San Rafael Winery Family own winery that begins the adventure to establish first vineyards in one of the valleys in the region of Ensenada. San Rafael Valley, better known by the suggestive name of Ojos Negros, is where the wine cellars in San Rafael were established. A valley located 800 meters above sea level, with variations in a wide temperature range, which benefits the cultivation of grapes. It is said that the name of the valley comes from the existence of two bogs that at nightfall reflect the moon as if it were the mysterious eyes of a beautiful woman.
