Started with a somewhat interesting 25-30 minute tour of winery...just long enough, our lovely, energetic, and English fluent speaking tour guide Anatella was a delight. The facilities are modern and the landscapes are lovely. The bread, cheese, and olive oil snack was fresh and delicious, but the wines were even better! The two whites were light, crisp, smooth and refreshing...the two reds were bold, robust, rich, and fragrant. Anatella even brought out a bottle of Grappa for me try, loved! We ended up buying two bottles of white, a bottle of red, a bottle of grappa, and bottle of olive oil which totaled to be about $80 American, which is an absolute deal compared to Napa and Sonoma.

I opted to get a glass of wine instead and that cost $9. A bit pricey for Mexico! They sold soft tacos. What happened to Mexico being cheaper, they cost $35 for 8 tacos. I felt like I was back home.

There is plenty of food here although I thought the value was not quite up to par: both with the wines and the food. This place is a better experience as somewhere to visit. It was a beautiful day and great atmosphere to be around. As for the quality of the wines, well it was OK. The people were very polite and friendly and this would be a nice day trip.

It was the day after Christmas and there was basically no one else there while we wine tasted their white wine tasting selection. There were a few wines that we actually really enjoyed and ended up buying at the end so that was great. The views are beautiful from their outside covered deck, and they add a plentiful amount of various seating with a good amount of separation. Obviously it was winter, so the vineyards and valley were not green like some of the other photos I've seen, but we still enjoyed our views! Overall, a decent wine tasting experience with friendly service.

I did not. The grounds are stunning. You're on an active working orchard with views in every direction, and dropped right in the middle of it is the most enormous oak tree I have ever seen. That tree, you guys. It's MASSIVE. Ancient. The whole property is built around it, and drinking wine in its shade was straight up surreal. There were dogs wandering around. Families on picnic blankets. A live band playing under the tree. People dancing on their own. It's magical. The wine was freaking delicious. The charcuterie was good. The service was good. Nothing stood out either way on the service, but with everything else going on, I genuinely didn't pay attention. This isn't a quiet, learn-about-your-tannins kind of tasting. It's a hangout, and it's the kind of afternoon you'll be talking about long after you go home. A must on any Valle trip. Pro tip: come hungry, come ready to hang out, and come ready to feel like you're in a fairy tale, because that tree. Just sayin'!

My friends and I weren't too sure of how the process would be since they picked us up after we walked across the border. We booked our rides through WhatsApp and the communication was super easy. They were super responsive, and the day before our designated rides, they shared the driver's number for us to connect directly. Our driver down to Valle was named Elias and made the whole process so simple! He picked us right outside of where we came out after crossing the border. He was super friendly and wanted to make sure we were comfortable for the drive. He told us a little bit about Valle and how he's lived there for 25 years. On my way back, I had a different driver, who was Natalie. She was super nice and the ride back was so quick, probably because it was the morning and traffic wasn't too bad in Tijuana yet. She was helpful in directing me to find the line to cross the border. Without the direction from her, I would have definitely been confused. They made this whole process so seamless! They were on time and available for all the questions I had leading up to the rides as well. I will for sure use them in the future any time I'm traveling somewhere driving distance in Mexico!
