Father Miguel Hidalgo stood on these church steps and ordered the bells to be rung as he called for the end of 300 years of Spanish rule. This was the beginning of the Mexican Revolution resulting in their independence. That is what makes this church so important to their history. It's not just the sights you see or just another church, travel is all about understanding the significance of these places. The town of Dolores added Father Hidalgo's name and it is known as the cradle of Mexican independence.

What started as a tour of the vineyard with a light tapas and wine tasting turned into an incredible culinary experience. The relatively unknown wine has been in existence for 14 years and is doing great things with a bright and crisp Semillon in Torre de Tierra. Then came a gastronomical experience that should be in New York. Presentations with all locally grown ingredients were of CIA quality and taste. I was totally amazed. The pairings of the wine were perfect. I haven’t had this great a time in Napa (with perhaps one exception). Totally incredible hidden treasure.

We walked in as we arrived in Hidalgo. Absolutely loved reading up on Alfredo Jimenez. I had no idea he was from the area. The museum was spotless, nice staff and thankfully everything to read was in English and Spanish.

After surviving The Bus Ride from GTO ( see DH travel forum), the Calle Pueblo was a more than welcome oasis to spend a lovely afternoon. We enjoyed ice cream and were able to try a variety of flavors. The plaza is a great place to people watch, catch some sol, learn about the history of Mexican Independence, and there were great restaurants. Overall, we loved our afternoon soaking it in! If you’re able to take a day trip, this is a great place to go!

Tres Raíces arises from the idea of a Mexican family to create a place where they can enjoy what they are most passionate about; the wine. The word THREE refers to each of their children, and the word ROOTS refers to the concept of "putting down roots", developing and caring for the most valuable of the family foundations, as well as caring for the most important part of the vine. plant: the roots.

What an absolutely beautiful place! My husband and I spent a weekend here and enjoyed every minute of it! We stayed in one of the Casitas actually located right next to the growing vines. So quiet and peaceful. The casita was amazing from the cozy bathrobes and super soft towels in the huge bathroom to the king size bed that was like sleeping on a cloud! Our outdoor area overlooked the vineyard for great sunsets and just viewing the beautiful nature surrounding you! Loved the fire pit!! We did yoga on our porch, rode bikes through the vineyard, Wine tasting and had amazing meals in the restaurant! The staff was very helpful and accommodating. Highly recommended!
