Vivac Winery is a renowned brand that offers handcrafted local New Mexico Wines. Located in Dixon, NM, Vivac has established itself as the highest-rated red wine producer in the history of New Mexico. Founded in 1998 by brothers Jesse and Chris Padberg, along with their wives Michele and Liliana Padberg, Vivac Winery is the result of their passion for winemaking and dedication to creating the best wines possible.

Inspired by their travels and mentorships with local winemakers, the Padberg brothers have honed their craft, combining art and science to produce internationally acclaimed wines. Their meticulous approach includes hand-harvesting, hand-sorting, and using traditional basket presses for each bottle. They also focus on vineyard management, with three different estate vineyards, developed through test plots and research.

The winery facility, nestled in the Dixon foothills, features state-of-the-art equipment and a commitment to constant temperature control throughout the winemaking process. With a focus on continuous improvement, Jesse and Chris continue their studies and experimentation to create wines that showcase the true potential of each varietal. Vivác, meaning high-altitude refuge in Spanish, reflects the brand's commitment to excellence and their use of the highest quality grapes.

With their dedication to their craft, Vivac Winery has become a pioneer in the New Mexico wine industry
