Also One of the oldest bars in Mexico is located in Ensenada “Hussongs”. It is even said that the town was built around this bar.

lagoons of Baja California Sur. Ensenada also
produces 90% of all the wines in Mexico in the Valle of Guadalupe. This area has several wineries offering tasting's, and every year during the month of August, the beginning of wine harvest season is celebrated in the Guadalupe Valley and in the city of Ensenada with a two week long series of cultural and culinary events, all under the title banner of Fiestas de la Vendimia (Wine Harvest Festival).
