Baja California, a strip of land between the Pacific Ocean and the Gulf of California, consists of seven valleys, notably Guadalupe Valley, which produce 70% of Mexico's wine. These valleys serve as climatic bubbles with thermal regulation due to surrounding bodies of water. Indigenous peoples originally inhabited the area until European colonizers introduced viniculture in the 17th century through Jesuit missionaries. Later, Russian Molokan emigrants settled in the early 20th century, furthering agricultural knowledge and contributing to the region's economic growth through wine production.
The Baja California peninsula, bordered by the Pacific Ocean and the Gulf of California, is home to seven intertwined valleys contributing to 70% of Mexico's wine production.
Vine cultivation was initiated by European colonizers, but it gained formal establishment with Jesuit missionaries in the 17th century who brought European vines.
