Nayarit Wins Gold on the International Wine Stage

Nayarit is known not only for its stunning beaches and natural beauty—it is now also shining on the international wine scene. El Gran Poeta 2024, produced by Meseta de Cielo Vineyard, has been awarded a Gold Medal at the San Francisco International Wine Competition 2026, becoming the only Mexican wine to receive this prestigious recognition this year.

Recognition at one of the world’s most important wine competitions confirms the exceptional quality of the 2024 vintage. El Gran Poeta—named in honor of renowned Nayarit-born poet Amado Nervo—stands out for its balance, character, and aromatic depth, the result of a meticulous process that blends passion, technique, and deep respect for the land.

Each bottle reflects the dedication of the Meseta de Cielo team, from vineyard care to the final pour. This is more than wine—it is identity, territory, and vision.

Traditionally recognized for destinations such as Riviera Nayarit, the state is now expanding its appeal with enotourism experiences that surprise visitors with their authenticity and quality.

This international victory opens the door to a new way of discovering the region:

• Visits to emerging vineyards
• Wine tastings with breathtaking views
• Pairings that blend local cuisine with boutique wines

The gold medal earned in San Francisco is more than an award—it is a clear message that Nayarit is ready to compete, and win, on the world’s most demanding stages.

That El Gran Poeta 2024 was the only Mexican wine awarded gold in this edition further strengthens Mexico’s position as a producer of high-end wines. As its name suggests, each glass is a liquid poem—one that now places Nayarit at the forefront of global winemaking.

Yet another reason to visit the state and discover that in Nayarit, talent is also cultivated on the vine.
