How does this channel not have more subscribers? This is a television-quality show. Writing, content, host, direction...could easily be on Travel Channel or similar. Cheers to making such an informative look at the valle!
My wife and I were married at Vena Cava's hotel (La Villa Del Valle) in mid-2018, and having been to the region a dozen or so times before that, we're making our first trip back later this week. Can't wait to see what new surprises the valle has in store. This served as a great hype video for our trip.
Jason, thank you so much for the kind words! We work really hard, so it's always great to hear the work is appreciated! Hoping one day we'll be on some sort of channel for sure! The Valle is growing so fast, I'm sure there's a ton of new things since you've been back. I'd love to visit Vena Cava, I got to the know the owners a bit and they invited me to visit; so it's definitely on our list for next time. Have a wonderful trip, and thanks again for subscribing! (PS; I've got all the locations we visited, as well as other recs, and the wine from the episode for sale, on the website page visforvino.com/ensenada-mexico in case you want to check out any of the wineries!)
Exactly! What Jason said. This video is incredible--so impressive in its quality. I'm kicking around the idea of a trip to Valle in November. I typed, "valle de guadalupe baja california" in the search box in TH-cam and this video was the first hit. Vince was made for the camera--so personable. I'm sold on Valle now. Already forwarded the link to a few friends.
@@DavidDavid888 Thanks so much David! I’m so glad you found the channel, and hope you get to visit the Valle soon! Appreciate the forwarding of the show to friends; it’s the #1 way we grow!
@@visforvino Vince, I saw you this morning on WGN with Robin and Larry!!! I'm a fan of all three of you!
@@DavidDavid888 love it!! And love WGN!
I loved the dinner with 6 winemakers. What kind genuine people, I wish I was sitting at the table with them. I never heard of orange wine. I will support them by buying some.
It was a really special evening, I was honored to be a part of it!
Very proud watching that my country is already being recognized in the wine industry!! 2024 is a big year to mexican wine , in June of the current year the Councours Mondial Bruxelles will happen in Leon Guanajuato , Mexico. So im hoping you can came and film again in Mexico but now in Queretaro , that right now is the 2nd state in Mexico that is very popular for the great wines that you can find here !!! Love your videos !! Thanks for sharing all the cool places around the world ...
Thank you for watching, this was one of my favorite episodes ever!
One of my new favorite bottles is Teziano by Norte 32. An almost 6 year old Nebbiolo wine made at a 6 person wine operation started by a former AeroMexico pilot.
Oh cool! Hope I can visit again and check it out.
Just visited Valle for a couple days and our last meal was at Fauna. Amazing!!
So great right?!
Absolutely great job capturing the essence of Valle de Guadalupe. Perfect blend of keeping it accessibly friendly, while not downplaying the complexity of the local wine arteries.
Thank you for the kind words! This episode was particularly hard to define, and I’m so glad we did it justice!
I’m headed down in December. Thank you for sharing this great episode.
Thank you for watching! That's so awesome. I'm so happy how many people are heading down and checking out this region!
Me quede asombrado con la sabiduría y el detalle a cada una de las cosas y momentos que se le dan a todo, aprendi mucho esta noche y solo quería agradecer a V is for vino y al talentoso Mr.Vince Anter.
Can't wait to share this episode and the Chanel with close friends and family.
Gracias ABNORMAL SAINT
Thank you so much. Beautiful country!!
And thanks for getting back to production
Absolutely, it's good to be back. Thanks for watching!
Thanks so much for this video! I'm visiting el Valle for the first time in a few weeks and I'm so stoked to check out the "wild west of wine!"
Yes! I’m so excited for you, have a blast!
We were introduced to Mexican wine through Joel and Isreal (Palace/Le Blanc resort somelier's). We like quite a few of them!!!
There is some amazing stuff coming from there for sure!!!
This is a jewel of a show, being a Baja native, I can really appreciate your insight, can't wait to go back to Ensenada to enjoy the next vendimia, cheers!
Such a wonderful place!
Thank you for including ourselves in your video I just wanted to add that we also give information of ensenada and activities for families ride in the horse carruage
Of course, I hope people come visit your wonderful area!!
Amazing video! Love from Japan!
Hope to visit Japan soon!!
I've known Josh for nearly 30 years. He's a stud in the wine industry and an all around great guy. Anyone reading this should definitely look into The Grape Underground and Take In Baja. This is all very great content. Cheers, gentlemen!
Thank you Bob! Josh was a big part of this episode happening, he’s the best! Lucky to know him!
This whole video is very well done. 👌
Thanks Bob! Hopefully we get to do a tour together soon.
I am so late to the show! Thank you for that highly informative content. I am learning so much but in an entertaining non-boring way. I live in Mexico (east side) but I will be planning a trip to Baja soon!
Glad to have you on board!!
You captured what it was needed it to be captured. The essence of the Valle. I was there for the first time last weekend and I’m planning on my next visit. Absolutely breathtaking.
I'm so glad you saw the magic there that I saw!
I like it! Thanks for do it. I love wine, a mexican winelover, ! Next program , go to Ezequiel montes, RUTA DEL VINO, QUERÉTARO!!! MEXICO.
So glad you enjoyed the video! And thank you for the tips!
I came for content about VDG and left knowing a lot more about wine. Great content.
Thank you! Yes, VDG is a magical place!
