There was a time when it was common to have a glass of vermouth before lunch. This drink was related to the opening of food, the beginning of the ritual that brought families together at the table. Now, this tradition is back thanks to the first bar in Mexico dedicated to the consumption of this macerated wine
Viñedos Azteca brings this wine and gastronomic tradition to life with the opening of La Vermutería, a small corner that pays homage to talks, meetings and food over a few glasses of vermouth.
The "Apertura", a proudly Mexican and Querétaro vermouth that is made at Viñedos Azteca, becomes the great protagonist of this new space to taste a drink that was internationally famous in the 50s and 60s, and that you can now enjoy in the Querétaro countryside.
Between tables with a very Mexican style, which evokes the best of the time of the great haciendas, and with a bar dedicated to a very particular cocktail bar, La Vermutería launches its offer of red and white vermouth, its "Apertura", to create balanced drinks that can well accompany the gastronomic offer of the place.
