I believe he was the owner; but he was very hospitable. They have unique wines infused in whiskey barrels. I had their Chardonnay which had a slight taste of whiskey in it but I thought it was pretty good. I also tried their pepperoni and sausage flat bread which also was pretty tasty. We were greeted by "Whiskey" the cat and as we were told apparently he was a stray and greets everyone as they arrive which was cute. They have misters which helped a lot with the heat.

Called 20+ Vineyard and put my requirements and was chose Crystal hill as my choice, I am so glad I made that decision. Best wine, amazing scenery, very private, kid friendly, pet friendly most of all sweetest Staff you will ever find. This is the best winery of Ramona by far and exactly what we were looking for. The view is stunning and beautiful view, atmosphere is very relaxing. Wine choices we were excellent, Excellent wine, especially the whiskey barrel wines!

The Staff and owners were very nice, as we were having good time Scott the owner took the kids, around 10 of them to a short hike and showed them around the property and vineyard, kids had good time while adults were drinking up. Meanwhile Kristy engaged the smaller kids. It was all fun and everyone had fun. Special kudos to the lovely bartenders.

Ray knows the Valle region very well and can provide recommendations that match exactly what you are looking for. The all inclusive wine tasting options are the best, and I wouldn't do it any other way! There is no better way to travel from the border down to wine country than with this company and we can't wait to experience the magic Valle offers over and over again with Ray and his team!

My fiance and I decided to plan a trip to the Valle to celebrate both of our birthdays as well as…read moreour 5 year anniversary. We were reading online that rideshares aren't really accessible there and that hiring a private driver is more the norm so we opted to go that route. We were considering several different options but since we were bringing our 93 pound fur baby with us, we needed to make sure we found a company that was dog friendly. Initially, this is what separated Ansell from the rest but the level of service and communication they showed us really left us feeling that we had found the best choice possible. We were coming to the Valle to spend 5 full days and we knew that we wanted to mostly spend that time wine tasting but also were hoping to get recommendations on other things we could do in the region. I had a handful of wineries that I knew I wanted to check out, but apart from that Ansell basically planned out our itineraries for us. In the weeks leading up to our trip Ansell presented several different itinerary options, fine tuning them with our input as the date got closer. The end result was 3 days of wine tasting in the Valle with a lunch stop in between, and 2 days exploring downtown Ensenada as well as making a trip out to Puerto Nuevo, a nearby fishing village noted for its lobster. I also told them that I was planning to propose to my now-fiance and they went above and beyond in helping me select a great venue! Upon meeting our driver, Victor, we felt completely vindicated in our decision. Victor demonstrated a great deal of hospitality as well as knowledge of the region. His recommandations were always spot on and we are so glad we had the privilege of having him as our guide for the full 5 days. Not only was Victor extremely professional, he also was a great conversationalist. My fiance doesn't speak any Spanish (although she definitely learned how to say "no muerde" and "es un perro fresa" during our stay), so it was very helpful that Victor is bilingual. We had many cultural exchanges. My fiance's native language is Russian so we got to teach him some Russian phrases and he taught us about Mexican and Ensenada history. By the time the sun was setting on our last day with Victor, the mood was bittersweet. We felt as though we were saying goodbye to a friend. We know we will be back to the Valle and when we do, we will definitely be asking for Victor and I definitely recommend that anyone reading this to do the same

