When it comes to Mexico, most people immediately think of Tequila, Margaritas, and Coronas. However, in recent years, winemakers in regions such as Baja California, Coahuila, and Durango have been gaining recognition for their exceptional vintages, putting Mexican wines on the map.
Although winemaking in Mexico dates back to the 16th century with the arrival of the Spaniards, it is only in recent decades that wineries have truly perfected their craft. As a result, the demand for Mexican wines, both domestically and internationally, has skyrocketed.
For those looking to explore the world of Mexican wines, it can be overwhelming to navigate the plethora of options available. This is where local sommeliers Vanusa Forster, originally from Brazil, and Natalia Villa-Lobos, a Mexican native, come in. Together, they have created Uncork Mexico, a unique experience that offers guided tastings and a curated selection of Mexican wines.
Located in downtown Puerto Vallarta, Uncork Mexico’s storefront at Matamoros 425-A boasts a wide range of Mexican wines, each carefully selected by Vanusa and Natalia. In addition to wines, they also offer a selection of artisan cheeses to complement your tasting experience.
Whether you are a seasoned wine connoisseur or a novice, Vanusa and Natalia are there to help you find the perfect bottle to take home. Alternatively, you can participate in one of their popular weekly wine tasting events, each with a different theme (whites, reds, sparkling, etc.), accompanied by fine cheeses, fruits, or chocolates.
For those seeking a more intimate experience, Uncork Mexico also offers private tastings in the comfort of your Pinnacle Resorts vacation rental. Additionally, they provide a convenient wine delivery service through their website, ensuring that your favorite bottles can be enjoyed wherever you are.
