Places in Mexico
Baja California
Northern Baja California's dry wine valleys are influenced by Pacific fog and breezes, especially around Valle de Guadalupe.
Coahuila
High desert vineyards around Parras use elevation and irrigation to grow grapes, with ripe, full-bodied reds a common expression.
Queretaro
One of Mexico's leading high-elevation sparkling-wine regions, where altitude helps grapes retain freshness despite the warm latitude.