We booked a WINE TOUR OF THE GUADALUPE VALLEY in a Suburban, to be picked up and dropped off at our…read morehotel. We initially contacted them because of their ONLINE FLYER, and specifically reached out to ANA. We got an EMAIL RESPONSE, from her: Hello Clarence, My name is Ana, and I'm in the reservations department at Ansell Tours. Thank you for getting in touch; we are delighted to have you on board and excited to take you on a journey through the beautiful Valle de Guadalupe. lhave attached a PDF file where you will find general information about the services we offer. We would be happy to prepare a personalized quote for a private tour for two guests, with pickup from Estero Beach Resort. We can organize an itinerary that includes at least three wineries and a meal, and we can also consider adding La Bufadora depending on the schedule for the day. To confirm our availability, including the availability of a Chevrolet Suburban, and prepare an accurate quote, could you please let me know the date you are planning to visit? Once I have the date, I'll be happy to review the options and send you a customized proposal. Best regards, Ana Ansell Tours COST, eventually: $585.00. On the 20th, we got an EMAIL with highlights of prices of VEHICLES, including the SUBURBAN. We picked the SUBURBAN. As you'll notice, the Wine and Food was NOT HIGHLIGHTED!!! I got this offer, and read it at FACE VALUE. I read it, though, as a 62 YEAR OLD w/ Memory Issues, ENOUGH SAID. I am trying one more time to be as clear as possible. OR, maybe just won't review Ansell Tours!!! Although we were under the impression it was to be an ALL INCLUSIVE TOUR because all of this conversation was in reference to the ONLINE FLYER, it didn't turn out that way. NOTE: We saw the same basic NON-INCLUSIVE tour on Trip Advisor for $265.00. Due to the $300.00 DIFFERENCE, we were pretty CERTAIN that our tour was in fact the ALL INCLUSIVE TOUR, as we initially discussed W/ Ana!!! NOW, for the tour itself: WE ADMIT TO DELETING A WINERY: We did so because of the 1) UNEXPECTED EXPENSE, and because of the 2) large amount of wine for me. As for the restaurant, that was due to a suggestion from the DRIVER!!! I had wanted to go LATITUDE 32, but when my partner learned it wasn't included, he was upset. DRIVER CLEMENTE suggested the change to my partner, in SPANISH. We had EARLIER communicated with ANA, about what was included at lunch, and she assured us we could order anything off the menu. APPARENTLY, not so!!! I should also point the reservation team is not always available, CONTRARY TO WHAT THEY SAY!!! I would sometimes write with questions, and they would go UNANSWERED. I asked 5 times about getting La Bufadora to be included, instead of a winery, AND NEVER GOT A RESPONSE. In addition, I asked why private tours were half as expensive on Trip Advisor, compared to our tour. NO RESPONSE. HOWEVER, we did get a big, beautiful black SUBURBAN, as promised!!! Although it arrived an hour early, we were forewarned. CLEMENTE, was our driver, DAPPER, ON TIME, and EXTREMELY KNOWLEDGEABLE AND FRIENDLY!!! First WINERY: Adobe Guadalupe Vineyards. It consisted of several small Spanish-like buildings. We each had a wine tasting. Approximately, $65.00, UNEXPECTED EXPENSE!!! Second WINERY: Finca LA CARRODILLA. It was nice, but it was raised up very high WITHOUT AN ELEVATOR. I was able to walk up the s equivalent of two floors. AT THIS WINERY, we decided to have 1 tasting and 1 bottle (TAKE HOME). We chose to take it home in a very nice wooden box. Approximately, $65.00, UNEXPECTED!!! LUNCH: La Cocina de Doña Esthela. It came with a Michelin Star, but that seemed questionable. We went there on the advice of the driver, CLEMENTE. It was decent food and fairly well priced. COST FOR 3, including driver initially $75.00. (As we waited for the car, the waiter came running out looking for us, mumbling something in Spanish. When my partner returned minutes later, he had about $25 in hand in PESOS!!!) He said, after that whole thing, they said that they had admitted to OVERCHARGING US!!! So: $50.00. Final WINERY: Rondo del Valle Winery. It was my favorite due to its SIZE, STYLE AND ARCHITECTURE. Solid CEMENTE. It was a hot day, but on the inside it had big, beautiful overstuffed and colorful couches. In addition, there were was a HUGE CIRCULAR FAN!!! We had wine tastings, and we got a bottle of a blush wine in a box, bubble wrapped!!! I almost got an ICE CREAM, they were DELICIOUSLY TEMPTING!!! Approximately, $75.00, UNEXPECTED EXPENSE!!! We were then taken back to the hotel. We arrived at 4:00 PM. Initially, we were given a return time of 6:45 PM. If I'm not mistaken, that would have been enough time to drive to La Bufadora, AND BACK!!! Enough with the nonsense, PATRICK!!! I was told by our DRIVER, this had happened to others before. Was I out of place to think that we could get LA BUFADORA, as a Last Stop???

I recently reached out to Top Dog Limo for a prom quote for my daughter, initially believing they…read morewere a legitimate and reputable company. However, something felt off during the interaction, which led me to do some research. I discovered that the company reportedly went out of business in 2021 following a tragic incident where a passenger fell from one of their buses on the freeway due to an unsafe vehicle causing a tragic death. Today, I spoke with someone named Ana, who then referred me to a man named Justin. He came across as very unprofessional and gave off a sketchy vibe. The quote I received was significantly lower than any other company, which now makes sense given what I've learned. This is not a company I would trust with my child's safety--or anyone else's. Be careful and look elsewhere.

