The project for Tres Valles was started in 1999 when a group of friends agreed on their desire to develop and learn about wine. It wasn’t long before this group had the opportunity to develop their first harvest. The idea for the first harvest was to make a wine that could be shared with family and friends, but after the great results they decided to formulize the project and launch the products to market.
They then started the company Vinos Tres Valles S.A. de C.V. The name was given because Tres Valles means Three Valleys, and the grapes used come from the 3 most important valleys for local wine production in this region. The three valleys are Valle de San Vicente Ferrer, Valle de San Antonio de las Minas and Valle de Guadalupe. The image and brand were inspired by the first local settlers in this region with the idea that they also would be spreading their culture and traditions across the world.
At VTV they produce “honest” wines utilizing what nature provides them by respecting the soil, water and climate. VTV has agreements with different farms from the three valleys where they receive their grapes. The farmers provide the land to grow, and VTV provides their knowledge of grape vines. Because of this each year the quality of the grapes and the wine are constantly improving.
The winery itself was constructed using the same principles that are applied to the company which are honesty and simplicity, and respecting the natural environment which surrounds it. It has a fermentation area with stainless steel tanks and a beautiful aging cellar.
Please check back in the future for our own personal experiences while visiting this beautiful winery. We look forward to the day that we can finally enjoy our time viewing this area.
