Wine Taste at
Vena Cava, Valle de Guadalupe, Baja California
View Original Description
Vena Cava in Valle de Guadalupe is the hard work of British expats Phil and Eileen Gregor, part of new generation of winemakers in the Guadalupe Valley that enjoy exploring new methods of making wine; thier goal is to create harmony between high quality wines and sustainability of the valley fields.
The great wines and unique architecture of Vena Cava have made this winery a popular choice for both customers and the media (Vena Cava has been mentioned in The New York Times, The Guardian, and NPR). Architect Alejandro D’Acosta constructed the winery out of five vintage wooden fishing boats from Ensenada, turned upside down to create the roof of the winery. Winemaker Phil Gregory can often be found around the winery regaling clients with stories and explaining his winemaking methods.
Vena Cava is one of only two wineries in the Valle de Guadalupe currently creating a sparkling wine. The Espomoso Brut Rosé is a delectable sparkling rosé that takes three years to make by hand. It’s not included in the tasting, but definitely buy a bottle to enjoy later for a special occasion.
The winery was founded 2005 and produces 7,000 - 10,000 cases/year.
