This place is located in the Valle de Guadalupe, Baja Mexico. I wasn't always a fan of the wine…read morefrom this area. But over the last two decades they have made large strides in quality with new modernization techniques. Besides all of the wine makers that have been here for generations, others (Spain, France, and Italy) from around the world have joined in wine making in the area. The area has all of the basic ingredients (proper climate and soil) needed to make great wine. The area sits in the same latitude as the great wine making areas of the Mediterranean. As a result, now I am a big fan of the area's wine. Now many compare the area to Tuscany Italia before the big tourist rush occurred. The greater area is also home to many Michelin rated restaurants with a great ocean/farm to table menu (carta). Organic and sustainability are fully represented in restaurants as well. If you love seafood, then this place is heaven because of the abundance of fresh seafood from both the Sea of Cortez and the Pacific. I predict that once the new airport in Ensenada is built then this place is going to explode with tourism. Currently, having to fly into Tijuana then take a bus or private transport has been the only way to reach this area from most places in the US with the exception of southern California. People in southern California are lucky enough to drive down for a weekend because it's just that close to them. It's the equivalent of people from Chicago spending a weekend in wine country in Michigan, Indiana, or Wisconsin. In all honesty there is no comparison because most wine in the Midwest is mediocre at best. The problem in the Midwest is the climate extremes which are not suitable to most popular wine varietals. Even when I do find wine from the Midwest that I like, it usually has at least $50-$60 price tag. At a typical grocery store in Spain or Portugal very good bottle of wine is sometimes cheaper than a bottle of water! Under $10 a bottle pricing gets you very good wine, above that you can have even better quality. The winery is beautiful even in the winter. I like to visit in the winter because although it's not super warm here, I go from wearing a winter jacket to wearing a light jacket or sweater. The nights can drop into the 40s which is still much better than a winter polar vortex back home. There is a lot less people, therefore, I can also get into the best restaurants in the area. My rental flat had absolutely no neighbors until the last day when it was time to leave. The isolation was very nice because the grounds are beautiful and very full of life. A huge assortment of birds make this their winter getaway from the harsh winters up north. Citrus fruit was in season down here and the neighboring property had an orchard of trees filled with oranges. The property has a few nice pathways to walk after mealtimes. I also enjoyed the outdoor wine tour which explores the different varietals fields with an enthusiastic guide that was quick witted with jokes. The wine pourings that accommodate the tour were delicious and wisely chosen. I also opted to take the wine cave tour right after the outside tour. How was the cave tour? It was disappointing and frustrating. First of all, as I patiently waited to be taken down to the cave from their gift shop area they forgot about me. They have a list of who is supposed to go down and yet they still went down without everyone?!? Finally a cashier notices that I'm just walking around not shopping and asked me if I was waiting for someone. I told him that I was waiting for the cave tour to begin. He got a hold of the tour guide who had already gone down with some of the group and he came up to retrieve us. Those that were already in the cave, already had been served food that was optional to order with the tasting. After several pourings in the previous tour, yes, I was ready to have some food to lessen the impact of more pourings. Also, they had a nice selection of items that would complement the pourings. Somehow, they forgot about me again, and I noticed others were getting a different presentation than I was on the same tour. Okay, now a sense of frustration is overcoming me and I mention the oversights to the guide. He lied to me and told me that the others had a different level of wine tasting. This disorganized tour was also set up backwards because there should have been a walking tour of the fermentation area first then tastings afterwards. Besides the bad cave tour that I definitely don't recommend. Everything else was great with the exception of the cold washroom on cold nights. They have very nice employees, beautiful grounds, very good breakfast, and a great dinner restaurant called Latitude on the property. Would I come back? Yes, because besides a few frustrating moments the rest was great.

Cielo was a big disappointment for me. Especially because I recommended this place to my friends…read morewho were celebrating a birthday. Service here took a long time to just get menus and initial drinks. We also ordered food that was no longer available. When we did order, the food took near an hour to come to our table. The place was severely understaffed and most of our utensils were dirty. Place offers great views of the vineyard. It's just about the only good thing this place has. Sadly. They do have a "Michelin rated" restaurant inside the building, curious to see what the service there is. Overall, i would say there are so many other wineries around Valle de Guadalupe that offer better services/food and drinks.

The sauce paired with it created such a rich and flavorful combination -- definitely one of the highlights of our trip. Everything tasted elevated and beautifully prepared.

I'll definitely be recommending Almatierra to my family and friends. If you're in Ensenada and love flavorful, upscale dining, this place is worth checking out!

