Worst winery in the Valle. No signage. We had reservations for 7. You think that they would welcome the dollars. 3 of our party was able to find the place. The guards directed the other 4 the wrong way we were 30 minutes late and they said we would have to wait another 90 minutes in a boiling hot waiting area. I'm am recovering from cancer and the heat and wild goose chase made me ill. The staff, guards, host were extremely rude. I wouldn't recommend this place to any one. There are so many wonderful wineries with great staff. We come to the Valle at least once a month and spend a great deal of money here, often buying a case or more at a time. Big Fail here!!!!!!!!!!
THIS REVIEW IS FOR THE HOTEL ONLY This property sits a hotel, winery, and restaurant. We stayed at Casa Ocho in Room 7 at Bruma and absolutely loved it. We checked in around midnight and the staff made it ridiculously easy, they were super responsive on WhatsApp and had someone basically waiting for our arrival to guide us to where we needed to be. The moment we walked into the room, it felt like stepping into a desert-chic dream. Slippers and robes waiting for us was a small thing, but much appreciated after our 4 hour drive. The private hot tub was the real showstopper though. Sitting in warm water under a sky full of stars with zero bugs and zero noise is peak vacation energy. The shower in the morning was another highlight: sunlight pouring in, everything clean, and the products actually smelled good. I'm usually picky with hotel toiletries, but theirs were legit. My only gripes: the lighting at night in the room is a little too dim, and the shower knobs took a minute to decode. Once I figured out the perfect combo (and wrote it down like a mad scientist), it was fine. Room 7 also comes with its own private parking lot, which made everything even smoother. Beautiful place, super romantic, and a perfect little desert escape in the middle of Mexican wine country. Highly recommend staying here. Mornings turned into a little ritual for us, a quick drive to the bakery for coffees and warm pastries, with sheep, horses, and cows dotting the road like we were in some countryside commercial. The dogs and cats on the property were basically the welcoming committee. Finding them all became a game, and every single one got spoiled with pets. A couple tips if you stay here: - Don't walk to the Wine Garden or the bakery. Just drive. - From rooms 6 and 7, you can walk straight down through the vineyard to Fauna or the winery. It's an easy 5 minute walk, but know that coming back at night is pitch black. If that sounds annoying, drive- even though it's super close. - Try to have brunch at the Michelin rated Bruma Wine Garden (breakfast ends at 11am), fantastic menu and fresh juices
Excellent ambiance, very good country food and good service. Great food options from the grill
Nothing short from amazing! The food and atmosphere is always so welcoming and their fried chicken and waffles are also a must!
THE BIG: Picturesque winery in the Valle de Guadalupe. There are three complexes: wine garden, winery, and the hotel. Plenty of parking in the lots on site. THE BLACK AND WHITE: We definitely got lost trying to find the vinicola (winery). After figuring out that we had to get through the security gate, we finally made it up the hill and into the winery. The tasting room was beautiful and overlooked the valley along with a shallow wading pool with a 300 year old oak tree that is dead but so majestic. For wines, they were a medley of grapes in the tasting but all from the Valle De Guadalupe wine region. We had a chenin blanc, cabernet sauvignon and merlot. My favorite was their cabernet sauvignon. Pretty light-bodied for a cab but still packed a nice body. THE FINAL BAMBOO: A wine tasting was 550 MXN and it was a great first stop in our wine tour to try Valle De Guadalupe wines.
Went down to Valle (again) and had to make another stop at Bruma. Met the owner Lulu at a wine festival and she was amazing. Her wine is even better. Everyone at the winery from the guard that meets you at the entrance, to the rep checking you in and out tour guide... first class! The wine tour was great, the vibe was even better.
Beautiful garden with an elegant interior design. They agreed to do a customized tasting for us. It consisted of 8 courses. The ceviche was a refreshing starter. The Broccoli hummus was smooth and well prepared. I liked the Croquettes and the crispness and smoothness inside. The famous chicken and waffle were good but overhyped due to the current trend. The Cesar Kale Salad was a needed vitamin load before the meat heavy dishes. The Noodle beef combo was rich in taste but very heavy. The pizza was delicious, but after the meat dish, the fatty bacon on it was overwhelming. The desserts were honestly just ok. Very standard American desserts. However, the beautiful and tranquil ambiance in the garden is very much worth it.
We have been dying to try this restaurant whenever we've cruised down to Ensenada, but it's very far up the wine trail and a longer ride then the other wineries for us. I had heard great things about it, and made reservations and we got there. All four of us, were very impressed, the property was well kept with so many different events going on from a marketplace of stores, a gelato shop, another high end restaurant Fauna for dinner and probably a hotel on their property. A good friend of mine had a daughter that got married there and went back and stayed over for their anniversary. I would definitely plan on going back, it was great!

