The Valle de Guadalupe: the valley, the climate and the land
The Valle de Guadalupe is a wine valley in the municipality of Ensenada, a few minutes from the city according to the state tourism board, which describes a Mediterranean climate. In the 2024 harvest the federal agriculture ministry counted 3,909 hectares of grapes in Baja California's Zona Costa, where the valley is one of the main areas.

The valley
The Valle de Guadalupe sits inside the municipality of Ensenada. The state promotes it as a wine route, with a Mediterranean climate of warm days and cool nights. The agriculture ministry's figure covers the whole Zona Costa, not the valley alone, and the source names the Valle de Guadalupe as one of its main areas.
Several figures circulate for how many wineries the valley has, and the official sources do not agree on the number or the year, so we do not print one.
The harvest festival
The state tourism board publishes the program of the Fiestas de la Vendimia every year. The 36th edition was scheduled for August and September 2026; the dates change from one year to the next.
