Deemed as ‘the next Napa’, Valle de Guadalupe does not disappoint. With acres of healthy vineyards, thanks to the region’s breezy microclimate, Valle is home to some of the best luxury digs and fine dining fusion cuisines in all of Baja California.

Driving to Valle de Guadalupe is uncomplicated. It’s straightforward, safe, and all done within two and a half hours from San Diego, California. The wine trail in Valle de Guadalupe is mostly made up of two roads that run parallel to one another, making it easy to navigate the area. As soon as you enter Valle, you’re immediately stunned by its impressive mountain views, natural beauty, and of course, its amazing vino and food scene, all nuzzled up in a super relaxed environment.

Although it’s one of the oldest wine-producing regions in the Americas, Valle de Guadalupe has somehow remained quiet on the international traveler’s radar–that is, until now.

Inside the spa area, you’ll find a variety of different holistic rituals and massages as well as on-site yoga in the hotel’s private studio. In the facilities, you’ll find their well renowned Equitarius Equestrian Club where you can take professional lessons and enjoy horse-back trips around the valley.

At Hotel Boutique Valle de Guadalupe you will also find their on-site restaurant, Fuego Cocina del Valle, which boasts panoramic views overlooking Baja’s epic scenery and a bar where you can taste wines from all the winemakers of this region.
