Monte Xanic
Vinícola Monte Xanic
Mexico's first boutique winery, with a lakeside tasting terrace and award-winning Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, a benchmark of the quality-focused wine movement.
Founded in 1987, Monte Xanic is widely regarded as the starting point of Mexico's fine wine movement, and several of its wines have won prizes at international competitions. Set on a hillside beside a small lake, the tasting terrace overlooks the vineyards, and cellar tours can be booked in advance. Tasting packages cost about US$20–40. Weekends fill up quickly, so book ahead. The winery is located near the village of Francisco Zarco.
