Valle de Guadalupe

One of our favorite areas that we frequently visit to enjoy wine tasting is Valle de Guadalupe, the premier wine location of Mexico.

Where is Guadalupe Valley Located

This charming rural region, also known as the Baja Wine Country or Wine Route, is located between the city of Ensenada and the town of Tecate, in Northern Baja California.

The meandering narrow road that leads to a wide range of wine-producing communities between Ensenada and Tecate, is known as "La Ruta del Vino" or "The Wine Route".
