It is an admitted fact that some of the largest producers of finest wine brands available in the market today are found in Europe. In fact, in the latest figures provided by the International Organization of Vine and Wine (OIV), the European countries Italy, France, and Spain topped the list with a combined production of 110 million hectoliters (mhl) in 2017. No wonder why a lot tourists continue to flock in this region for wine tasting.
Now the question becomes: Does this mean other regions cannot compete? Of course, they can. The truth is, a great number of tourists are now heading south for wine tasting – to Valle de Guadalupe (Guadalupe Valley) in Baja, California. This region has long been considered as the oldest wine producer of all Americas. However, it was not until 1980s that it started to blossom and later on became the producer of 80% of Mexico’s wine.
For a number of wine enthusiasts who are based in the US, the discovery of this region as the finest wine maker in America is a delightful news, most especially to those who find flying across the atlantic to be not always a favorable option. Heading south to Valle Guadalupe means tasting the finest wine, plus, it requires lesser time for travel, not to mention that it is more affordable.
If you are based in the U.S. and if traveling to Europe for now is not favorable to you for some reason, do not fret! Head right away down south to Baja, California, which is just about a two-hour drive from border of San Diego, CA.