Probably the worst vineyard that I've ever been to. The service was absolute garbage. This isn't the first time I've been to this place and every time I've gone. We always have the same experience. The service is terrible. Other than that location is actually pretty nice but it's not wheelchair accessible. The food is possibly the best thing about this Vineyard. I'd give it a seven or an eight tops. If you've never been, it's worth going for five minutes, taking a look at it and having a look around, however, when we're talking about the wine, it's as bad as they get. read more

Beautiful location deep in the Valle. Lots of cars with USA license plates Part of a larger complex with restaurant, vineyard etc There is a hotel so the guests come and eat many of the offerings Pastries were probably the best we have had. Super buttery read more

Before entering the winery you are greeted by security asking if you have a reservation. We were allowed inside as they have a wine garden. The back up location was right to the left. it was a very confusing winery as the fauna location is on the other side of the winery. With the rain the roads were rough and bumpy. We ended up with muddy shoes. Now as i've been here i know my bearings and would return to try other menu offerings. Their house chardonnay that's made at their winery was refreshing. read more

**This review is specifically for Bruma Wine Garden and not the winery** Food: This has to be my favorite place to eat in Valle. All their dishes has such unique and strong flavors. I love their seafood pizza and their grilled veggies. The dough on the pizza is so soft and chewy, which makes me think of my favorite pizza place in Italy. The grilled veggies come with a creamy sauce and handmade flour-like tortillas which are so delicious! Their ceviche is also very tasty and it bursts with flavor. Another must-get item is their oysters, which are the freshest and most flavorful oysters I've had. This place is a must if you're in Valle. Service: Staff is friendly but sometimes slow. Ambiance: They only have outdoor seating so come with a jacket if you're there at night. However, the rustic and farm-to-table theme makes it a unique experience. read more
Such a cute spot for brunch! Outdoor seating under a beautiful tree. I love the concept of sitting on one long table, I've never seen that before. The Wagyu appetizer was really good but had a bit too much sesame seeds. The guava French toast was the best French toast I've honestly ever had-fresh pieces of guava!! Service was just not as efficient for which I am removing one star. I had asked them to replace the roti with the omelet with sourdough fresh bread. They brought my omelette and then forgot to bring the sourdough which took forever to come so I had to wait for my omelette to get cold by the time the bread came. Also, omelette was a bit too oily for my liking. read more

I came to Valle de Guadalupe for my birthday and found this jem. This is the best place where they have the best Conchitas bread I've ever had. Drinks are also delicious. Prices are super affordable for being a high end location spot.. I am definitely returning here, I highly recommend you come and check out read more
This was my favorite winery vibes wise that I visited in the valle. Our tasting server was incredible and funny when he showed us around. He made us feel very comfortable and we had a great experience. The wines were also solid as well. I think this place is so unique and that's why it really stands out. I will defiantly be including a tasting at Bruma for all my future trips to the valle. read more

Great ambiance and variety of drinks, bakery, and restaurant. The service was very attentive and bilingual. Make sure to be clear between going to the vineyards versus the restaurant/resort. read more

Really liked this restaurant/winery! It's located off the highway, on an off beaten dirt path, but the drive is so worth it! They have plenty of parking on the location. I would say though, the food and bev prices are what you would see at a nice restaurant in LA. We ordered a spinach and bruschetta pizza was was gooey and delicious, we also got their house wines, both red and white. They have a communal type of seating available, so everyone's sitting on a long table essentially, under an olive tree. It's absolutely stunning! They also have a mirror wall behind the bar where you can take selfies with the backdrop of an expansive winery. It was absolutely beautiful. The service was great, the servers all spoke English and Spanish. Lovely and helpful folks. Would definitely recommend adding this to your valle de Guadalupe itinerary! read more

BEWARE OF THIEVES! BRUMA STOLE $1,126.11 - the deposit for a reservation they could not meet. Apparently the glass door to one of the rooms we reserved at Casa 8 chattered. I get it. Stuff happens. They emailed us and suggested the villa versus Casa 8. We decided to cancel since we wanted to stay at Casa 8; for what the rate is, we want what we want. Since April 2023 I have made every effort to get a refund. I have email after email that they will refund the deposit. It is September 2023, and NOTHING. I am working with my credit card dispute department. I have all the documentation to support my claims. THIEVES! THIEVES! THIEVES! LADRONES! LADRONES! LADRONES!. read more

