A Gem of the Mexican Altiplano

Nestled in the heart of the Mexican Altiplano, the Bodega Dos Buhos vineyards stand tall at an altitude of 2,000 meters (6,600 feet). Surrounded by panoramic mountain vistas, these vineyards are a testament to the synergy between nature and man.

Climate and Terrain

This high-altitude location is blessed with a dry and temperate climate, boasting average temperatures that swing between 15 to 25 degrees Celsius (59 to 77 degrees Fahrenheit). The vineyards thrive in volcanic soil, enriched by a blend of sand, clay, and limestone.

A Medley of Grape Varieties

Bodega Dos Buhos showcases a diverse range of grape varieties. The vineyards flourish with Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Malbec, Nebbiolo, Tempranillo, Sauvignon Blanc, and Chenin Blanc. These vines are meticulously trained using the traditional Guyot method. This results in a low canopy, promoting adequate air circulation and sunlight exposure, key factors in preventing disease and ensuring optimal ripening.

Winemaking Process

Harvesting is an art at Bodega Dos Buhos. Grapes are handpicked and swiftly transported to the winery for processing. In homage to time-tested traditions, the winery employs minimal intervention techniques. After fermentation in stainless steel tanks, the wines mature gracefully in French oak barrels for 12 to 18 months.

An Emblem of Organic Farming

Taking a step forward in sustainable farming, Bodega Dos Buhos is proud to be certified organic. Emphasizing methods that bolster soil health and biodiversity, the vineyard refrains from using synthetic pesticides or herbicides. Moreover, they adopt an eco-friendly approach by irrigating the vines with collected rainwater.

Experience the Enchantment

    Pretty cool Mexican winery. Our first time tasting in San Miguel, different than Guadalupe. Most are only open Wednesday to Sunday. To taste at this place you need an appointment and only available if you do a tour. We have done lots of tours and just wanted to taste there wine, so they said we could go to there restaurant and get a glass of different wines. The server was super nice, it was a little challenging as she didn’t speak English and we are trying to learn Spanish but we were able to try four different wines. They were good. Not my favorite, but we only had a few. The place is cool, lots of unique plants and they have an organic garden, take time and walk the grounds. We saw the reviews about the pizza and we decided to try it and it was good but it came out warm, not hot, disappointed about that. Wife got a kale salad that was good, overall it’s a place to check out

    Wow! What an incredible experience. Our guide, Angel, was extremely knowledgeable and personable throughout our tour. It was the best tour we’ve ever had. It was engaging, unique, and fun—not cut and dry like others. The food was also FABULOUS! Hands down, the best meal we’ve had in San Miguel so far. Way better than the Rosewood and for a much better value too. I would highly recommend coming here for a fabulous day, filled with delicious food and organic wine.

    My wife and I visited today. It was a spectacular experience for us both. We showed up around 11:00 am without an appointment. Everyone truly went out of their way to make us feel welcomed. Our bilingual tour guide, Diana, was absolutely amazing. Diana was very knowledgeable, highly personable, and really energetic. She taught us a lot. Besides the wine, we also enjoyed walking the grounds on our own. Burros, chickens, cats, and flora of many different kinds. Just absolutely beautiful. Stayed for lunch and had some outstanding margherita pizza. This was my first vineyard tour in Mexico and nothing is going to top today's experience. I don't need to visit another vineyard or winery in San Miguel. There is no need to do so. Thank you for a perfect afternoon!

    Highly recommend spending a couple of hours visiting Dos Buhos. We spent an early Sunday afternoon at the vineyard, did the tour and tasting, explored the property and had a wonderful lunch at the restaurant. They can do the tour in both English and Spanish. Staff are very friendly. The property is very lovely with lots to explore.

    First time at this winery today. What a beautiful place. Customer service at its best. Angel the sommelier giving us the tour, the wait staff at the excellent restaurant, and the owners - all were so friendly and helpful. A true family style winery. First experience for me with mexican wines. I would say they are very compatible with several larger wine regions of the world- and I have been to quite a few. Very much recommend a visit for anyone living in or visiting SMA.
