Outstanding Option to Tour Ensenada area Wineries - People who know me know I never write superlative reviews, but this is one of those rare exceptions. I was celebrating my 60th birthday and retirement with more than a dozen of my friends and family via cruise ship and wanted a truly memorable experience, within my budget and limited time in port, Eugenia, the owner arranged everything, and it fit our needs to a tee. Even though we ended up only being 5 on the tour, Eugenia made us feel always like their most important client. She listened to my preferences and designed a tour just for us. The van and driver were top-notch and Eugenia's knowledge and passion for the wines in the region cannot be denied. The wines sampled were superb as was her selection for lunch. You simply cannot do best for a personalized tour of this region.
