The Day of the Dead in Mexico is celebrated every year on November 2 and is undoubtedly the most iconic tradition in our country.
The purpose is to honor all our loved ones who are no longer with us, through the creation of altars dedicated to them where offerings and the photo of the deceased person are placed in the belief that their soul will return to visit us during that day.
Having said that, here are three suggestions of Mexican wines from Querétaro, which will undoubtedly be a temptation for our loved ones to come and visit us on the Day of the Dead for these delicious offerings:
