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.

Ensenada · Guadalupe Valley
Vena Cava is probably the most photographed winery in Valle de Guadalupe — the main hall is built with old upturned boat hulls as the roof, supported by recycled wood framing. Phil and Eileen Gregory's project started in 2007 with a relaxed wine-porn philosophy and straightforward production. The range is accessible, the wines clean. The eco-lodge on the vineyard (La Villa del Valle) is one of the most popular accommodation options in the valley.

Ensenada · Guadalupe Valley
La Lomita is one of the most respected wineries in Valle de Guadalupe among Mexican wine professionals. Designed by Sara Lucero, the architecture plays with the arid landscape and the valley's granite — stepped terraces, local materials. The range runs from Pagano (entry-level) to the Ardilla line (top), built around grenache, syrah, and cabernet sauvignon. The TrasLomita restaurant is among the finest kitchens in the valley.
