Full analysis
Overview
This website is an official-looking winery and hospitality storefront presenting wine, tequila, mezcal, tastings, lodging, horseback riding, weddings, and related experiences, with revenue apparently derived from direct product sales, shipping, bookings, and hospitality services.
Scam/Impersonation Risk
The site’s visible content is consistent with a conventional winery business: it uses an age gate, displays product listings, provides booking pathways, and does not expose a login form, credential-collection form, wallet connection, or unusual financial-deposit request. However, this benign page presentation is outweighed by material external contradictions: two malicious detections, one suspicious detection, and confirmed blacklist status from two external sources. No page-level impersonation or phishing mechanism was identified, and the historical record shows continuity rather than suspicious repurposing, but the reputation findings create a high-risk basis for sensitive interaction. The real-world operator is only apparently connected to the site and is not independently verified.
- The homepage contains an age-verification gate and presents wine, tequila, mezcal, store, experience, lodging, and contact pathways.
- External reputation checks recorded 2 malicious and 1 suspicious detections, with blacklist status confirmed by 2 sources.
- The domain was registered on 2001-06-12 and is 25.21 years old.
- The archive contains 368 snapshots spanning 2002–2026, with 25 years tracked.
Regulatory Verification Notes
The site describes an ecommerce and hospitality model involving named wine products, Tía Tula tequila, Lucifer mezcal, tastings, lodging, horseback riding, and weddings. The supplied content identifies no licensing claim, license number, or independently verified regulatory authorization; this is a disclosure gap requiring confirmation rather than proof of misconduct. The contact and booking presentation supports an identifiable commercial presence, but it does not resolve the external reputation contradiction or independently establish the operator’s legal identity.
- The homepage and store pages identify wine and distilled-product sales, including Tía Tula tequila and Lucifer mezcal.
- The experiences, lodging, horses, weddings, and contact pages describe hospitality and booking services.
- The site’s transport encryption is a DV certificate issued by YR1, valid to 2026-10-05T09:45:42+00:00.
- The hosting infrastructure is served from AS29802, HVC-AS - HIVELOCITY, Inc., US.
What to Verify Next
Before any sensitive interaction, the operator should be confirmed through an independent channel rather than relying solely on the website. Any applicable alcohol-sale, hospitality, or local business authorization should be checked against the relevant official registry, and payment methods should be limited to those offering established dispute and buyer-protection mechanisms. Independent confirmation of the published business location, booking arrangements, cancellation terms, and official social or contact channels is also warranted.
- The contact page provides a local address and telephone numbers that can be independently validated.
- The store and booking pathways create separate purchase and reservation commitments that should be checked against published cancellation and fulfilment terms.
- The site exposes one age-verification form and no sensitive credential form in the observed page flow.
Summary Verdict
The overall posture is low trust with elevated risk for sensitive interaction. The site has the appearance and operating model of a genuine winery, but that appearance is not sufficient to overcome the confirmed external reputation contradictions. Identity linkage remains apparent rather than proven.
Infrastructure Integrity
The site resolves through a single direct hosting endpoint on Hivelocity infrastructure, with no CDN or WAF edge layer identified in the observed configuration. This provides a straightforward technical hosting path but offers limited additional protective separation; infrastructure characteristics do not mitigate the external reputation concerns.
Closing Assessment
Interaction should remain limited to non-sensitive viewing until the operator, applicable authorizations, and transaction protections have been independently confirmed; login, credential submission, and financial commitments should not proceed on the current evidence.

About this assessment
A trust score summarises the evidence TrustSniffer could collect about adobeguadalupe.com at assessment time. It is a starting point for your own judgement, not a guarantee: a high score means the signals were consistent with a legitimately operated site, a low or critical score means several risk patterns were present.
TrustSniffer assesses a website from the evidence it can collect at a point in time: domain registration and age, hosting and certificate, the content the site served, and third-party reputation feeds. A score is a summary of that evidence, not a guarantee and not a legal finding. There is no human rating and no user review in it. A site can change after it is assessed.
