The house
Editorial review · reviewed on October 11, 2026In El Porvenir, the village in Guadalupe Valley (Valle de Guadalupe) where several wineries cluster, Rancho Santa María keeps wine on ranch time. There are tastings with cheese boards, plus breakfast, lunch, and dinner by reservation, a small house for the night, and a spot to pitch a tent.
Opening days change. The Rutas del Vino de México listing gives Friday through Sunday, 11 a.m. to 5 p.m., a schedule worth confirming on its social media pages before you go. The name is shared by ranches in other states, so when you book, make sure it is the winery in El Porvenir.
