Ensenada Cruise Excursions: Wine, Food & Things to Do

Visiting Ensenada on a Cruise? Here’s What You Can Do During Your Stop

If your cruise is stopping in Ensenada, Mexico, you have plenty of options beyond staying around the cruise port. With a few hours ashore, you can visit wineries, try some of Baja California’s famous food, explore the city, or head out to La Bufadora.

At Wine in Mexico Tours, we offer private shore excursions designed around your ship’s schedule. We meet guests just outside the cruise port and make sure the itinerary leaves enough time to return to the ship.

Visit Valle de Guadalupe

One of our most popular options is a Valle de Guadalupe wine tour from the Ensenada cruise port.

Valle de Guadalupe is Baja California’s best-known wine region, with more than 100 wineries ranging from small boutique producers to larger wineries with restaurants and panoramic views.

Depending on your time in port, your private tour can include wineries such as:

  • Decantos Vinícola — Modern architecture and beautiful views across the valley.

  • Emevé — A great option for guests who want to focus on Mexican wine.

  • Cava Maciel — A smaller winery for a more intimate experience.

  • Hacienda Montero — A relaxed stop away from some of the larger tourist wineries.

  • Vinos Cruz — Another boutique option for travelers looking for a smaller winery experience.

We can also add a stop for local tacos, seafood, cheese or lunch in Valle de Guadalupe.

Explore Ensenada and Its Food

You don’t have to leave the city to have a great day.

Ensenada is known for its seafood and local gastronomy, and the waterfront and downtown areas are easy places to experience the city during a cruise stop.

We can build a private food-focused excursion with stops for fish and shrimp tacos, ceviche, tostadas, carne asada and other Baja favorites, while also giving you time to explore downtown Ensenada.

Visit La Bufadora

If wine isn’t your thing, La Bufadora is another popular option. This natural marine geyser south of Ensenada can send water high into the air and is one of the region’s best-known attractions.

A La Bufadora excursion can also include local food and sightseeing along the way.

Private Cruise Excursions with Wine in Mexico Tours

Instead of following a large group, our private Ensenada cruise excursions can be customized around what you actually want to do.

Choose a wine tour, food tour, La Bufadora, sightseeing, or a combination depending on how long your ship is in port.

We provide private transportation, a local bilingual driver/guide, and an itinerary planned around your cruise schedule.

Whether this is your first visit to Ensenada or you’ve been here before, we can help you use your few hours ashore to see more of Baja California.