Visited Bruma Wine Garden. Bruma is definitely one of those places you want to see/experience when visiting the Valle and I'm glad we did. The ambience and rustic feel of the place is great. I love the outdoor Look and feel & the overall vibe of the place. We ordered drinks as we soaked the last rays of sunshine. The light lowering slowy through the rugged outdoors. We started off with the ceviche: a mixed of greens, parsley, citrus and perfect fish We felt adventurous and tried their menudo Mac and cheese. The menudo is fried in panko. I didn't find the need for this dish as the menudo taste, texture gets lots in the panko. Why bother? The Mac and cheese itself was just ok. The Bruma "pizza" which is not a pizza, but dough with toppings, was also a disappointment. The bread delicious in itself. We ordered the spinach and burrata, and the spinach simply dominated the dish... Sad. Next, was the short rib and shitake pasta. The presentation was bad. It didn't uplift the dish in any way. The short rib what's good but nothing out of the ordinary the shiitake pasta was an odd edition to the short rib and we ended up not eating it. What saved the day here was definitely the dessert !! we ordered their strawberry tart which was something similar to a cheesecake and also the donut w maple syrup & mascarpone on top it was delicious. All in all there are so many good restaurants in Valle that Bruma wine and garden is towards the bottom of my list. read more
Gorgeous, gorgeous winery inside and out. My glass of Nebbiolo was delicious. My friends enjoyed their glasses of the experimental house wines as well. The underground cellar was exquisite in terms of ambiance. Be sure to check out the tasting area behind the curtain. The tree definitely takes center show - figuratively and literally - in terms of the design. Would be keen on returning to try more of their wines and learn more about the history. read more

Horrible experience. México clearly uses the phrase Michelin Star loosely and doesn't really understand what that means. We traveled all the way from Napa CA just to be treated like vermin. From the moment we arrived everything was unorganized, caution tape everywhere and construction work happening. The staff was exceptionally disrespectful and unwelcoming, zero eye contact, zero customer service. My partner and I are both in the wine industry and had high hopes for a Mexican winery and wanted to show our support. We both frequent French Laundry, Single Thread, Meadowood and travel all around France, Spain, Italy, etc and expected Bruma to deliver a wonderful experience, instead we were barely greeted, poured a splash of Rose, and charged immediately upon entrance which should have been a red flag... they secure their money and rush you out. Our "guide" made sure to mention that they have a hard time keeping employees, which comes as no surprise. The wine maker and head Chef were giving someone else a tour and didn't even have the courtesy to wave at us... mind you we've met chefs like Charlie Palmer, Thomas Keller, Michael Chiarelo, yet the chef and wine maker at Bruma couldn't humble themselves enough to smile at us or wave after crossing paths multiple times... We have connections and ties with wineries worldwide.... and have never encountered such horrible hospitality or lack there of. We asked to speak with the manager on site Barbara and she was kind enough to pour us a few more wines and give us a complimentary bottle of wine after the traumatic experience, but given the fact that we traveled such a long distance, spent money on flights, hotels, it just didn't make up for the underwhelming experience. I had planned on buying cases of wines and referring our Napa Clientele as well as our friends and family to visit Bruma, we will no longer be doing that. I cannot express how offended and disrespected we all still feel. I would like to propose that Bruma create a proper training program and possibly fly in real professionals from other wine regions to teach them how to operate a winery in order to secure future business, otherwise I see this property failing in less than a decade. We left feeling like Bruma is a parody of what a winery should be. Best of luck. Do not come to this winery, restaurant or resort. read more
Before heading out to Valle, I was recommended to visit Bruma/Fauna. Needless to say it did not disappoint. I did make a reservation via email about three-four days prior. I just had to confirm my name and number. Upon arriving you are greeted by security, and asked if you have a reservation. Before heading to the winery itself, you see their preserved tree branches artwork. As soon as you head inside, you confirm your reservation and are asked for your choice of wine flights. They do vary in prices anywhere from $400-$600 pesos. Our tour guide was amazing. She is also a local language teacher on the side, and gave our tour in English. Everything in the winery itself has meaning, and the wine was 10/10. We unfortunately didn't stay to eat at Fauna, but next trip I'll make sure to come to Bruma again and try their restaurant. read more
