Ensenada, Mexico

  • Rustic vineyard view through wooden door

The Mediterranean-style microclimate of Ensenada, located on the Pacific coast of the Baja California peninsula, is perfect for the cultivation of grapes, earning the city renown as the capital of Mexican wine. Home to the country’s oldest winery, more than 150 establishments dot the surrounding valleys; collectively, they produce 90% of Mexico’s wines. Though wine has been bottled here for centuries, it has only been in the past couple of decades that the world has developed a taste for this region’s award-winning varieties, with millions of cases being exported annually.
