This place was recommended to us by a couple people, and we're still trying to figure out why. The tastings at least get you a lot of alcohol for 60 pesos, never mind that the wines either taste like Lambrusco or Concha y Toro.
In terms of food, we were really looking forward to trying the Barbacoa, but apparently they didn't bother to make any the day we went, even though it was advertised all over. We ended up getting a pizza, that while not terrible, certainly wasn't a memorable gastronomical experience. Good thing it only cost $120 pesos.
There's also a market here selling jams, olive oil, cheeses and the like. We tried some of the jams--nothing incredible, but not terrible either. If you do decide to buy something, you might end up waiting for quite a while. While there is lots of staff wandering around, apparently only a two of them actually talk to clients.
The most irritating thing about this place were the flies. With so many great places to visit in the Guadalupe Valley, don't bother wasting...
Read moreThe best winery you will ever visit hands down. It's an organic, family owned winery in the heart of the Valle de Guadalupe. Stop by and try out their amazingly delicious and sweet Honey wine that can accompany their homemade pizzas and breads, as well as their full bodied Nebbiolo. Stop into the gift shop and buy jams, spices, cheeses and other natural goodies. There's a wonderful area to taste wines, relax, listen to local artists and buy from vendors all while enjoying the shade and scenery. You can feel wonderful about supporting this winery as you can feel the love and knowledge Dona Lupe and her family pour into each and every drop of wine. I've been coming here since she started wine tastings in her living room and it has been so heart warming to see how much it's grown. If you're off the cruise ship and want to do something in Ensenada then you will not regret coming out to...
Read moreMy wife and I visited with a wine tasting group excursion. This winery is not at all prepared for a group (2 busses showed up). There was a big line to a single wine serving "station", served samples in plastic cups(!?), no information at the tasting about the varietals or the winery. All the reds I tasted were very, very young and not ready to drink. I tried a nebbiolo, shiraz, pinot noir, and cabernet sauvignon. None had any nose at all, and only one was remotely drinkable for me. I did not try any sweet wines.
The grounds are pretty, but I can't see any reason to try his winery again even on a solo visit.
Maybe if you like sweet wines or whites they might have something for you. They did have live music which was nice, but other than that and the view there was nothing...