Awesome documentary guys..! I was at a wine tasting at Planet Hollywood Cancun last November and at the end of the tasting, our sommelier told us they were all Mexican wines from the Baja and we were amazed by the quality! I was at another tasting years ago in the same area and it wasn't that at all. Fantastic night. I am looking forward to get there in the Baja next and see it for real as I have a dream to invest in this universe where it can be more affordable than up here. I live close to a nice wine valley under a big time development called the Okanagan here in Western Canada where winemakers are coming from all over the world. They now grow almost everything you can imagine and they're winning world blind tasting competitions. Maybe you should look at it :). If one day you decide to come around, don't hesitate to contact me as I could help you. I know some great people in the wine industry in the area. :) Cheers 🍷
Happy to hear you’ve witnessed the evolution of the region first hand! It really is remarkable there, and I hope you get to visit. And YES a Canada episode is super high in my list; hoping we can film there soon! Shoot me an email at vince@visforvino.com If you have a moment, I’d love to chat further about it!
Tried Okanagan wines when I visited Vancouver. Incredible wines. On my list to travel to next!
The best video of Baja wine
Thank you so much!!

A wonderful programme. I would never have imagined such vino diversity in Mexico. But after watching your episode, it’s logical. Thank you for bring this to air. All the best - Craig
It’s a magical place for sure!!
Vince! Another great video! The quote over lunch nailed it - “how rich are we!” Such a special afternoon. I’m heading to Binny’s tomorrow to try some wine from the valle. Thank you for the education!

@@ramonguzman92 Awesome, I hop you do! Hit up the page on the website (visforvino.com/ensenada-mexico) for all the spots we visit in the episode, plus a few more! Don't miss La Cocina de Doña Esthela!
Just found this channel - great content !
Thank you so much! Enjoy the other episodes, and more to come!!
I’ve just binge watched a bunch of episodes and simply cannot understand why you don’t have 1M subs. Top notch quality. Hooked :)
@@Matts-ju1xo Thanks brother! Hopefully we’re on our way!!
Muy buen video . Saludoss👍👍👍🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽👋👋👋
Gracias!!
The host did a really great job here
Mexican wine.... what? I must go to valle tomorrow.
It’s worth the trip!!
Fantastic video, leaves much to be desired. I just recently discovered some gems from here on a trip to Quintana Roo. Never knew about Mexican wines before it. This video shed a lot of light.
I will be sure to make a trip
You 100% should, its a magical place. And if you're in SoCal, so close!
Wow...awesome video! By far my favorite video showcasing Valle de Guadalupe wines and food. Hope you will one day do a follow up video/trip to explore other Valle de Guadalupe wineries. I've had wines from Vena Cava, Santo Tomas, and Lechuza. My go to wineries are Vena Cava and Monte Xanic. I was in Ensenada back in early 2019 visiting relatives and we didn't get a chance to visit the Valle but we did have lots of vino from the Valle. Was planning a trip last year to revisit my relatives with a planned trip to the Valle but that didn't happen for obvious reasons. Luckily, I have access to Mexican wines as I, too, am in Southern Cali (suburb of L.A.). Anyway, again, awesome video and glad you enjoyed your trip and the persons you met (and introduced to us were great). Keep up the great work and so glad you are back. Salud!
Thank you so much! We loved this episode as well. And you’re right, so much great wine to explore there. We hope we can be back soon for sure. And so close to SoCal, I never knew! Hope more people take the short drive over the border, it’s worth it. Good to hear from you as always, thanks again!
Not a wine person , but Going to Vallle next week ! 🙏🏻
Don’t worry, there’s also a great food and craft beer scene!
@@visforvino yes! thnk you , appreciate it
U should do an update.
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
I found my hangover remedy by accident! BF had one and I didn’t after drinking heavy night before. I was drinking Kombucha and he was not….Found out that the little bit of caffeine and alcohol works wonders! Let me know if you’ve tried it! LOVE your videos!
Thank you so much! And yes, I love hearing hangover remedies! I’m going to try that!
15:40 looks like Vince is feeling a strong 8 to light 9 on this video
We love your show and we're heading down to Ensenada next week following your track :) would you mind sharing the name and contact info of your body the wine tour guide?
100% His name is Josh from Take In Baja! www.takeinbaja.com/ I also have his info on my website on the Ensenada page - he'll take great care of you!
@@visforvino thank you very much
Lodi respresent ✊
Haha hopefully a Lodi episode is in the works soon!
How come we don't see those big reds in California, are there some regulations for Mexican wines in the states?
Partially! Exporting is generally expensive with all the regulations and taxes, and MX isn’t an incredibly wealthy wine area, so it’s tough for the mostly small producers of the region. CA also sees it as a threat to their wine industry. You can’t even bring wine you buy as a consumer in MX across the border to CA when you drive back (except a single bottle per person). Also, the Mexican government taxes the wine heavily, so it makes it tough on the producers to have enough margin on the wine to make it worth exporting.
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌
La suegra Ahead From haggard Snyder Years Old Bartender de Margarita Was invente en Juárez Chihuahua True Story
I watched this video, and I really enjoy your stuff. But the statement that compares the number of Baja wineries to California is completely stupid. You said Baja has over 100 wineries and that compares with California. California has nearly 5000 wineries. The US has over 11000. I backed up this video and watched it over and yes that's what you said. Really???
Hi David! Glad you're enjoying the episodes! I think you missed a word there...at 5:06 I compare it to "Lodi" California, which is a wine region in inland California (thats much more well known than Baja even though its the same-ish size was the point I was trying to make). Because your're right, it is definitely not as large as all of California!
@@visforvino Ah my bad, thanks for the correction.