Ojo Azul in Valle de Guadalupe is a really lovely spot for a romantic, peaceful getaway…read more The hotel has a unique charm; it includes a small winery, a restaurant, and even a cave cellar you can go wine tastingin, which was honestly one of the coolest parts of the experience. It definitely feels like a special place that's more about relaxing and enjoying the wine country vibes than doing anything busy or fast-paced. The rooms are separate from each other, so it feels very private and quiet.. Perfect if you're looking to disconnect and have a calm weekend away... Our room was clean and had plenty of space... The bed was incredibly comfortable, and the shower was roomy... They also have a refrigerator stocked with Their in house wine bottles you can choose from, which adds a fun touch... The property has a pool and spa area, but just keep in mind it's communal, there aren't private hot tubs or private spa setups in the rooms... Still, everything was well-maintained and relaxing... Pricing felt reasonable compared to other hotels in Valle, especially for how nice and comfortable everything was... One thing to note: Valle de Guadalupe is very spread out. This isn't a place to stay if you want nightlife or to be within walking distance of multiple wineries. You'll definitely need to drive to get around, and some of the roads are unpaved... The host was also extremely welcoming.. We arrived late after hours, and they were still available at the front desk, answered all our questions, and made us feel really comfortable... Overall, Ojo Azul is a beautiful, clean, romantic place to stay if you're looking for a quiet wine country escape. Would definitely recommend for couples looking to unwind..

I was lucky to be referred to this vineyard by a relative who lives half a mile from this location. Not only was the place amazing in scenery and location but the owners and staff were beyond awesome! My wife and I were looking for a location to have our wedding and reception at and Rancho El Parral was hands down the best places to host our amazing event! They included a full breakfast with renting the rooms and even allowed external guests to join us. They also allowed us to have a post wedding small party with no added costs. The owners Albert and Olivia were so great to work with regarding our special day, that they made it a point to make sure we were all well taken care of throughout the whole weekend and even after we left. Their main focus was to make sure that everything was taken care of. They went above and beyond for us given that they had just finished harvesting their grapes and were working on making their line of amazing wine. Working with Olivia was such an easy process and her contract options were so easy to work with and competitive. She was also so helpful in making adjustments to our guest list 4 days before the actual event and discounted the total owed!! As my wife and I were on our honeymoon, we talked about having our birthday party there again because of our experience with the owners, staff and location. We were also approached by quite a bit of our guests to get the contact information of the place so that they can have events there too. There is so much to offer from visiting this location, so much to offer like a lavender field that is the only one in the region and the products of that lavender field. I recommend this location to anyone curious to get an awesome scenery of the valley, for such a comfortable stay in their rooms, and for a great tasting wine that is sure to win awards in the coming years. Their wine, artisan products and amazing scenery are just small details that made our most memorable days even more amazing. We will definitely be returning, often. They also have a restaurant that is in the works and we look forward to seeing it grow. All the guests that were witness to the event said it was by far an amazing place to have any event. Albert and Olivia (the owners) really made us feel like we were their family and although they weren't able to celebrate our reception because they were more concerned about making the event run smooth and were more help for our coordinator but we would have loved for them to be a part of it and I will be sure to have more events with them. They even gave us an amazing coordinator that worked with us and Olivia to make the dream a reality. Thank you so much Albert and Olivia! We will always hold you dear to our marriage!

Centrally located in Valle de Guadalupe, it allowed us to get to so many vinícolas within minutes. The property is quite big and well manicured with water fountains, a pool and jacuzzi in the courtyard. The dining area and front lobby is oddly placed in the corner of the lot with no signs directing you to it, but we just listened to the sounds of silverware clanging to find it. They served red and green chilaquiles, beans, eggs, pancakes, fruit, yogurt and granola, which were ok, but I wanted to find elsewhere to have breakfast the following day. The bed was incredibly comfortable and I absolutely loved the black-out blinds! Areas for improvement would be to heat the jacuzzi a little warmer and insulate the walls a bit more.

Each tasting included four pours, including single varietal whites, reds, and blends. We've been coming to Valle de Guadalupe ("VdG") for about 15 years now, however this was only our second visit to Las Nubes Bodegas y Viñedos. Oscar poured for us this time and we had another wonderful experience. The winery itself sits high up on the hillside on the north side of the valley and affords patrons with amazing views across the vineyards, valley floor, and surrounding mountains. You can sit inside or on their expansive deck with many umbrellas and trellis covered seating areas. Their wines are among our favorites in VdG and the service is excellent. They offer charcuterie boards, sandwiches, oysters, truffled popcorn, cookies, and fruit tarts to pair with your wine selections. Las Nubes is truly a must experience winery when visiting VdG.
