Jorge, our tour guide, was our favorite part about the experience!! Our trip to Ojos Negros was so memorable because we were able to see Ensenada through the eyes of someone who loves their hometown! 💗 We shared stories of our shared experiences from each side of the border. My husband lived in Mexico as a child and hasn’t been back since our children were born and the drive to the vineyards was incredible: informative, fun and entertaining. La Cava de Marcelo was a highlight of the tour - our guide there was Elias, he was young and so well-imformed and funny. We asked tons of questions as we were there more for the cheese than the vino. 🧀😋 Also highly recommend the lavender farm- Aleyah-Granja de Lavanda: idyllic piece of heaven with wonderful service and amazing food 🔥. The kids adored all the animals on this farm-to-table wonderland. Everything on the tour was epic but most of all Thank you Jorge for an unforgettable day!!!!💓Best tour we have taken!
