Valle De Ojos Negros Ensenada

Located 38 kilometers (approximately 23.6 miles.) from Ensenada and southeast from Valle de Guadalupe. The history of the Ojos Negros Valley in Baja California is marked by mining, agriculture, and more recently, viticulture. Initially, the area attracted miners during the gold rush in 1870, leading to the founding of Real del Castillo, which was briefly the capital of Baja California. After the decline of mining, the region was rediscovered for its potential to produce fresh wines, especially from varieties like Chardonnay and Cabernet Sauvignon, becoming an important wine valley.

A very captivating fact is the origin of its current name, Ojos Negros. It is said that in 1894, it was named this because of two nearby oval-shaped wetlands that resembled two black eyes.
