The Calafia Valley is located just a few miles northeast of Ensenada, about 850 feet above sea level. This remote part of the Baja Peninsula is widely recognized as one of Mexico's best wine-growing areas. It's about a 45-minute drive to two of Mexico's favorite wineries. As you travel, your guide explains the history of Ensenada and the Baja area. You will also learn a little about local customs and traditions.
At Casa Doña Lupe Winery, hear how high-quality wines are yielded from an unforgiving landscape of parched earth and taste the forward flavors and intensity of tannins that stressed vines create.
The nearby L.A. Cetto Winery pioneered the development of viticulture in Mexico. This winery is respected both locally and nationally for its expertise in the production of wines. Enjoy a 45-minute tour that showcases the process from growing to crushing, fermentation, pressing, barreling, bottling, and aging. Taste the wines paired with cheese and crackers and purchase wines at a considerable discount.
