They even suggested and helped us get a fast pass for border crossing that saved us 3 hours in crossing the border. Great team and service.

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!

Sol de Media Noche (Midnight Sun) in the Valle de Guadalupe (Guadalupe Valley) in Enseneda, Mexico,…read moreoffers free wine tastings. The flight includes two whites and two reds. Additionally, they give you free samples of bread, cheese, olives, and veggies. With that, you may try their salad dressings, jams, and oils with spices. My favorites oils were "tomate deshidratado de queso" and "chile morita con chocolate." Definitely make sure to tip your wine server. Also, purchase a thing or two from their shop afterwards. Everything except the restrooms are located in large warehouse. Cash or card is accepted at the shop. They sell bottles of wine, cheese, breads, jams, sauces, oils with spices, candies, pastries, purses, jewelry, lotions, and much more. All prices are in pesos: + vino beso de sol ($200) + mermelada chica ($75) + salsas varias ($75) I preferred the white wine labeled as "Chenin Blaco/Cordial." It was definitely sweet, but not as sweet as the second one we tried. The red wine that I preferred was "70&30" or "Cabernet/Tempranillo." It was actually my favorite of the four. Our wine server was very friendly and helpful. From the main road, this place doesn't look like much - a little rundown in fact. However, they have their own bathrooms, parking lot, and a cute rustic display for photos with their Sol de Media Noche emblem. Bring friends for a fun roadtrip through northern Mexico!

I don't know where to even begin with my review of our experience at Trevista so I will begin with…read more"Hay no coincidencias" I had saved Trevista before our visit and didnt realize the requirement for pre reservations at most places in the Valle rather than just winging it so I emailed on Friday hoping to manage a reservation for the next day. I was thrilled to see an email on Saturday saying we were welcome for the 2nd tasting of the day and then filled with panic as I saw when it was sent, didn't have service and that time was quickly approaching. Thankfully i got wifi, replied that we would love to be there, got a reply saying we were good to go and off we went. I will thank our luck a large amount on the weather as many people cancelled due to pouring rain and flooded roads. The roads are rough, especially in the rain so a larger vehicle or a tour driver would definitely be beneficial but we made it happen. Upon arrival we were greeted with hugs, conversation, drinks and blankets and it honestly felt like we just showed up to the home of a family member. With the weather, it ended up just being the two of us and another couple who drove out for the day and previously was married at the vineyard which made for the most intimate afternoon tasting. My fiancé (oh that's still weird to say haha) is not really a wine drinker and I don't usually drinks reds but we both loved all 3 years of the tasting and the tapas that come with each were so delicious. One of the pairings was a taco with meat that I don't eat so I gave it to him and was more than thankful when Hilda noticed and asked her team to make a potato taco for me to take part. With the impeccable vibes, Carlos decided this was the right time and place and completely unbeknownst to me he had let James and Hilda know about his plan and they assisted in the greatest intimate proposal I could have ever dreamed of, rain and chilly temperatures and all. After our tasting we all spoke around the table like we had known each other for years and it really was the most special day and experience I could have ever asked for. We will definitely be back sooner than later, especially since we both fell in love with not only the humans on site but vineyard good boy Corcho. Thank you both for your hospitality, I honestly can't express it enough.

We asked for a wine tasting, but I am pretty certain they didn't give us the whole tasting - the guy just disappeared after awhile, and that was that. We ordered a few dishes to share for dinner, one was a jalapeno pasta that seemed interesting, but the pasta was completely overcooked to almost mush and the sauce was basically congealing onto that, making it quite unappetizing. We also ordered a hawaiian pizza that sounded nice, but it came with so many raisins and mushrooms, which just made it so confusing, as we expected just ham and pineapple - the combo was not delicious. The cheese plate basically had all the same cheese spread around the plate. The ceviche was actually fine, with tiny bits of ahi tuna. If you had to eat here, get the ceviche, but otherwise, I don't think you'd be missing much not eating anything here. The wines were actually not that great either - too acidic, didn't have much finesse. I don't know. I think the service in addition to the food in addition to the wine were all so lackluster and disappointing. We really wanted to like it here, but couldn't find much to like.

We have been wanting to check out this winery, and finally got the chance. The tasting room was…read morebeautiful and cool, and Oswaldo was very friendly and knowledgeable, even though he has only been there two weeks. The tastings were $400 MX (about $20 US) each. We tried Sauvignon Blanc, Rose, Nativo red blend (cab merlot blend), and our favorite, the Principio (also a cab/merlot blend), but barrel aged longer). The wines were well made, very light-bodied, low alcohol, high acidity, and a higher salinity that you get from some Valle wines. Overall, they weren't to our taste, but we enjoyed our visit. They have a restaurant, too if you want to stop in for lunch or dinner.

THIS REVIEW IS FOR THE HOTEL ONLY…read more 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

The professionalism and charisma of the lady who took care of us was exceptional and we cannot commend how great of an experience it was from the moment we arrived to the moment we departed. Because it was the day after Christmas and off-season, it wasn't busy in general for most of the wineries, so coming here was quite the treat because we nearly had the entire terrace to ourselves for the majority of our time there. The pairings consisted of mostly white ones with one of the white wines tasting like a red wine (close your eyes). She did an amazing job of explaining the stories and context behind each wine and the owner and his impressions of everything. We also got a charcuterie board that had probably some of the most fresh and tastiest cheese I've ever had. The two different breads with the olive oil really hit the spot. I was so amazed from this place giving its more rural location and that it is hidden. Please note that we paid a decent amount here. I think after the wine tastings for the both of us and the charcuterie board plus the purchasing of 3 or 4 bottles, the total was about $150 USD. Worth every penny! I'd definitely recommend this spot to others
