If there is one thing you should know as a wine lover in Southern California, it is that Mexico’s Valle de Guadalupe is going to be an absolute paradise for you. Whether it’s a quick stamp in your passport, comparable wines for cheaper prices, or simply trying a new winery that calls to you, you’ll…

There’s another wine country you should be paying attention to. In addition to award-winning regions like Napa, Sonoma, and Temecula Valley, California—well, Baja California—is home to Valle de Guadalupe, less than two hours south of San Diego. Tucked between Ensenada beaches and stunning mountain ranges, the “Ruta del Vino” is approximately 35 miles long, with…

When most Americans think of Mexico’s Baja peninsula, they picture vast stretches of sun-bleached chaparral, stipple-painted scrubland — fly-over country on the way to boozy, bro-ed out weekend in Cabo. But just an hour south of the border, centered in the Valle de Guadalupe, is Mexican wine country — one of the most dynamic (and…

Master Sommelier Ian Cauble, founder of SommSelect, says the world of sparkling is much broader than that of Champagne. “Producers all over Europe are utilizing the ‘traditional method,’ the synonymous term for ‘Champagne method’ wherein the secondary fermentation, which creates the bubbles, is carried out in the bottle,” he says. Translation? There’s a whole realm…

When it comes to alcoholic beverages that hail from Mexico, visions of tequila and mezcal might be top-of-mind. Or what about a beachside Corona with a lime wedge corking the bottle? But maybe it’s time to add fine Mexican wine to that lineup, too, because vino Mexicano is not only becoming more popular, it’s also…

In the last few years, California’s up-and-coming wine regions have been steadily moving further and further south. First it was Santa Barbara and the Santa Ynez Valley. Then came the wineries of Malibu, and Temecula, near San Diego. Now, California’s must-visit wine region isn’t in California at all: it’s in Baja California, 90 minutes below…

Lo que comenzó como un domingo cualquiera visitando el Valle de Guadalupe terminó convirtiéndose en una de las experiencias más memorables en la región vinícola de Baja California, esto mayormente a Vena Cava, justo a lado del hotel Villa del Valle.

There’s certainly nothing wrong with the classic wine country experience: tours through the barrel-filled cellars, tastings overlooking the lush, rolling vineyards. But once you’ve been there and done that, it might be time to try something a little – or a lot – less traditional. From underwater wine cellars in Croatia to wine-tasting cabanas in…

El sueño de Phil Gregory involucraba una hamaca y una copa de vino. Sin embargo, su realidad estaba en un estudio de música en Los Ángeles. Aquella fantasía casi idílica se volvió realidad 15 años después cuando su esposa Eileen y él conocieron Baja California. La pareja llegó por recomendación de un amigo, y después…

The road northeast from Ensenada, Mexico, to the Guadalupe Valley doesn’t feel like a route to wine country. The landscape is dry and scrubby — this is a desert, after all. Then the highway crests a hill, and the valley stretches below. It bears some resemblance to populated pockets of California’s Mojave Desert — splashes…

While I would never encourage anyone to abandon tequila, I would suggest perhaps considering a new addition to wet your palate: Mexican wines. This summer, I was introduced to a few blends produced in the Baja California Peninsula, particularly Valle de Guadalupe. The region is just a two-hour drive from San Diego, and minutes from…

Boats make excellent (and unexpected) roofs — they’re sturdy and waterproof by definition. And in Baja’s Guadalupe Valley, one of Mexico’s major wine regions, they shelter Vena Cava Winery. The winery is the creation of married architects Alejandro D’Acosta and Claudia Turrent, who run a design studio in Baja. read more GRIST, 2014

Text description provided by the architects.

It is a valley perpendicular to the sea, prevailing winds of Marian Humboldt current, surrounded by deserts and…

A lot of artists say they find inspiration in unlikely places. Architects Alejandro D’Acosta and Claudia Turrent, designers based in Ensenada, Mexico, most often find theirs digging through dumpsters and junkyards. Their work, however, isn’t remotely trashy. One of their latest creations, the Vena Cava winery in Baja’s Guadalupe Valley, is sleek and totally modern.…
