What To Expect
Your tour begins at 11:00 a.m. with pickup from your hotel in Ensenada or valle de Guadalupe. Near Ensenada, a valley full of vineyards, cheeses and fun opens its way, called Ojos Negros, in Baja California. 40 kilometers east of Ensenada stretches the beautiful and legendary Valle de Ojos Negros. Beautiful mountains of white rocks, green and fertile land where excellent vegetables and fruits are grown. It is said that it was in these directions when in 1870 a gambusino named Ambrosio Castillo found a gold nugget and with it, an entire vein. Immediately, thousands of adventurers arrived at the place and thus the Real del Castillo was born, which with the gold rush would become the capital of the then territory of Baja California.
You can visit the vineyard, talk with the winemaker and owner Pepe Pedrosa. You will have the unique opportunity to carry out a personalized and private tasting. Note: Some stops may change depending on availability.

5.00The tour was excellent! Very well paced, the winery and the cheese cave were amazing. Tour guides were friendly, knowledgeable and very professional. They made this experience one of the best tours we’ve been to around here. We didn’t feel rushed at any point, learned some interesting facts and they took pictures throughout the day as well. Highly recommend.

5.00We selected a wine/cheese tour in Ensenada, mostly out of curiosity. We didn’t know there was wine production in Mexico. We were so impressed with everything - our guide, Eugenia was super knowledgeable and very sweet. The wineries we visited were incredible and the wines we tasted were amazing. I am already ready to come back to visit many of the other wineries in the area!
Thank you Jorge! The best guide ever!

5.00It was an amazing experience we had a driver with so much information our original tasting was canceled for a last minute emergency so she took us to a nice Vinyard in the valle and on the way to the cheese cave she managed to still get us in for our original tasting with my favorite winery in ojos negros. The cheese was amazing as always The wine was perfect. I left with 2 blocks of cheese and 10 bottles of wine. 10/10 I always book this tour.
