Monte Xanic
Monte Xanic was one of the wineries that kicked off the modern Mexican wine boom. Founded in 1987 by five partners (with Hugo D'Acosta as the original winemaker), it sits at the heart of Valle de Guadalupe. Produces varietals — Cabernet Sauvignon, Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, Chenin Blanc — and premium blends like Gran Ricardo. Has won international awards consistently for decades and is the must-visit reference for anyone wanting to understand what Mexican wine is today. Visits include a vineyard walk, a four-wine tasting, and an option to add a paired lunch with valley views. If you're in the Valle for the first time, this is the winery to start with — it gives you the context everything else builds on.
