Museo de la Vid y El Vino


Who knew that the first wines in the Americas were produced in Baja? Follow the fascinating history of wine in the region via dioramas (in Spanish, but English speakers are given a binder with English translations) and a few artifacts. The bright, modern building (complete with cafe and gift shop) makes this even more of a worthwhile stop.
