Timeline

  1. 16:04

    Xecue

    Arrive at the winery. The owners, Jose Luis and Alberta, welcome you to their modernistic space. Order a tasting flight of their regional wines, such as the Kumeey blend, and enjoy a light snack at the elegant restaurant serving Baja cuisine. The winery is open from 11:00 to 19:00, so you have plenty of time to settle in before the sun dips low.

  2. 16:52

    Xecue

    Walk 12 minutes northeast from the winery to the viewing spot. This short stroll gives you a moment to stretch your legs and let the wine settle as you approach the edge of the property.

  3. 17:04

    Xecue

    Stand at the viewing spot and watch the sun sink toward the WSW. The golden light that started around 16:28 will be fading into the deep colors of twilight, casting long shadows across the vines.

Local tip

The restaurant serves dinner until 19:00, so if you stay late, you can transition from sunset sipping to a full meal without moving locations.
