There is more going on in Mexico than just Tequila! Sharing a similar climate to southern California which offers some excellent wines, the hills surrounding Ensenada in northern Baja also provide a climate conducive for growing grapes. An increasing number of Ensenada area wineries are gaining notoriety in the world of good wines.
Many of these wineries offer tours, and this is a great way to spend a day outside of Ensenada. Returning in time for dinner in one of Ensenada's great restaurants is a good way to complete the day!
Each summer various festivals are held at many of these wineries. These "festivals" are like large parties and include food, wine, music & dancing! Purchasing tickets in advance is usually a good idea as these events can get very crowded. Carlos Fiesta spend a week at one of these winery festivals one day!
For an inside look at an Ensenada wine festival check out this great article by Baja fanatic and author ANN HAZARD.
