We enjoyed the variety of wines and wineries and thought the ones selected (Xecue, Vina de Frannes, Lechuza, El Cielo) were great choices for us. We loved our lunch spot - Finca Altozano.
Driving through the area was quite fascinating and showed the variety of lodging in the Valle as well as wineries and restaurants. The outdoor seating available at each location and all the unique and beautiful plants added to our enjoyment. Our guide, Victor, was excellent and provided some background, history and tips which we appreciated.

I loved that the staff were very communicative and they were able to accommodate plan changes mid way our trip. The only issue I had is that I needed an accessible van and they weren’t able to accommodate that. We ended up having to fold down her wheelchair and carry my daughter on my lap. Other than that, the trip itself was nice and I like that the staff takes care of all the reservations.

Dale was our driver and he was great! Very friendly, knowledgeable and made good recommendations when plans changed a bit. Clearly ansel tours and Dale were well known at the wineries so we were treated well. Highly suggest ansel tours!

Patrick our coordinator was great. He asked what type of wineries we wanted to visit, what we were looking for and was able to set up an itinerary that kept the day filled. Our driver Dalí, was awesome. Provided recommendations, not just for the wineries we were visiting but for future plans. Very knowledgeable and provided history of Valle. 10/10 would recommend booking again.

The folks at Ansell Wine Tours were very accommodating in generating our specific tour based on our timing and wine preferences. Communication was excellent! Our tour guide, Victor, was so nice and very knowledgeable. When we took a little longer than planned at our tastings, he easily adjusted our last stop to make sure we got back to the port on time.

Fantastic wineries: Casa Frida, Bodegas Domecq and Baron Balche.
Excellent restaurant: Fauna.
Would book again.

From the initial contact to the drop off back at our ship everything was on point. Communication was amazing, they tailored the excursion to what we were looking for. Victor met us right on time and gave us great history and was knowledgeable about the entire wine county. We enjoyed the wineries and Victor's recommendation for lunch. It was a fun and relaxing day and we didn't have to fight cruise ship crowds!

Ansell was great to work with! Conveniently set up our tour, quick responses, and tour was awesome (Dali was great!)
Jake_S, Nov 2022
Our tour guide Dali was absolutely amazing. Super friendly, knowledable, and fun. We enjoyed our experience in the Valle so much and got to enjoy some delicious tacos at a locals spot that our guide recommended! We would absolutely use Ansell again for another tour of the Valle.
Christina_L, Aug 2022
The whole experience was amazing from start to finish. Paola was great with communication while personalizing our itinerary and made sure we had all the information we needed for a smooth tour experience. Dali was our tour guide/driver and was so informative and great to hang out with throughout the day. He stayed in constant communication with us and made sure we had everything we needed throughout the day. Would def do this tour again but try new wineries and restaurants. Do not hesitate to check them out next time you're in Valle.

My husband had a great tour. Unfortunately, I was sick and not able to join the tour. He had a wonderful time with his guide. Highly recommended!
Wendy_S, Jul 2022
Loved going to Bruma wine garden (amazing food) and Decantos. Skip Vena Cava as it's too far away and wines were not great. Our Driver Dali was friendly and flexible. Our only issue was when we're ready to go to the next place, he was hard to find as he was parked and was not pulled up and waiting. Also the tiny jetta was a very tight squeeze for 4 grown adults. I'd recommend you asking for larger vehicle when you book if there's more than 2 in your party. Overall our Driver knew the history of the region and the workers at the various vineyards. He was cautious and safe, so nothing was a rush.
Adan_S, Jun 2022
We had a blast on our wine/restaurant tour. He has a amazing tour guide(Emanuel) he was a local so he new a lot of Valles history and best places to eat and drink. I would definitely go back and use them again.
Vanesha_T, May 2022
It was a great quite day away from crowds of cruise ship and very relaxing and fun!! I would recommend this however tasting prices very high.
Amanda_S, May 2022
Enrique our tour person was the best, since the beginning started to be in touch with us, setting our schedule just like we ask, I would definitely recommend him and the tour
Lindsey_C, May 2022
We chose 2/4 wineries ourselves and Ansell helped us with the other two. They were very flexible and picked all 8 of us up at our AirBnB. This is a good affordable company I would recommend.
Irma_H, May 2022
Not only was our driver was punctual picking us up, but very professional and pleasant. The van was spacious, clean and had great air conditioning. Will definitely use this company again.
Yvette_O, May 2022
We were picked up outside the port area where Emanuel was waiting for us. He was very polite and took us to 2 wineries and 2 breweries. It was the best experience we had. We would not have known to visit the places we did if it were not for the assistance of Ansell Wine Tours. They were able to accomodate our request of wine and beer which worked best for my husband's taste and mine. Will use them again when we return to Ensenada.
Stacey_M, Apr 2022
Our driver, Emmanuel, made our day outstanding! As a local to the Valle, he knows all the best things.
Our original itinerary looked good but once we spoke with Emmanuel, he had a couple of custom recommendations. Every stop was better than the last!
Diane_G, Apr 2022
Dali was an amazing and knowledgeable tour guide. The wineries were gorgeous and the wines spectacular!
Kelsey_H, Feb 2022
Ansell was an excellent tour company! They helped us plan our day based on the types of wineries we wanted to visit. Beautiful vineyards with live music. Not too busy or crowded. Enrique was friendly and helpful. I would highly recommend!
Jessica_F, Dec 2021
Victor, our driver, was amazing. He was right there at the door to pick us up. This was much appreciated as It was raining and cold. He also made us feel safe and well taken care of.
Our experience at the wineries and restaurant was terrific! Each place was beautiful and welcoming in their own way. Despite the weather, we enjoyed our day.

