Discover the Spirit of Sonora
To understand Sonora, you have to experience bacanora.
Join Borderlandia on an immersive journey into the heart of Sonora's agave country, where generations of families have crafted Mexico's signature desert spirit for centuries. Travel beyond the tasting room into the Sierra Madre, where tradition, landscape, and hospitality come together to tell the story of bacanora at its source.
Featured in National Geographic, this unique experience takes you to the communities of La Colorada, Suaqui Grande, and Yécora—places where bacanora is more than a drink; it's a reflection of Sonora's history, identity, and resilience.
What You'll Experience
Visit three family-run vinatas and meet the producers preserving this remarkable tradition.
Learn every step of the bacanora-making process, from harvesting wild agave to distillation and aging.
Enjoy guided tastings that reveal the distinct character of Sonora's Denomination of Origin spirit.
Explore the breathtaking landscapes of the Sierra Madre, from desert foothills to pine forests.
Savor regional cuisine and spend time in Hermosillo, Sonora's vibrant culinary capital, and the mountain town of Yécora.
Throughout the journey, you'll gain more than an appreciation for a remarkable spirit—you'll discover the people, places, and traditions that make bacanora an enduring symbol of Sonora.
Travel with a small group of curious explorers and experience a side of Mexico that few visitors ever see.
