The Valle de Guadalupe Fiestas de la Vendimia (Wine Harvest Festival) will take place this year from July 29-August 22, 2021. For tickets and more information, please visit the Provino Website.

The Vendimia is a series of elite parties and events held mostly at individual wineries. Galas, dinners, wine tastings and grand parties celebrate the harvest season for the grapes and showcase the local cuisine and wine. There are a few larger events hosted by the Provino (the organization that puts on the festival) where many of the wineries are present and thousands of people join together to enjoy the local wine and regional cuisine. Those events include the Muestra del Vino (wine tasting event) that kicks off the Vendimia, and the Concurso de Paellas (Paella contest) that closes the Vendimia.

Tickets for all events should be purchased in advance and as soon as possible (the most popular events sell out quickly). Tickets for most events tend to be expensive, but there are a few free events and some more affordable ones as well. Hotels should also be booked early as the valley fills up quickly during Vendimia. Check out our list of Valle de Guadalupe hotels. We recommend staying in Ensenada or Rosarito if the Valle de Guadalupe is booked.

The main events for the 2019 Vendimia are listed below. Please contact the organizers directly using the information provided below if you need more information about tickets or the event. Please note that information and events are subject to change.
