Over 150 years ago, the Sanchez family established roots in what is now Puerto Vallarta, building a life grounded in hard work and resilience. That same spirit carried through generations, eventually shaping the land known today as Finca 18. Located along the historic Camino Real, the property is steeped in both history and legend—once part of the route used to transport silver from the mountains to the coast, and is said to hold untold stories buried beneath its soil.
In 1995, Dr. Heriberto Sanchez, a local doctor who rose from humble beginnings, acquired the ranch and transformed it into a gathering place for the community. His deep connection to the land left a lasting legacy. After his passing in 2021, the family reimagined the property. In 2022, the ranch was reborn as Finca 18, a distillery dedicated to producing authentic, small-batch agave spirits.
Today, Finca 18 stands as a reflection of its history—where tradition, place, and purpose come together to create something real.
