Why Our Wine Tour is Unmatched

This experience has been uniquely crafted for Conrad and Hilton Tulum, setting it apart from traditional wine tastings. With over 20 years of experience in the field, our expert team takes this activation to the next level by showcasing four hand-selected Mexican wines from diverse regions. These wines are paired with authentic, regional dishes—a challenge our culinary team embraced by transforming traditional street and homemade fare into sophisticated, gourmet offerings.

Each dish and wine pairing reflect extensive research into the culinary traditions of Mexico, ensuring a cultural and sensory journey that cannot be found elsewhere. During the tour, participants will also be guided through a professional wine-tasting process, gaining insights that will transform how they experience wine.

To commemorate the occasion, guests will receive a personalized certificate, recognizing their participation and newfound expertise.

LONG DESCRIPTION:

We present four Mexican wine labels from different regions. In each of these regions, a study of traditional dishes was conducted, identifying between 8 and 13 dishes per region. However, only 2 or 3 dishes harmonized perfectly with the selected wines, making the pairing process even more challenging.

Our culinary team embraced the task of selecting one of these dishes, most of which are street food or homemade recipes passed down through generations in Mexican families. These dishes, often only known by walking through the streets of each region, have been elevated to a professional level, creating a gourmet experience worthy of our discerning guests.

During the activity, participants are guided through a professional and highly effective wine-tasting process, opening their eyes to a completely different perspective on wine. At the end of the tour, they receive a personalized certificate with their name, signed by both the restaurant’s chef and the sommelier who led them through the experience. This certificate certifies that they have learned and developed the basic techniques and skills necessary to taste wine with a heightened level of expertise.

Upon completing our Wine Tour, participants not only refine their wine-tasting techniques and expand their knowledge of wines from different regions, but they also discover the vast culinary heritage that Mexico has to offer.

In conclusion, our Wine Tour Around Mexico is more than just a culinary experience; it is a sensory journey through Mexico’s rich wine and gastronomic heritage. From the careful selection of premium wine labels to the meticulous crafting of traditional dishes, every aspect of this tour has been designed to offer our guests a unique and unforgettable experience.

This exclusive tour not only elevates participants’ wine-tasting skills but also immerses them in the diversity of Mexico’s wine regions. The harmony between wine and cuisine becomes an artistic expression, revealing the mastery of our culinary team and the authenticity of Mexico’s culinary traditions.

By receiving a personalized certificate at the end of the tour, our guests leave not only with newly acquired knowledge but also with the distinction of having participated in an experience that transcends the conventional. We invite them to explore the passion and history behind each glass, celebrating the greatness of our country through its wines and flavors.

The Wine Tour Around Mexico not only raises the standard of wine tastings but also fosters a lasting connection between our guests and the authentic culinary culture of Mexico. We guarantee that this experience will become an unforgettable chapter in their journey, leaving them with indelible memories of the essence and elegance of Mexican winemaking.

OUR SOMELIER STORY:

Aarón Alvarez Arellano – Sommelier

Originally from Mexico City, I bring 20 years of experience in food and beverage within the Riviera Maya and international cruises. For the past 15 years, I’ve dedicated myself to the world of wine as a sommelier, honing my expertise through mentorships and training that have fueled my passion for this profession. As part of a second-generation hotelier family, I inherited sales skills from my mother, who worked in timeshares, and discipline from my father, who held key roles in renowned hotels such as Sheraton and Westin. I’ve worked my way up in various hotels, from all-inclusive to luxury 5-star Forbes-rated properties.

I’ve been honored with notable achievements, including two gold medals at the Mexico Selection by CMB and recognition by Sommelier Business as one of the top 9 sommeliers in Latin America to collaborate with. I also contributed to the wine and pairing guide edited by renowned critic Marco Beteta, alongside culinary icons like Mikel Alonso and René Rentería.

Currently, I serve as Cluster Wine Director at Conrad Tulum Rivera Maya, where I’ve been part of the pre-opening team, helping to establish one of Mexico’s top hotel platforms.
