Vino in the village: La Villita’s newest tenant hopes to lure in more evening foot traffic with Mexican wine
Mexico's long viticultural tradition will soon have a new home in San Antonio's oldest neighborhood. Salena and Eduardo Guipzot discovered some of the lesser-known wines of Mexico three years ago while traveling in Cuatro Ciénegas and shortly after brought the palate-pleasing product to San Antonio
San Antonio's best wine bar for exploring the vintages of Mexico will open a second location downtown early next year.
Mexico's long viticultural tradition will soon have a new home in San Antonio's oldest neighborhood.
The wine bar Casa Guipzot, which focuses on the wines of Mexico and the country's centuries-old winemaking culture, has announced plans to open a second location in La Villita. The new shop, which is slated for a late-January open, will be steps away from the Arneson River Theater entry gates.
To further Guipzot's commitment to diversity, she has also forged a partnership with Alamo Colleges to encourage Chicanos and women to get into wine. Wine tours to Mexico and an upcoming program that combines a wine tasting with entertainment provided by a Mexican opera singer only further her goal of "curating experiences" around wine. If Mexican wine doesn't become the next big thing, it won't be for lack of trying on Guipzot's part.
Casa Guipzot brings Mexican
wine to San Antonio
Casa Guipzot is a wine shop and tasting room created by Salena and Eduardo Guipzot, a local couple with a passion for wine. Salena previously worked in mergers and acquisitions and lived in Oregon. Her time in the Pacific Northwest, specifically the Dundee Hills area, exposed her to the world of wine. Traveling through Mexico with her husband, who is originally from Mexico, further influenced her and exposed her to Mexican wine.
Salena and Eduardo Guipzot are on a mission to change the way San Antonians think about wine.
In a small storefront on the West Side, they have created one of the most exciting new wine destinations in the city with Casa Guipzot, a shop that’s barely a year old and taps into a history that extends more than 500 years.
Even though regions such as Chile, Argentina, and Texas are getting lots of attention, Mexico has a much older winemaking tradition. Spaniards began planting grapes shortly after the conquest, and the oldest winery in the Americas, Casa Madero in Coahuila, was established in 1597.
