About this trip

Featured Expedition

Where Food is Your Medicine, Wine is Your Wellness & The Spirit Guides You.

Tana Craighead founder of Cabo Wine Club

New Horizons. New Adventures.

Cabo Wine Club and Panterra Eco Expeditions are delighted to introduce a collaborative five-day, four-night journey through Mexico City and Querétaro’s celebrated wine country.

Discover the vibrant culture, art, and culinary traditions of Mexico City before exploring the region’s boutique vineyards and cheese producers. An exclusive luncheon hosted by a Cabo Wine Club Ambassador adds a special touch, featuring regional spirits, distinctive wines, and craft brews that celebrate Mexico’s evolving culinary scene.

Discover Mexico beyond the ordinary on a five-day journey exploring two distinct regions: the vibrant cultural heart of Mexico City and the wine, cheese, and culinary traditions of Querétaro.

In April, Mexico City welcomes the late jacaranda season, when touches of purple still grace the city’s historic avenues and neighbourhoods. Explore its rich blend of ancient heritage, colonial architecture, contemporary art, and everyday Mexican life. Discover the colourful streets of Coyoacán, the artistic legacy of Frida Kahlo, and the tranquil canals of Xochimilco aboard a traditional trajinera. Along the way, savour the flavours of Mexico through regional cuisine, craft beer, mezcal, and thoughtfully curated tasting experiences.

Then journey into the heart of Querétaro, where charming colonial towns, rolling landscapes, and a celebrated wine and cheese culture offer a different perspective on Mexico. Wander through Tequisquiapan, discover the craftsmanship behind regional wines and artisan cheeses at San Juanito Winery, and experience the culinary traditions and local character that define this distinctive region. The journey concludes with a visit to the impressive Peña de Bernal, one of Mexico’s most remarkable natural landmarks, before transferring to Querétaro International Airport.

From the art, history, and spirited energy of the capital to the flavours, traditions, and landscapes of Querétaro, this is an invitation to experience Mexico through its culture, creativity, cuisine, and people.

Pace: Easy to moderate, with plenty of immersive walking and opportunities to explore at a leisurely pace.
