Riviera Maya Events

Friday, March 2nd at 6pm, Casa Caribe in Puerto Morelos will host another delightful evening in their series of popular wine tasting events, Appreciating Mexican Wine Part 2.

This time, the wines from Mexico's renowned wine producer Monte Xanic, will take center stage with a presentation from wine expert Tania Pena Quiroga. The name “Xanic” means “flower which blooms after the first rain” and originates from the Cora Indians who continue to inhabit parts of Nayarit on Mexico’s Pacific coast. The Monte Xanic Vineyard is located in the Valle de Guadalupe in the Baja region, Mexico’s most prestigious wine region and home to 90% of the top wines produced in this country. Today, Monte Xanic is regarded as one of the finest boutique wineries in Mexico.

Guests will be tasting a Chardonnay, a Chenin-Colombard, a Cabernet Sauvignon-Petit Verdot and a Cabernet Sauvignon-Syrah, each paired with delicious appetizers from Chef Pablo Espinosa, Head Chef and Instructor for Puerto Morelos' famous Little Mexican Cooking School.
