Known for its historic oasis, agricultural heritage and whale-watching, the municipality of Comondú will host its first Vendimia Del Cinco Harvest Festival, featuring wine tastings, live music, and the participation of restaurants and producers from across Baja California Sur.
According to the 2020 Census, Comondú has a population of 73,020. The municipality is about 220 kilometers north of La Paz along Highway 1.
The festival will be held Saturday, July 11, 2026, at Rancho El Chino.
The event celebrates Del Cinco artisanal wine, produced from 100% organic grapes grown in the community of La Toba in the Santo Domingo Valley.
Wine Tastings, Food, and Live Music
Maribel Collins, director of the Baja California Sur Ministry of Tourism and Economy (SETUE), said the festival will feature 25 restaurants, four oyster farms, local producers, wine tastings, live music, and chefs from municipalities throughout the state.
Visitors will be able to sample dishes prepared with locally sourced ingredients, taste Baja California Sur wines, and explore exhibits highlighting the work of regional producers, restaurateurs and service providers. “This harvest festival represents an opportunity to expand the reach of our products and strengthen the economic activity of our communities,” Collins said.
In addition to the food fair, the program includes tastings of the four Vino Del Cinco labels and the traditional grape-stomping ceremony.
Festival organizer Viñedo Del Cinco also confirmed the participation of the comedy group Los Huizapoles, which will perform during the event. Singer María García will headline the live musical entertainment.
Participating businesses include Chamizzo Restaurant, Coffee Break, Shipwrecked Adventures, Don Donas, The House of Coffee, NOVE Restaurants, Charos Seafood, Don Luis Croissant & More, Cecinas Medina’s and SUCRÉ Pâtisserie, among others.
Loreto will also be represented by several restaurants and members of its bar association, who will offer dishes inspired by the city’s cuisine.
Four oyster farms will participate, including the Nativos de Zaragoza cooperative, which will showcase its oysters as a complement to the wine tastings.
