The 2024 Fiestas de la Vendimia kicked off this friday August 2nd in style as wine lovers gathered at Ensenada’s Riviera Cultural Center for the much-anticipated Muestra del Vino. Now in its 34th edition, this event showcased some of the best wines that Baja California has to offer. Guests had the chance to sample 168 different wines—reds, whites, and rosés—from various local producers. With commemorative glasses in hand, attendees strolled through the event, stopping at different stations to sip and chat with winemakers. And of course, what’s wine without great food? Over 50 top-notch local restaurants brought their best dishes, pairing perfectly with the wines on offer.
It wasn’t just about the wine. Live music filled the air as guests wandered the scenic gardens and halls of the Riviera Center. From norteño beats to smooth jazz and lively cumbia, the music had everyone in good spirits. And to cap off the evening, Kinky rocked the stage, lighting up the night with their electric performance.
This year’s event wasn’t limited to showcasing Baja California wines. Chihuahua was featured as a guest wine region, adding a bit of variety to the offerings and building connections between different wine-producing areas in Mexico.
If you missed it, don’t worry. Muestra del Vino is an annual must-do. With a ticket price of 1,350 pesos, it definitely was a great deal for a night filled with fantastic wine, gourmet food, and live entertainment. Just remember, it’s an adults-only event—no kids or pets allowed.
Just like every year Muestra del Vino isn’t just a wine tasting event—it’s a celebration of Mexican wine culture, where great flavors and good times come together. Ready for next year?
