Rancho Toyan - 37734 San Miguel de Allende

I live in San Miguel and adore Toyan. What the owner, Martha, is creating there is visionary, holistic and absolutely inspiring! This is a magical place not to be missed when visiting San Miguel de Allende. Don't miss it!!

Astounding experience. Feminine-centric organic self-sustaining vineyard. Mystical statues of monks, nuns, gargoyles all over the place. Kitchen is a replica of a nineteenth century with fabulous lunches. Their man-made wine Cavern is 14 m down where it maintains the perfect temperature for the Aging wine. And look for the meteorite!

I called and made a reservation for a tour, got a taxi to go , when 3 of us got got there the lady I called to give the tour said she forgot she had something else to do. and said no tour today. waisted our morning on vacation, and money for the taxi. she was sitting in the office talking to another lady and no time for a quick tasting when we arrived . our morning was ruined . we planned a tour, tasting and lunch. I made the reservation one hour before we got there. My worst experience in San Miguel . Wanted to visit several vineyards in San Miguel and surrounding areas , but this first one completely turned off the 3 of us to try any . To bad we had some great wine in town. Wine is our thing. We will do other things and have a few glasses of wine in town. The 3 of us planned to spend 1000s on wine each at The vineyards. The good side is we have more money.We don't have much time on vacation here and don't want to risk wasting time on broken appointments, and reservations at any more vinyards.

Friends took us to see this amazing place just outside of SMA. The vineyard is a young 25 yrs old. Our guide was Spanish speaking, but kindly spoke slowly for me and my friend translated the harder parts?. The caves are the highlight (in low lighting). Followed by tasting of 4 wines paired with tapas. We did buy 2 reds (not all that inexpensive) that are young. Will let them mature when we get home...when we finally serve them, we will uncork the memories of an enjoyable day with good friends!

It's a great experience. Visually especially. Wine like you've never tasted before it's all organic. But there are a couple that are very good.

This is a must do in San Miguel de Allende, make sure you call to make a reservation, they open kind of late. The service is great and we even met the owner, she was really nice. The cava is amazing!!! They take you downstairs and show you around, then they give you a wine tasting and cheese at the most beautiful tasting room. No flash is allowed.

We went on. Tuesday, staff was not available., No one greeted us. We were the only ones in the entire winery. We were there at noon. Finally someone helped us. We did the taste test of 4 wines. They were all truly bad. We got a small plates of hors”douvres to go with wine. We did not buy any wine! Truly all were bad.

This was a wine tour beyond compare. Aldo gave us a tour of the farm and the winery. This a the most fascinating, underground winery. The architecture, design and atmosphere of this place was like a medieval castle. I felt like any moment that King Arthur or some Mayan King was likely to stride through the tasting room. The tour, the guide, and the owner were fantastic. If you ever have a chance, make the effort to visit this out of the way winery. You will NOT be disappointed!
