VALLE DE GUADALUPE
Valle de Guadalupe was originally populated by indigenous Yuman groups, especially the KUMIAI, who consider themselves binational and live in ranches or mountain ranges in both the state of Baja California, in northwest Mexico, and in southern California, USA. It is estimated that there are currently 200 families living on the Mexican side and that human activity there is 10,000 years old.
The winemaking history of Valle de Guadalupe began in the 19th century with the arrival of Spanish missions and Russian families. Because of its fertile soil, its streams, its pastures and its proximity to the sea, it has been appreciated since ancient times. In 1834, Dominican monks established the Mission of Our Lady of Guadalupe; although their intention was to evangelize, they began the cultivation of vines to produce wine and celebrate the liturgy.
The Wine Route emerged in Valle de Guadalupe. It is a wine-growing region located near the Pacific Ocean, in the municipality of Ensenada, Baja California, immersed in a Mediterranean climate with ideal characteristics such as wind and water for the cultivation of the best vines.
