Highlights
  • Valle de Guadalupe - This tour will begin from outside of the address you’ve provided. From there we will head straight into Baja’s majestic wine country, Valle de Guadalupe.

In Valle De Guadalupe you will meet the regions top chefs along with the vintners who are responsible for making Baja’s famous wine, tour through the caves where the wine is stored, learn the process of their wine making, and of course taste the many different wines of the region.

You will be accompanied by a Baja Vino representative at all times who will answer all your questions and handle everything. All you will need to do is sit, sip, and enjoy!

You will visit 3 boutique style wineries as we do not wish to visit the larger more commercial venues. We switch the wineries up for every tour so each experience is new.

We will end the tour with lunch. We like to visit local favorites: La Cocina de Doña Esthela, Adobe Food Truck, or sometimes get lucky to catch a friends Mexican BBQ at one of the wineries.

Additional Information

Our proprietor, Josh, hails from San Diego and has a deep-seated love for Mexico. He relocated to Ensenada in 2016 and is able to connect with others who visit from the U.S. on numerous shared experiences and interests.

Amazing Car Service For Valle De Guadalupe Wine Tasting - Impeccable, friendly, professional and easy going service. Picked up from the border on time and with great communication. We had an absolutely marvelous day in Valle De Guadalupe. What we created our own itinerary for three wineries and dinner. Driving was excellent and the service was overwhelmingly fantastic. We were on time from one winery to the next and dinner. The drive back was easy it was wonderful to have someone take us back to the border crossing after wine tasting and eating all day. We would absolutely use this service over and over again, hands-down! I know they also offer package services. However, they are completely flexible for your schedule as well. It's rare to find a company that offers such incredible customer service and it's so incredibly flexible as well. Looking forward to our next adventure with Baja Vino.

Friendly Host! - There was a booking error between Viator and the host .. so we didn't get to experience this. But once I made contact with the host he was very apologetic, friendly and quick to issue refund for the mix-up and confusion.

Best tour guides in Valle De Guadalupe - Great trip with Josh at the wheel! We arranged for Josh to pick us up in Tijuana since we walked across the border. He was prompt and extremely knowledgable about the area. The van was new and easily fit our group and luggage. His fluency in Spanish helped us get in and out of various wineries in and restaurants in Valle with ease. Overall great experience and we'll definitely be back!

Great wine tasting day in Ensenada - I booked this tour for our stop in Ensenada during our Christmas cruise we just took for 2023 !! I was so excited to have the opportunity to be going to Ensenada and really excited to found Baja Vino wine tours. I believe the cost per person was relatively the same as one that we could’ve booked through the cruise line. Except we got to go to three boutique wineries and got lunch along the way. Josh and another driver met us right outside the port in Ensenada and picked us up our ship came in a little late that day but they were fantastic and waited around for us once they got us we were on our way to Wine country. We were traveling with my family of four and our really good friends and their daughter. All of the wineries we went to were so cute and we were so happy that we got a chance to try them everybody was so friendly and the wines were pretty good. The first stop the wines were still pretty young , but we even got a taste from the barrel. That was a neat experience. We visited three wineries that day we went to two and after the second one we got to go to a very cute food truck that was also part of the winery and had a very nice lunch that was curated from a taste menu we really enjoyed it and the property was so cute! I would absolutely book again with Baja Vino wine tours it was such a great experience!

Best tour in Ensenada - My husband and I took a short cruise from Long Beach to Ensenada. We never expected such a fantastic tour or the wine we experienced in the Baja peninsula. Josh does a fantastic job at pairing the wineries with your group size, type, etc. We didn't give our own itinerary (which is an option), we just let him do the planning for us. We loved the small wineries we toured and organic experience. At one location, we met Diego who was our sommelier for our visit, but also worked as a staff member in the production of this wine. He was very knowledgeable about the appellation and processes in detail. Josh said at most of these smaller boutique wineries, it's "all hands on deck". After our wine tours, we had a wonderful, locally-sourced seafood lunch at La Concheria, in the middle of town. We have suggested this tour to friends, family and co-workers, especially this totally unexpected wine region. When we return again, I hope for a longer stay, but we will definitely use Baja Vino. Thank you, Josh!

Perfect Day: Ensenada - Just home from a short three day cruise where I reached out Baja Vino tours based on several glowing recommendations. It was myself and two friends looking for beautiful views, a bit of adventure and most of all great wine during our time in Ensenada port. Booked directly via the website and received instant confirmation. Day of, got a text message from Josh who happened to be the owner. Josh is from Portland and a proud Navy veteran who fell in love with Baja and now calls it home. He seemed to know everyone everywhere we went and he had a pretty awesome SUV for handling the monster potholes. He picked us up just outside of the cruise pier an easy walk from the ship and we were off. Our first two spots were boutique wineries so far off the beaten path I have no clue how anyone would know they were there. Both were magical!! Both had winery dogs that we all fell in love with. Lunch was at a food truck on a winery that served some AMAZING food and our last stop was on a hill with a great view of the valley and we enjoyed some live music with our wine. It was one of the best wine tours I've ever taken. I can't recommend Josh or Bajo Vino enough, I will however be jealous that I won't be back to Ensenada for awhile. Thank you!

Great Wines and Tour Guide - Josh picked us up by the cruise ship terminal at 10:30a. Easy peasy. He took us to 3 wineries in the Valle de Guadalupe. We really enjoyed visiting with Gabriela Gaeta at Villa Montefiori. She was a real pro and very passionate about wine. After the wineries we stopped for lunch at La Concheria. Outstanding fresh seafood. Dropped us off at the cruise ship. The highlight of our cruise.
