The city is backed by small mountain ranges.
Due to its location on the Pacific Ocean and Mediterranean latitude, the weather tends to be mild year-round.
Although the winter rain season is short and the area is prone to prolonged droughts,
Ensenada sits in the heart of a wine country that is widely regarded as the best in Mexico.
It is said that the first vitis vinifera made it to the peninsula (specifically to the San Ignacio Mission) in 1703,
when Jesuit Padre Juan de Ugarte planted the first vineyards there.
