Wine production was recorded in San Luis Potosi's Valle de San Francisco in 1746, with records for Bledos, Gogorrón and Calderón following in 1826 and 1840. After several decades of decline, winemaking returned to the high plateau around the capital at the start of the twentieth century. Today's vineyards are concentrated around the capital, Venado and Moctezuma, making red, white and rosé wines. In Moctezuma, Cava Quintanilla grows grapes including Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Chardonnay at 1,630 metres. Its site has a semi-desert setting and deep clay soil. Winery visits in the state include tastings, dinners and food-pairing events.
