What to do and see in Ensenada, Baja California Norte: The Best Wineries & Vineyards

September 5, 2021 Natalie Tallman

In Ensenada, only 80 miles south of San Diego, travelers can get a taste of Mexican food, culture and nightlife. Californians flock to this beautiful seaport town, one of the largest on the Baja peninsula, for rest, relaxation and excellent outdoor recreation activities. From surfing and sea kayaking to horseback riding and mountain biking, even the most discerning sportsperson will be impressed. Ensenada's nightlife is also a big draw. Papas and Beer and Hussong's Cantina serve up an on-going party atmosphere and lots of tequila, while nearby vineyards offer wine tasting in a more traditional and serene setting. Nature enthusiasts are wowed by the sight of gray whales and the underwater cave that randomly squirts water at onlookers. Whatever your interests, enchanting Ensenada will not disappoint.

Reviewed By lawperry - Kennesaw, United States

I went to this winery as part of my shore excursion when sailing on the carnival imagination out of long beach. This one of the oldest wineries in this country and i learned tons of great facts and history like Al Capone being supplied liquor from here during prohibition. I personally did not like the wines but a lot of people took home multiple bottles.

Vinisterra Vitivinicola

Vinisterra was founded in 2002, born out of the friendship between the entrepreneur, Guillermo Rodriguez Macouzet, and the enologist, Christoph Gaertner and their common passion for wine and the terroir of Ensenada valleys. We are a micro-producer winery with 15 collaborators, producing 50,000 bottles of wine per year with a deep respect of our lands and our community. We try to express with pride the great nature of Baja California through our wines. The grapes for our wines grow in our vineyards in Santo Tomas and Guadalupe valleys in a surface of 11 hectares. Our winery was built out of bricks that were made with the soil of the town. We work with a minimum intervention oenology so consequently the wines of every single vine can express itself with a unique and pure taste as much as possible.
