    Fun trip

    Great trip! The wine tasting was so good and we really enjoyed the cheese cave tasting and lunch as well. Very unique and fun excursion. Heads up that’s it’s over an hour drive to the first stop but totally worth it.

    Excellent tour of wine country

    This was an amazing wine and cheese tour. It was like visiting Napa 50 years ago!! The wine was spectacular and the vineyards beautiful and isolated. No crowds, no selling or pressure. We got off the cruise and our driver was calling us directly so TURN ON YOUR SERVICE! Peoples other post was about getting lost. You can’t just ask the guards and follow people out the port. First we went to margarita museum at our request. Really cool history. Then 1 hour drive into the country . This was spectacular in April, scenic views. What Southern California looked like before all the development. Then 1 hour tasting at winery. We were all by ourselves and could ask the owner a million questions and hear about their awards. Then off to cheese farm. Really neat cheese cave and tour. The lunch was super filling and more vino!! The staff was so friendly. Our driver was hilarious. Taught us all about Ensenada history. We loved this tour. Relaxing, authenticity, felt so chill compared to California wine tours! Highly recommended!!

    Cheese testing.

    The event was a boring and tedious experience. The guide person spoke in a monotone mode that made it hard to understand. The food was poor, we just got a piece of mushroom with cheese over it and the wait was too much. I was very disappointed with this event. Luckily the driver was great and made our time a bit better by keeping us engage in conversation during the transportation time.

    Misleading meeting place!

    We could not find our guide! The directions were tough- said to pass shops & look for a sign. Had no idea we had to pass through many tour busses to an isolated shopping area! Missed the tour!

    Response from the operator: Wendy, every day more than 50 people found us without any issue. I have sent you meeting instructions and also a picture of the meeting place. Really sorry about this.

    Could have been much better, if only....

    A fair amount of miscommuication - advertised pickup and drop off at cruise terminal including picture of the building where to meet - that was changed to a pickup/drop off location 1/2 mile away. We also were told by the Cheese Tour that we were 30 minutes late but didn't have any notice of that during the first part of the trip and we were limited to what we could see. The first portion - the wine tasting was very very nice! It was close to town and the contact at the winery was splendid. Our driver was very pleasant but the overall company needs to improve.

    Ensenada Shore Excursion: Wine and Cheese Tour with Lunch in Ojos Negros Valley: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Ensenada.

    How much does Ensenada Shore Excursion: Wine and Cheese Tour with Lunch in Ojos Negros Valley cost?

    +

    Prices start at $235 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Ensenada usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Ensenada Shore Excursion: Wine and Cheese Tour with Lunch in Ojos Negros Valley take?

    +

    Plan for about 5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Ensenada is not rushed.

    Is Ensenada Shore Excursion: Wine and Cheese Tour with Lunch in Ojos Negros Valley worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 47 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4/5 across 9 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable food & drink in Ensenada, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Ensenada Shore Excursion: Wine and Cheese Tour with Lunch in Ojos Negros Valley?

    +

    No. This experience is sold on a non-refundable basis, so only book a date you are confident about. Similar experiences in the city do offer free cancellation if flexibility matters more than price.

    Is Ensenada Shore Excursion: Wine and Cheese Tour with Lunch in Ojos Negros Valley suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Ensenada Shore Excursion: Wine and Cheese Tour with Lunch in Ojos Negros Valley?

    +

    Around 3 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Ensenada can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Ensenada and add a light layer if any part of the 5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Ensenada Shore Excursion: Wine and Cheese Tour with Lunch in Ojos Negros Valley start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Ensenada within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Ensenada?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Ensenada experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Guadalupe Valley Wine Route Tour in Baja California, Couple Tour, Xecue Wine Tasting in the Guadalupe Valley. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Ensenada?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Ensenada?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
