Located in the heart of Mexico’s Bajío region, Querétaro dazzles with its baroque Historic Center -declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site-, a mild climate almost year-round and a rapidly growing offer for destination weddings. Its mix of colonial haciendas, award-winning vineyards and first-class services provides couples with an intimate, safe and accessible setting (just a 2-hour 30-minute drive from CDMX).
In addition to its colonial beauty, the state boasts a vibrant wine tourism scene. Brides and grooms can transform their wedding into an authentic wedding-weekend with tastings on the Art, Cheese and Wine Route, hot-air balloon rides over the vineyards or streetcar rides through the 74-arch Aqueduct. These extras pamper guests and make the wedding an experience.
To explore before or after the “I do”, it is worthwhile to stroll through the Plaza de Armas, climb the Mirador de los Arcos and take a trip to the Pueblo Mágico de Bernal to admire the Peña -the third-largest monolith in the world-. Those searching for art and shopping can discover galleries in the Old Railroad Station or designer boutiques in the La Cruz neighborhood.
Querétaro offers a range of venues that combine history, landscape and specialized services: Hacienda La Solariega (El Marqués). Casafuerte del XVII surrounded by vineyards, with main hall and terrace offers capacity for up to 1500 guests. The Fiesta Americana Hacienda Galindo Resort & Spa has a chapel and 168 rooms.
