Casa Madero
Casa Madero is a corner of relaxation or celebration. It's a place of great tradition, charm, and magic, plus it has a great history and is the pride of Parras de la Fuente Coahuila. This beautiful farm is dedicated to viticulture, and also operates as a hotel, though it contracts its 24 rooms for a 3 day minimum with food and beverage service. Generally, it takes reservations for weddings, family celebrations or corporate events. Casa Grande, Casa Madero is not just any farm, it operates one of the oldest vineyards in the Americas and is located in one of the 25 "Magic Towns of Mexico," Parras de la Fuente, Coahuila.
Parras de la Fuente is a small town in the Coahuila desert. It is literally an oasis, a place with plenty of water and green to contrast with the arid desert lands of the region. Parras was founded there thanks to the "mercy" of King Philip II of Spain, who in 1597, donated the land for the purpose of founding a vineyard. It was the first in the Americas, and its history and that of Parras Hacienda San Lorenzo have been linked together forever. To reach Parras and visit Casa Madero, it's necessary to go to Torreón or Saltillo. In the very middle of the highway linking the cities, you'll find an exit to Parras de la Fuente, and, a few miles before reaching the city, you'll see the farm, which also has a small airstrip for those who prefer to arrive by plane. For visitors who only want to see the estate's facilities, there is the possibility of doing so: you can have a tour of the vineyards and wine, and an opportunity to taste the wine that is produced there. This is a corner I have frequented for a long time, and where I was honored to celebrate the wedding of my oldest daughter. I share this, because it is so worth knowing.