Our driver Ricardo arrived in a nice 4-door sedan. He had bottled water handy for us. He was a safe driver and shared interesting facts about the area. He took us to 4 wineries plus gave us a quick tour of a few spots in Ensenada for food/libations.
w
1st Stop: Vinas de Frannes. What a beautiful site! It was a long, dusty road to get to the very modern wine tasting room with expansive outdoor deck overlooking the vineyard and mountains. They offer 3 wine tastings, “Cuator Vinos” $300 MEX; “Los Frannes” $400 MEX; “Legat Y Pater” $500 MEX. This winery is known for their Cabernet Franc. I opted for a glass of 2017 Cabernet Franc. Very good. I also had a glass of the 2014 Duz. I have a sweet tooth and this wine hit the spot. They also offer a good selection of food.
2nd Stop: Torres Alegres. This winery has a tasting room on the second floor of their building, which allowed for a “treetop” view of the vineyard. The wine tasting room is a modest-sized with a modern rustic charm. There was also an outdoor deck. Before we started our wine tasting, we were given a few olives and chucks of cheese, delicious! Their wines are organic, so sometimes the wines looked brownish and a bit murky, but good tasting. They offer 4 different wine tastings ranging from $300 MEX to $550 MEX. I opted for a glass of white wine, 2019 Del Viko Blanco (French Colombard/Chenin Blanc blend, $120 MEX) which was light and perfect for a hot day. I also ordered the “Tabla de Carnes Frias”, $450 MEX, and it was a delicious chartucherie board, filled with cold meats, olives and artisan breads. Yum!
3rd Stop: Paoloni (formerly Montefiori). Another beautiful setting with views of the vineyards and mountains in the background. They had a modest-sized indoor tasting room as well as a spacious outdoor deck seating area. They offer 3 different wine tastings, Premium $200 MEX; Super Premium $350 MEX; and Winemaker’s Suggestion $500 MEX. I opted for a glass of Nebbiolo de Guadalupe, $150 Mex, delicious. They offered a small but great selection of food including pasta dishes like duck-filled ravioli, green fettuccini with mushrooms and gorgonzola cheese, salmon and asparagus tagliatelle as well as Italian desserts. Most dishes ranged from $11 USD to $14 USD.
4th Stop: Vena Cava. Innovative use of recycled materials throughout this winery. Unfortunately we were there late in the day and it was so busy, we weren’t able to have an adequate wine tasting. Actually, I didn’t have any wine. I just checked out the place and it’s interesting use of materials…old boats were converted to roofs; wine bottle bottoms used to create a light-rayed door, water life saving rings as mirrors. There’s a food truck, “Troika” but we out of luck there too. But I hear the food is good. I’ll have to come back to try their wines.
Elizabeth_C, Aug 2021
I highly recommend Ansell Wine tours, they went above and beyond making sure we had a good time. We ran into a lot of issues the morning of the tour, making us push back the time. However, they were extremely flexible and understanding. Our tour guide, Ricardo, was also very helpful and understanding allowing us to enjoy the rest of the day.
Marci_R, May 2021
Are they spent winetasting was amazing, Victor knew all the ins and outs of the area and exactly where to take us.
Keri_P, Feb 2021
Overall great experience! Great communication leading up to the tour from the whole company. They planned the perfect mix of wineries/places to visit and took into account our needs/ideas as well when doing so. Victor, our driver, was right on time and we had the best day. Loved that the transport was private, everything was on our time, and the reservations were all taken care of by Ansell ahead of time. Would highly recommend them & use them again!
