When we think about the Baja California’s wines we all talk about “The Wine Route” located in the valleys at Ensenada, Mexico; but just some people know about “The Old Wine Route” in which the wine culture of Baja California started.

Muchos hemos visitado o por lo menos escuchado hablar acerca de la Ruta del Vino en los valles vitivinícolas en el municipio de Ensenada, pero pocos conocemos la “Antigua Ruta del Vino” donde inicio el movimiento vitivinícola en Baja California.

A few days before the spectacular Emmanuel’s performance that is going to take place in Ensenada, we want to share with you some information about his life and career…

Nieto de un gran bailador de flamenco, hijo del matador de toros Raúl Acha “Rovira” y de la cantante y actriz española Conchita Martínez, no es raro que Emmanuel incursione en el mundo del arte. De chico vivió en España y Perú, en este último a los doce años de edad incursiona a la profesión de torero en una pequeña plaza de toros, a las afueras de Lima, llamada “Del Bosque”.

At the beginning of the 2010 we started a big renovation process that involved different areas of our facilities like Antares Restaurant, Arrecife Bar, our lobby and the big stars, our suites. Proud of the regional wine and considering that our state produces almost a 80% of the Mexican wine we decided to build a wine cellar inside of our restaurant, which provides the opportunity to purchase wines to take home at a very similar price as the vineyards or to enjoy them with a delicious meal or dinner with just paying corkage.

August is a very special month in Baja California especially in the wine valleys from Ensenada. In this warm month the vineyards begin with the harvest activities to produce their delicious wine, that is why during this season the “Harvest Festival” is organized, which is a celebration to thank the land for the production in the year. The origin of this festival is from the ancient Greece where celebrations were held in reverence to Dionysus, the god of wine.

Un mes muy especial en Baja California es Agosto, sobre todo en los valles vitivinícolas de Ensenada en los que en este cálido mes inician con la pizca de la uva, siendo este el primer paso para la elaboración del vino.
