MEXICO'S MOST IMPORTANT WINE REGION

This town dates back to colonial times when the Dominicans established the Mission of Our Lady of Guadalupe of the North in 1834, although remnants of the San Dieguito culture, dating back 7,000 to 10,000 years, have been discovered in the area.

It is located 20 km from Ensenada and is part of the Wine Route, which includes other valleys such as San Antonio, Ojos Negros, Santo Tomás, San Vicente, La Grulla, Tanamá, Las Palmas, and San Valentín.

Over 200 wineries have been established in this region, including Casa Pedro Domecq, Vinos Xecue, Castillo Ferrer, Adobe Guadalupe, L.A. Cetto, Monte Xanic, Trevista Vineyards, Barón Balché, Alximia Vinícola, Vinícola Xecue, Viñedos Las Nubes, and Casa de Doña Lupe, to name a few. In fact, it is increasingly being compared to Sonoma Valley in California.

This rapidly growing destination offers a good range of hotels, including luxury boutique hotels and cozy establishments, as well as a variety of gourmet restaurants.

Most of the vineyards and restaurants are open year-round, but from May to October, there is more activity in the area, and you can enjoy the small wineries and outdoor spaces with incomparable views.

The harvest festivals take place in August, and it's when you can enjoy all the events held at each winery, restaurant, and hotel.
