Private Cheese and Wine Tasting Tour at Cava de Marcelo

During the California Gold Rush, Swiss immigrants came to Baja to earn their fortune. After a little luck in the gold business, Mr. Ramonetti went on to do what he knew best —make Swiss cheese. The result is Rancho Cava de Marcelo.

The historic ranch is nestled 30 minutes southeast of Ensenada in Ojos Negros. Today, Rancho Cava de Marcelo is the best artisan cheese maker in Ensenada. In addition to Swiss cheese, they also craft their own gelato, which you can pair with a dozen different types of aged cheeses (3 months to 3 years). All the Baja wine and cheese tastings happen underground in their cellar, but not before getting a full tour of the ranch and the entire cheese making process.

After pairing delicious cheese with wine from Valle de Guadalupe, you will be treated to the best outdoor meal. Lunch consists of organic meat, fish, seafood, and vegetables all prepared on the grill and smoked to perfection.
