Timeline
16:19
Arrive at Vena Cava well before the sun sets. The tasting room features a ceiling made of abandoned boats from Ensenada, a striking conversation starter. Grab a glass of their straightforward Granache or a Sauvignon Blanc blend and settle in.
17:04
Step outside to the viewing spot just SSE of the main building. Face WSW to catch the sunset. The sky will turn as the light fades over the Valle de Guadalupe hills.
17:34
Head back inside for a nightcap. The tasting room stays open until 17:00 on January 15, so you have time to finish your drink as the stars come out.
Local tip
Vena Cava closes at 17:00 in January. Plan your evening so you are ready to leave or wrap up your drink right at closing time.
