06.Winery
Vena Cava
Ensenada, Mexico
Vena Cava sits on Rancho San Marcos in the Valle de Guadalupe, Baja California's wine-producing corridor southeast of Ensenada. The winery operates from an address in Ejido Francisco Zarco, the agricultural heart of Mexico's most recognised wine region, and represents the Valle's shift toward production that earns attention beyond the domestic market. Plan ahead: the Valle draws serious visitors from across North America, particularly between July and October.