They were warm and smart and great conversationalists, which helps me immensely while stuck in the car. They took us thru Valle de Guadalupe and we got to see much of the coast on the way to our lunch taco stop. Vegan options were included so I was thrilled. We ate to our heart's content and then we made way to our first winery. It was spacious, peaceful, and extremely clean. Next we went to the second winery, our favorite of the trip and we were able to try not just the wine but some snacks made from the food grown on the property. And lastly we stopped at a small cute winery for more food to soak up the booze a bit. They fed us SO much, and then had wine and agua frescos for us to enjoy as well. Each place was slightly different and so for that I'm super grateful. They are truly some of the most genuine people you will meet. We are already planning a trip to go back with hem again. Thanks so much!

This one is for Cameron!…read more On Friday September 30, my friends and I took this tour to celebrate my bachelorette. We have never been to the Valle before, and after hearing all the violence that occurred during the weekend of Baja Beach, we were a little nervous to cross, but it was amazing! Cameron was great, he kept our group engaged and made us all feel safe! We were a private tour and he picked us up from our Air b&b, we headed straight across the border and drove ocean side to our first stop... tacos! Cant go to mexico without stopping to enjoy some street tacos. Next stop, Finca La Carodilla. The winery was beautiful, however, we did not love the wine... we still had a great time enjoying the scenery. Next stop, Xalos. While this wasn't on the agenda, Cameron and Ryan created this detour option for us after Adobe winery was unable to host us. Here we enjoyed a fancy cocktail and some delicious churros. Again, beautiful scenery! Third stop, Monte Xanic. This was by far our favorite winery for the day. There are beautiful hills, and a small (possibly man made) lake on site... the wine was excellent, we bought four wine bottles. Lastly dinner, wow... The scenery, yet again! The tables were set up with a picnic cloth under string lights. We arrived for dinner around sunset, and we watched the beautiful sunset colors painted in the sky between the hills. Our food was delicious, and they did offer drinks at this final stop, which we did pay for separately. Lastly, our trip was over and we were headed home. Half our group had global entry, which was nice since they did not have to step out on the drive back from the border. My friends and I are all from Mexico, however, none of us had visited this region before. Its so nice to see how Mexico is becoming more known for their wine and aesthetics... Definitely bring cash, comfortable shoes and an empty stomach as there is plenty of food throughout this experience. Everything was great, and our group enjoyed Camerons company and the knowledge he shared with us on baja california and the up and coming Ruadeseo company.

He picked us up right from our Airbnb and dropped us off at the end of the day, so we didn't have to worry about a thing. Dan's love and knowledge of the region really showed in the wineries he chose--hidden gems we never would have discovered on our own. Our first stop was so beautiful we could have spent the whole day there! Lunch was delicious, and every winery we visited had its own charm and character.

My friend and I appreciated being given a choice as to which to focus on - wine or wine country.

Found this place while searching for spots to visit with animals, and I'm so glad it popped up!…read moreSuch a fun sanctuary farm. The woman at check‑in was very nice and gave us a map plus a quick rundown of the layout so we knew exactly where to go. I'm obsessed with pigs, so I was very excited to meet their adorable pot‑belly pig at the front named Toffee. Tickets were on the pricier side, but honestly worth it -- the money supports an organization that gives animals of all kinds a safe, loving place to live. They also sell produce grown on the farm, along with drinks and snacks you can enjoy while walking around the grounds. They offer upgraded experiences for an additional cost if you want something more hands‑on. We went on a bright, sunny day, and it was HOT -- definitely recommend sunglasses, a hat, sunscreen, and comfy walking shoes. I was in heaven here. They have goats, camels, pigs, horses, a zebra, and more. You can easily spend the whole day here -- come early to beat the heat and the crowds. It's truly an animal lovers' paradise and a great place to learn about animals, be outside, and have some fun, all while supporting an amazing nonprofit doing meaningful work. A wholesome, memorable outing and a great day trip for families, friends, or anyone wanting to try something new.

All of the animals were super friendly and adorable. We even saw the smallest mini horse ever that was so cute. There are also cats that roam the property and one of them followed us throughout the whole place. Can you ask for a cuter tour guide?! They also grow their own produce and sell eggs. We picked and cut our own pumpkins and left with some duck eggs as well! Overall this was just the most fun experience I've ever had. I regret not purchasing the membership because ever since I left I keep thinking about how bad I want to come back! This is definitely a hidden gem and a fantastic experience.
