“The state and federal governments will collaborate in the creation of a Wine Museum in Querétaro, before the big success of wine tourism along the Route of Art, Cheese and Wine”, informed Francisco Domínguez Servién, governor of the state.
During the 2018 Fall Gala, in the municipality of Tequisquiapan, the governor declared that this idea was the result of a meeting held with Miguel Torruco Marqués, who will be tourism secretary in the administration of Andrés Manuel López Obrador.
He also said that the project could be created in the capital, San Juan del Río or Tequisquiapan, which would be developed with state and federal budget. However, the Ministry of Tourism will be responsible for verifying in which municipality the Wine Museum will be installed.
In the event, Domínguez Servién assured that the Route of Art, Cheese and Wine is the second most important tourist product of Querétaro, besides that it is a benchmark of the wine and gastronomic tourism of the country.
