My friends and I weren't too sure of how the process would be since they picked us up after we walked across the border. We booked our rides through WhatsApp and the communication was super easy. They were super responsive, and the day before our designated rides, they shared the driver's number for us to connect directly. Our driver down to Valle was named Elias and made the whole process so simple! He picked us right outside of where we came out after crossing the border. He was super friendly and wanted to make sure we were comfortable for the drive. He told us a little bit about Valle and how he's lived there for 25 years. On my way back, I had a different driver, who was Natalie. She was super nice and the ride back was so quick, probably because it was the morning and traffic wasn't too bad in Tijuana yet. She was helpful in directing me to find the line to cross the border. Without the direction from her, I would have definitely been confused. They made this whole process so seamless! They were on time and available for all the questions I had leading up to the rides as well. I will for sure use them in the future any time I'm traveling somewhere driving distance in Mexico!

We added on a wine tour in the valley too. Ivan our driver, a native of the valley, was extremely friendly and knowledgeable about the valley, even providing excellent restaurant recommendations. The whole experience made us feel safe and secure, we would gladly travel with them again. They even suggested and helped us get a fast pass for border crossing that saved us 3 hours in crossing the border. Great team and service.

Each tasting included four pours, including single varietal whites, reds, and blends. We've been coming to Valle de Guadalupe ("VdG") for about 15 years now, however this was only our second visit to Las Nubes Bodegas y Viñedos. Oscar poured for us this time and we had another wonderful experience. The winery itself sits high up on the hillside on the north side of the valley and affords patrons with amazing views across the vineyards, valley floor, and surrounding mountains. You can sit inside or on their expansive deck with many umbrellas and trellis covered seating areas. Their wines are among our favorites in VdG and the service is excellent. They offer charcuterie boards, sandwiches, oysters, truffled popcorn, cookies, and fruit tarts to pair with your wine selections. Las Nubes is truly a must experience winery when visiting VdG.

To be honest, there wasn't really a wait to begin with anyway. We did a wine tasting and tour which I believe was $20/pp. The wines are mostly blends, which I like. The tour takes you to their cave where they will show you how their wines are made. The staff was so kind and helped answer any questions we had about the property and the wines! They have light bites like cheese and crackers, but because they're within proximity to Kings and Queens Cantina, you can also order from there too!

The wines were fantastic, but what really made the experience stand out was the service. Everyone we interacted with was warm, welcoming, and genuinely excited to share their wines and story with us. Our sommelier was especially wonderful and made the tasting feel personal and relaxed rather than rushed or scripted. One of our favorite parts of the visit was the chocolate and wine pairing that my husband and I did together. Every pairing was thoughtfully put together, and it was so much fun discovering how the flavors changed and complemented each other with every sip and bite. The best surprise of the day? Finding out our sommelier was from the 805! As fellow Central Coast locals, it made the experience feel even more special and gave us an instant connection that we definitely weren't expecting to find in the middle of wine country in Baja.

The main issues seem to be: Seating: we made a reservation,…read morebut were placed outside during an exceptionally hot weekend despite requesting indoor seating or an outdoor table under a ceiling fan. Those areas reportedly remained empty. Conflicting information: One server said we could order à la carte, while another later said only the buffet was available. The captain ultimately denied the request. Poor beverage quality: The Americano coffees appeared to be regular drip coffee, and the orange juice seemed watered down. Slow and inattentive service: Sugar and milk took a long time to arrive, and afterward the servers did not check on our table until we requested the bill. Given the lack of service and the misleading or inconsistent information, we felt the experience did not warrant a tip. The problem wasn't just one minor issue--it was a pattern of poor hospitality, inflexibility, and contradictory communication.

Their policies are straightforward so there were no "surprise" extra charges. Paola provided me with our driver's contact information the day before the tour, which helped a lot. The day of, our driver Martin, contacted me 15 min ahead of schedule, which I really liked. He was very helpful and would always ask if we had a good time at the winery that we happened to visit. He would also accompany us to the entrance of each winery to let the hostess know about our reservation and also, he would communicate with me throughout our stops, without rushing us off course. This dynamic made our itinerary run smoothly. 100% recommend!

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
