TAFER Hotels & Resorts Partners with El Cielo Winery to Produce Three Distinctive and Exclusive Wine Blends
Relaxing at a luxurious oceanfront resort in Mexico is an ideal way to make the stresses of daily life simply melt away. And the experience is made even better when you can enjoy it while sipping exclusive blends of wine you won’t find anywhere else in the world. The team at TAFER Hotels & Resorts understands this, which is why it recently introduced its inaugural TAFER Wine Program in partnership with El Cielo Winery.
The wine program was introduced earlier this year with a series of multi-course gourmet events at TAFER’s award-winning resorts in Los Cabos, Cancun and Puerto Vallarta. The first offering, named the Voyage Collection, includes three wine blends produced exclusively for TAFER by El Cielo Winery. The renowned winery grows 15 varieties of grapes on 86 acres in the Guadalupe Valley in Baja California, a wine growing region known for its unique terroir. In keeping with its name “cielo,” which means sky or heavens, the winery gives each of its wines an astronomy-themed name.
“We are very excited to offer our signature hand-crafted wines across our portfolio of TAFER Hotels & Resorts,” says Enrico Lindenhahn, vice president of operations for the company. “These exquisite varietals reflect the very best of Mexican viticulture and will further elevate the gastronomic program throughout our various dining destinations. By partnering with El Cielo Winery, which boasts expert winemakers who are dedicated to producing high quality wines in Mexico’s foremost wine region of Valle de Guadalupe, we are able to provide our guests with premium wine as a part of a truly unforgettable and elevated vacation experience.”
The TAFER Voyage Collection encompasses three exceptional varietals—Phoenix, a woody Cabernet Sauvignon blend of franc, merlot and malbec; Stellar, a refreshing chardonnay with notes of pineapple, guava and nutmeg; and Solstice, a rosé blend of zinfandel, malbec and Sangiovese with notes of peach and citrus. Resort guests can enjoy the TAFER Voyage Collection wines at any of the onsite dining destinations at TAFER’s Garza Blanca Resort & Spa and Hotel Mousai properties in Los Cabos, Cancun and Puerto Vallarta.
The TAFER Wine Program is part of the company’s initiative to bring innovative and unique experiences to its guests. Another example is the Meat Sommelier Program TAFER recently debuted at its signature steakhouses, Bocados Steak House, Karuma The Art of Grill and La Casona Steak House & Seafood Grill at select oceanfront properties in Cancun, Los Cabos and Puerto Vallarta. Through this unique program, TAFER’s knowledgeable Meat Sommeliers guide diners through the intricacies of the meat selection process to help them choose just the right cut that will meet their unique tastes and preferences. The Meat Sommeliers are well versed in the types and tastes of meat cuts, where they are sourced and the different types of cattle breeds, from Angus to Wagyu. These experts can also walk guests through how the aging and grilling processes are performed.
If you’re wondering where you can go to indulge in these unique food and wine offerings, you’ll have plenty of choices. The family-friendly Garza Blanca Resort & Spa and the adults-only Hotel Mousai each operate oceanfront resorts in Los Cabos, Cancun and Puerto Vallarta. No matter which of the six resorts you choose, you’ll find a choice of luxury suites, gourmet cuisine, a world-class spa and refreshing pools among the amenities. Some suites even come equipped with a gourmet kitchen, and if the idea of having a oversized hammock where you can relax and kick back on your oceanview terrace beckons to you, you can find that, too.
Planning to travel with the kids? Garza Blanca Resort & Spa offers a Kids’ Club at each of its locations in Los Cabos, Cancun and Puerto Vallarta. Designed for kids between the ages of 4 and 12, the club offers a full range of fun activities, including crafts, games, pool time, movie time and soccer on the beach.
TAFER resorts also offer the option of choosing an all-inclusive plan when booking reservations. The exclusive Voyage Collection wines are included as part of the Gourmet Culinary All-Inclusive Plan, which covers all food and beverages enjoyed at the resort with the exception of a few premium menu items.
If exclusive wines, extraordinary cuisine and luxurious suites and amenities offered in a beautiful oceanfront setting sound appealing to you, then any one of TAFER’s six resorts in Los Cabos, Cancun and Puerto Vallarta would make a heavenly choice.
