monastery and revitalizing the basement of barrels. Furthermore, they restored the church, that the monks built, which is a central focus at Casa Madero. The vineyard faced a number of challenges still. In the late 1800s, an outbreak of the phylloxera parasite devastated the vineyard. The Maderos adopted a grafting technique, implanting a European grapevine into the roots of an American plant, thereby circumventing the parasite’s attack. Just like the ramifying roots of the grapevine in search of minerals in dry soils; the vineyard winery has likewise found ways to “branch out” to adapt, survive and thrive. Today, the vineyard is proud of its centuries-old roots and fine wines. Know Before You Go A guided tour of the vineyard and winery costs roughly 1000 pesos. You book in advance or turn up on the day, and hope that there are still places. The tour includes wine tasting." - edwardwoolley

Great place to leant history. I enjoyed the tour a lot. Only bad review would be that the tasting is not included or that you don't get to taste the process like in other vineyards. Tasting is 300 pesos. Still. Very enjoyable. Place full of history. Oh and the church rocks!

Where can I start??... perfect place to spend one full day with family or friends if you have time take the two tours and the tasting route. Awesome place you will take a lot of picture over there the prices are ok and the wines are cheaper that a super market. The wine is one of the best of Mexico.

Very beautiful winery, a lot of history behind it. The wine is delicious ( no tasting only for sale), and the guided tour is really cool. Overall, a great experiance!

The place is beautiful! Because of the pandemic, you need to make reservations at least a day before for the tour but you can enter to the gardens and store for free. The church is very pretty too. The wine they sell is more expensive than the local wine you can find in Parras but still affordable

This place was wonderful to visit. The views and history is really impressive and take you back in time. We did the tour with the wine tasting and it was phenomenal. I definitely recommend to anyone. We went in mid March and the grape plants were beginning to grow, if you want to see them in full bloom it’s best to attend in late July or August. Definitely a experience and the town also has a lot of history and great dining options. Recommend for a weekend getaway.

THE BIG: Oldest winery in North America! Founded in 1597 and still produces wines in the Parras valley of Northern Mexico. Giant estate with sprawling grape vines. Plenty of parking inside and the guard will check if you are on the list. THE BLACK AND WHITE: First stop on our wine tour of Parras valley and we started off with a bang! We were here for the 10:30am tour that included a car ride of the estate, then we transitioned into a walking tour of the wine production area with gorgeous vines adoring every walkway. Then we did our tasting of 3 wines with pairing. We had a chardonnay with goat cheese that was absolutely delicious! Then we had their merlot and then reserve malbec. The reserve malbec was great on its own, however the winner goes to the chardonnay and goat cheese pairing imo. THE FINAL BAMBOO: Overall a tasting was 1050 MXN. Pretty hefty but the ambiance of the tour and tasting the wines with charcuterie made it all the better. Highly recommend!
