Chateau Camou

Meet Fernando Favela, owner and winemaker of Chateau Camou, a family-owned winery from Guadalupe Valley (Baja California).

Fernando was born in Durango and worked as an electrical and mechanical engineer before following his passion for wine. The family bought an old vineyard, known as “La Cañada del Trigo” in 1993. The vineyard is located in a small canyon surrounded by hills on three sides, and it has its own water source which flows down from Tecate and feeds two wells in the property.

This unique geographic location combined with Fernando’s meticulous and perfectionist viticulture approach are the force behind the success of Chateau Camou.
