Where are we traveling?
Baja CaliforniaMexico
The Valley of Guadalupe
Some call it the new Napa of California, but a visit to its vineyards, hotels and restaurants shows that it has its own identity: we present to you the Guadalupe Valley! This northern tip of the Baja California peninsula is actually one of the oldest wine-growing regions in the New World. Jesuit priests cultivated vines there in the 18th century, and the first commercial winery opened in 1888. A few hours from downtown San Diego, just across the Mexican border, is this beautiful place made up of green valleys and hills covered with rocks. Its dry, hot summers and cooler, wetter winters, combined with porous soil and refreshing sea breezes, are ideal for growing grapes.
The little history of the country
Mexico
Mexico is known for producing many things. Premium tequila? Naturally. A refreshing beer? Obviously. Top quality wines? This is what we will see...
Established in the 16th century in Mexico by the conquistadors, it was from Mexico that the vine spread to America. The first monastic vines were cultivated in the center of the country. Today, the 26,000 hectares of vines are divided into 5 regions, the most important of which is Baja California. At the cutting edge of technology like their neighbors in the United States, it is precisely this corner of Mexico that makes the country's wines famous. The region, which stands out for its Mediterranean microclimate and its altitude of 300 meters, has been producing Mexico's best wines for 30 years.
With the recent opening of several well-known hotels and restaurants, it has become known to both discerning Mexicans looking for a local drink and Californians looking for a hipper alternative to the Napa Valley. After all, the region is the closest wine country to Southern California, an hour and a half drive from San Diego and just under four hours from Los Angeles.
The valleys of Guadalupe, San Vicente, San Antonio, las Minas and Tecate are the valleys where the great LA Cetto vineyards are located. This wide variety of terroir allows you to take advantage of the different microclimates and soils which benefit from winds and sea breezes. These are large vineyards which are recognized not only for their great beauty but also because they make it possible to obtain high quality wines, notably with vineyards up to 80 years old.
