In 2019, winemaker Hugo D'Acosta and chef Benito Molina embark on a journey across Baja California, traveling over 1,000 kilometers from Ensenada to San Ignacio. Amid vast deserts, rugged mountains, and pristine coastlines, they confront the land's stunning beauty and scars from human development. From Valle de Guadalupe's vineyards to San Ignacio's tranquil oasis, they reflect on community, sustainability, and the irreversible impact of actions on this fragile environment. Through conversations with locals, they explore personal transformations and the balance of tradition and innovation in wine and cuisine.
