PASATIEMPO

The Story

Nestled in the heart of the renowned Valle de Guadalupe, Vinos Pasatiempo is born from a deep-rooted passion for winemaking and a commitment to the unique terroir of our 17-acre estate, "Refugio." Owner Ronald Buhler embarked on this journey in 2005, a time when fewer than twenty wineries dotted this now world-class wine region. This venture, Vinos Pasatiempo, builds upon the pioneering spirit of his first project, Quinta Monasterio, which began bottling wines in 2006.

At Vinos Pasatiempo, we believe that exceptional wines begin in the vineyard. That's why we exclusively use grapes grown on our family estate, ensuring every bottle reflects the distinct character of Refugio. Under the expert care of esteemed agronomist Jose Manuel Fernandez, our vines are meticulously cultivated and harvested to produce fruit of outstanding quality. This dedication allows us to craft award-winning wines designed to delight even the most discerning palates. Depending on the label, our wines are brought to life at two different locations by talented winemakers, each bringing their unique expertise to the final product.

With a production of 2,200 cases, we focus on quality and expressing the best of Valle de Guadalupe in every glass.
