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.

5 months agoMy husband and I recently visited Dos Búhos on a trip to San Miguel and had a wonderful experience. The winery is located a short trip outside of SM and was easy to get to by Uber from the town. We booked a wine tour and tasting, and then had an excellent lunch (and more wine) on the beautiful patio overlooking the vineyards. We were not very familiar with Mexican wines, and this tour provided great insight into the industry and production at Dos Buhos. We were very impressed by all the wines we tasted on the tour and at lunch. Our guide was warm and welcoming and exceptionally knowledgeable about all the workings of the winery. Highly recommend the tour if visiting the winery. For lunch on the onsite restaurant, we had a delicious wood fired pizza to share and sampled a couple more glasses. One of the owners greeted us and offered us a tasting of some other unique wines. We had a lovely chat with him. Overall, visiting Dos Buhos was a highlight of the trip to SM for us. Thank you for such a memorable afternoon!

7 months agoMe and my family were at Dos Búhos at the end of August; the place is nice, we spent a pleasant time. We were a group of 11, 8 adults and 3 children. We booked and paid for the picnic in advance, we indicated that there were 3 children since there is no option to pay for food for them in the reservation. When we arrived, we were asked how many services we had paid for, the question surprised us a little bit cause we felt they were not prepared. The food was good, the dessert was delicious! In general, small portions, no one explained the menu to us and we had to order from the menu to be satisfied, they did not serve anything with the children in mind. The pizzas taste so good! The picnic included a bottle per couple (4 bottles) we ordered a bottle of rosé, one of red sine and one of white to try them and then order the last one of the one we liked the most. We requested the last one of rosé wine (2021) because we liked it a lot. The person who served us brought us another 2022 rosé with double fermentation. The truth is that the flavor was really bad and we did not understand why she decided to carry out another harvest and another type of process without asking us. After the picnic, we walked through the vineyards, we had a good time but at least I expected better attention. Nobody asks you about your experience, neither on site nor via email.

a month agoFirst time visitor. Old Mexico ambiance. Plenty of outdoor shade and flowers and nice breeze. Lots of character of the ranch style buildings. Friendly and attentive staff and interaction with the owner. Charcuterie board was top shelf and pizza was a winner. Chardonnay exceeded expectations and the Cabernet Franc was exceptional. Craft beer was a positive surprise as well. Six of us had wonderful 3 hour visit!
