Ensenada, Mexico

After one day at sea, we docked at 8:30, but our wine tour starts at 9:30. We left ship as soon as it docked walked slowly toward tour bus.
Ensanada greeted us with a rainy cold weather, but we got our new rain jacket when we boarded the ship and now we are not afraid of the rain. Plus we saw multiple rainbows.
We were first for the tour and other four came shortly after that.
The city itself is not very interesting. After driving through the city, we continued driving through the country side. The further we drove, the more grapevines we saw. There are 150 wineries in that region. Some are small, but few are very large.

Our first stop was Cetto winery. It is one of the largest in this region. We tasted four wines, some bread, cheese and olives. In addition to grapes they are growing olives and many fruits and vegetables. The climate in this area is similar to some of Italy places.

The second stop was small, private winery where we also got to taste four wines, three different kind of bread. One is sweet with fruits, one spicy with pepper and one is normal, also more cheese and garlic infused olive oil.

The whole tour with driving took close to four hours and around 1:10PM we reached the city (actually touristy street) with lots of shops. Since we are not interested in any of these stuff, we walked back toward the ship. After drinking all these wines, I was pretty wasted. We came back on the ship and I fell asleep for few minutes.
In the evening we are going to Terrace Cafe. The chef is cooking fish.
Next two days are at see before we arrive to the next port.Read more
