    The road coming
    Anthony P.

    Located about 1km off of highway 3 on the way to Tecate from Ensenada, lies this quaint winery that features 4 varietals of locally grown grapes. Surprisingly, all four bottles I sampled were vintage, which I found remarkable for these wines. All were drinkable now, but are modest table wines rather than collectibles. Don't expect to find Wine Spectator quality or even California Napa Valley maturity. While it was a "fun" experience, it was far from proper wine tasting. First off, they use the same glass for each pouring, not even rinsing in between. Secondly, there is nothing to cleanse the palate between tastings. And lastly, there was no tour. However, I later found out that the time we were there, 01/02/17, was still part of the holiday celebration and that tours were given on the weekends. The host was very knowledgeable about his wines and also the other local wineries as my wife wanted a sweet white wine rather than a Syrah. He directed us to Santo Thomas approximately 400 meters away south on Highway 3, but it was closed. The road to the winery, and most others we visited, was a combination of mud bogs and road ruts and undulating moguls which made our experience, especially in our Jeep, that much more exciting. I expect that during the warmer months, the roads wouldn't be as rain worn but also not as much fun... As my wife is not a red wine fan, I was surprised that she agreed to a bottle. A mild red, to be sure, but the start of many more memorable wine tastings to come.

    Vinisterra was the first vineyard we stopped at because their signs were very clear to follow. It was the a small vineyard and we tasted 2 different types of wine which were pretty tasteful.

    This is where they make the wine

    *ENGLISH REVIEW: This was our last stop while in Valle, and…read moreoverall it was a great choice. We got a wine tasting of 3 wines, and all were delicious. My favorite was the Vino Rosado, which is a blend of Grenache, merlot, and Syrah. The scenery is fabulous, with everything being outside. They have a little store front as well, that has lots of cute hats and accessories. The grounds are pretty big, with multiple restrooms and spots to take some great pictures. They also host weddings and festivities , so you might want to check it out if you're in the market for that. Everything here was great, and I will definitely return in the future. *EN ESPAÑOL: Esta fue nuestra última parada en Valle y, en general, fue una gran elección. Compramos una degustación de 3 vinos, y todos estaban deliciosos. Mi favorito fue el Vino Rosado, que es una mezcla de Garnacha, Merlot y Syrah. El paisaje es fabuloso, con todo afuera. También tienen un pequeño frente de tienda, que tiene muchos sombreros y accesorios lindos. Los jardines son bastante grandes, con varios baños y lugares para tomar excelentes fotografías. También organizan bodas y festividades, por si estás buscando eso. Todo aquí fue genial, y definitivamente regresaré en el futuro.

    I really want to keep this winery a secret, but it wouldn't be fair to them not to share how…read morewonderful our experience was. We visited for a girls' weekend and truly enjoyed all the wine served at this location. Several of the girls bought multiple bottles to take home and are still raving about them. It's a quaint, small winery that hasn't been affected by a social media frenzy, likely because there aren't many "Instagram-worthy" spots. However, the friendly service and outstanding wine will definitely keep you coming back.

    I had such high expectations for this little winery from all the stellar reviews. I have been to…read moreValle de Guadalupe a handful of times on winery tours through the years and expected another warm winery visit. Not what we got that day. Our group of 12 arrived and we waited a bit to be seated, which is fine. It is a small winery and they only have one large table. Gerardo was working that day. He seems nice but he didn't tell us much about the winery or the wines he was pouring. We had to ask him questions about their grapes and wine making process. The tasting room was very cute and comfortable. Their wines were ok. None of them really jumped out at me so I ended up not buying anything. Nobody else liked their wines and we were a bit disappointed with the impersonal service. We all were looking forward to the visit because of the good reviews but it just wasn't a good experience.
