Each year, the festivities attract thousands of visitors from Mexico, the United States, and beyond, solidifying Baja California as one of Latin America’s most dynamic wine destinations. “The Wine Harvest is more than just a series of events,” López noted. “It is a reflection of our heritage, our creativity, and the spirit of a community that continues to grow through its passion for wine.”
