El Cielo was easily one of the highlights of our trip to Valle de Guadalupe. The property is…read moreabsolutely breathtaking! 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.

Casa Magoni is something else entirely. By the time we got here we'd already done Monte Xanic,…read moreBruma, and Vena Cava, so I thought I knew what wine tasting in the Valle looked like. I did not. The grounds are stunning. You're on an active working orchard with views in every direction, and dropped right in the middle of it is the most enormous oak tree I have ever seen. That tree, you guys. It's MASSIVE. Ancient. The whole property is built around it, and drinking wine in its shade was straight up surreal. There were dogs wandering around. Families on picnic blankets. A live band playing under the tree. People dancing on their own. It's magical. The wine was freaking delicious. The charcuterie was good. The service was good. Nothing stood out either way on the service, but with everything else going on, I genuinely didn't pay attention. This isn't a quiet, learn-about-your-tannins kind of tasting. It's a hangout, and it's the kind of afternoon you'll be talking about long after you go home. A must on any Valle trip. Pro tip: come hungry, come ready to hang out, and come ready to feel like you're in a fairy tale, because that tree. Just sayin'!

For those in the know, the Valle can produce some over ripe wines. But the owner here does a good job of screening out those lesser wines and provides a good selection for the wine enthusiast if not the sommelier. Prices are also very reasonable and they have a good selection of beer as well if you happen to come with people who prefer the beer craft. I would definitely come back. I am taking bottles home. Not a bad place to pick up wine if you can't make it to the Valle!

Lots of Valle de Guadalupe wines and also imports -- many of the imports are done by mexican winemakers living abroad. There are two locations, this location (2511 Jalisco) is open till 10pm most nights so it's the place for going out in the evening/night. The other location closes earlier.
