16 Days, Hawaiian Island Shores

Fine Mexican wine? That’s right–the ideal desert/mountain/seaside climate that makes Ensenada a perfect vacation destination also makes it a great grape growing region. If you’re a connoisseur of fine wines, you’ll want to take the opportunity to sample these fruits of the soon-to-be world class Mexican vine before they are discovered.

Of course, there’s much more than wine here. The oldest community on the Baja Peninsula offers a range of activities including shopping for colorful handicrafts, dining on delectable seafood, viewing the wonderful gold coast and sipping cervezas in lively cantinas.

A more perfect introduction to Mexico is difficult to imagine.
