From Desert to Vineyard: The Comondú Oasis Story, Mexico | SLICE EARTH | FULL DOCUMENTARY

Located in Baja California, Mexico, Comondú is one of 120 oases scattered along this vast 1,200 km long desert. With only a few days of rain each year and temperatures soaring to 50 degrees, Comondú thrives thanks to its natural water sources. These sources enabled the first European Californians to conquer this desert region and achieve the miraculous feat of growing grape vines in the desert.

Researchers are captivated by this Eldorado where water turns into wine. In an era of rising global temperatures, oases like Comondú could hold valuable lessons for the future.

Discover how the men and women of this small paradise adapt to extreme temperatures and thrive in the desert.
