Activities in Parras

Casa Madero
The first winery in the Americas was established at Parras in 1597, a year before the town itself sprang up. Now called Casa Madero, it’s 7km north of the center, in San Lorenzo on the road to the main highway. It’s now an industrial-sized operation exporting vino all over the world. Free half-hour tours take you past winemaking equipment old and new. You can buy quality wine and brandy on-site too. From near the main plaza in Parras, catch regular buses (M$20) that pass the winery, just tell your driver where you want off. Or take a taxi (M$90).
