The Rosarito Rotary Club has announced the third edition of its annual Rosarito Winefest 2025, a charity event featuring 20 renowned wineries from the Guadalupe Valley and 16 acclaimed chefs from across Baja California. The festival will take place on Saturday, July 26, at the State Center for the Arts Rosarito (CEART), beginning at 4 p.m.
While showcasing the region’s vibrant culinary scene, the festival aims to support three meaningful causes focused on local children and youth.
One of the beneficiaries is Casa Hogar Horizontes, a children’s home that provides shelter and care for vulnerable boys and girls. Another is the Centro de Atención Múltiple Laboral, a vocational center that trains young people with disabilities for productive work. The third initiative funds scholarships for children to take art, music, and performance workshops offered by CEART.
Proceeds from the festival will directly support these three programs.
Guests will enjoy a wide variety of gourmet tastings prepared by some of the top chefs and restaurants in the region. General admission is 1,000 pesos in advance or 1,200 pesos at the door. Tickets include a commemorative wine glass, unlimited wine tastings, food samples, and live entertainment featuring mariachi and traditional Mexican dance performances.
