Guadalupe Valley Wine Route Tour in Baja California

Let’s start with our driver, Jorge. He arrived on time, bilingual and well versed on the area, history and had personal experience with several wineries. He gave us all the time we needed to really enjoy our day! He picked us up in a newer, very clean minivan, stocked with bottled water, snacks and a goodie bag which included a nice VdG face mask and great map of the wine region. 1st Stop: Santo Tomas Winery. Oldest winery in Baja. Large, beautiful, expansive wine tasting room as well as spacious outdoor seating overlooking the vineyard. We opted for the Premium tasting: $420 MEX. Diego was our host and gave us a good summary of each wine. We were given enough time to take in the wines and walk around the grounds a bit. Jorge was kind enough to take pictures of us toasting and posing at various photo op areas. 2nd Stop: ATP y Familia. What a hidden gem! It was Jorge’s suggestion we visit this winery. Such a wonderful time meeting Alex and his champion chess-playing father. Alex made us truly feel like family! The highlight was clippling a cluster of Nebbiolo grapes right off the vine! We had the Premium wine tasting, $320 MEX which included a generous chartucherie platter. My favorite wine was the 2014 Cabneret Sauvignon Gran Reserva. It recently won Gold at the 2021 Mexico Int’l Wine Competition. This winery is a must-go-to place! 3rd Stop: Concierto Enologico. This winery matches wine with music. We were lead down a spiral staircase to the wine tasting room, where you could feel the dampness and smell the earth’s rich scent. Interesting concept. We had the simple tasting, $240 MEX. Not sure I buy into the concept, but enjoyed the experience. 4th Stop: Sol y Barra. Small structures built out of earth (adobe style construction). Kind of a whimsical/bohemian vibe. Small wine tasting room as well as several outdoor seating areas. I only had a glass of their Premium wine, “Reserva”, $100 MEX. 5th Stop: Dinner at Don Tomas Winery restaurant. The restaurant is set within the winery. They’ve built decks above the vineyards. Such beautiful scenery, great live music and excellent quality food offerings. I had oysters with carne, grilled octopus and 2 delicious margaritas, $725 MEX. Jorge, thank you so much for such a great day!

This was an absolutely amazing tour, probably the best wine tour for your time and money. We went to 4 wineries transportation was provided with convenient pick up from the hotel. Safety measures were up to date during COVID. Eugenia was our guide and she was absolutely terrific, friendly and very well versed about the wines and culture in Valle de la Guadalupe. We would not have had the gray time we did without her or if we did this on our own as a tour. We didn’t need to worry about entrance, location parking driving it was all hassle free and relaxing! Thanks Eugenia and to all the wineries!

Had a great time at Valle de Guadalupe. Our guide Jorge was punctual, knowledgeable, fun, and very helpful. It was our first time visiting the area and had a good time. Jorge picked us up at our hotel in a clean vehicle with a map of the area, snacks, and water. He chose a few wineries for us to visit, which were great choices. We had lunch at one of the wineries with a great view. Thank you Jorge for making our experience a great one. We plan on going back soon!

Luigi was very knowledgeable. We had a great experience. Favorite part of the whole experience was spending time with the wine maker.

We took a wine tour with Viator. Jorge was our guide and he did a great job of choosing 4 wineries for us . We loved the mission winary. A family run vineyard. We had great stop at a cheese shop too. Thank you for a great experience in the Valle.

My husband and I had a great experience of Valle de Guadalupe on this tour. Luigi was very knowledgeable and friendly guide, he took us to the awesome places, including at the end of the tour to a beautiful and great restaurant! 👍👍👍👍

Victor and Luigi provided myself, my husband and a friend a very excellent tour of the Valley. They suggested going to 2 big wineries and 2 small wineries which was an exceptional way to understand wine producing in the Valley. We were not rushed during our wine tastings and they made a reservation at a restaurant we wanted to go to. They were very flexible and accommodating. 10 overall rating.

Our guide Jorge was very puntual, courteous, professional, pleasant and well prepared. The itinerary was previously prepared and we had no input into the wineries we wanted to visit. We had already visited the first winery and the last two wineries were not up to par and we felt they were not worth the visit. In addition the tour was advertised with time for lunch but we were not able to eat until we had visited all the wineries which was 5:00, more like dinner time. We wanted a nice lunch between wineries which was not an option.

Tour was amazing, customized by the guides whom very friendly, highly recommend!

Euginia and Luigi are definitely great tour guides! Recommended for everyone who wants to visit Tijuana/Baja California!
