Itinerary
Pass By:  
Valle Ojos Negros
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.

We had an excellent experience from the beginning to end. Pepe from Infinito Winery was very attentive and cordial. Provided details about his wine. We where able to taste differently types. Thet our guy Luigi was excellent, he showed us around and even recommended good eating places. At our second stop Cava De Marcelo we learned about cheese making, history about the place over 100 years. We enjoyed this experience very much would fully recommend it.
