La Redonda, a renowned vineyard in Querétaro, has garnered attention for its extensive wine offerings and activities despite recent challenges involving alleged land claims.
La Redonda vineyard, established over 50 years ago in Querétaro, is celebrated as a significant player in Mexico's wine industry. It not only produces a wide range of wines but also engages visitors with experiences such as tastings, guided tours, culinary festivals, and an Italian restaurant. However, the vineyard recently faced scrutiny due to allegations of land appropriation, casting a shadow over its long-standing legacy.
The origin of La Redonda can be traced back to its founder, Vittorio Giaginto Bortoluz Perencin, who emigrated from Italy in the 1970s with aspirations to create his own vineyard. With expertise in agronomy and viniculture, Bortoluz carefully selected land in Querétaro that demonstrated potential for successful grape cultivation. His vision was to not only produce wines but to build a comprehensive experience for visitors, integrating gastronomy and viniculture.
As the vineyard continues to expand, it faces challenges not only from market competition but also from legal disputes surrounding its land. The allegations of potential land theft have raised questions about property rights in the region and may affect the vineyard's operations and reputation. The situation underscores the complexities of vineyard ownership in Mexico and highlights the intersection of agriculture, tourism, and legal frameworks within the expanding wine industry in Querétaro.
