MAIN Wines North America Mexico Sonora

While Baja may have the eye of the international wine critics, half of Mexico’s vineyards are in Sonora.

Many of the grapes are table grapes or are used for raisins or brandy production. Much of the wine grape production is shipped to Baja or north to wineries in Arizona, and as a result only local boutique wineries are the region's only big draw for wine tourism.
