We'd heard about Vallarta Botanical Gardens recently and I read someone called it "a new favorite" or something like that, so I guessed the place might not be a bad option to visit. We planned the trip on the last day in town, visited the site the night before to check the public hours and started off early in the morning, planning to arrive close to 10AM. The trip is south as if going to Boca de Tomatlan, passing Mismaloya and Los Arcos on the way.

Mexico is the oldest American wine producer, but its industry of quality wines is relatively recent. Wine was consumed as food, medicine and to regain strength.

In Pre-Columbian times, native Indians used wild vines to prepare a drink to which they added other fruit and honey. These uncultivated vines were laden with bunches of grapes, but due to their acidity they did not produce wine. Several heterogeneous species of wild grapes existed but they were unlike the European vitis vinifera, the most suitable specie for producing quality wines.

Vallarta is actually an important culinary destination in itself. A mix of international chefs, discerning gourmands that have made the city their home town, a long running gourmet festival, the local Mexican food traditions, that are centuries old plus quality ingredients from sea and land combine into great food, great prices and an ever expanding list of options.
