Beautiful outdoor dining area overlooking the valle. We started with a dozen oysters - half raw, served on ice and topped with dainy purple edible flowers - tiny and perfect. Even better paired with their famous sparkling rose. Then we tried a half dozen roasted oysters, served in a chili butter and topped with pork Chicarron, epazote and lemon zest - unbelievable! The abalone aguachile, with cucumber, garlic aioli, was wonderful. We weren't really a fan of the tamale with chocolate clam and Geoduck - the tamale had strange flavor, and Geoduck is very chewy. The tempura oyster tacos were delicious. They now have some vegetable dishes, so we tried the roasted carrots, which were good, but the roasted mixed vegetables w/ beet puree and guava sauce was unbelievable! Everything has stunning presentation, served in abalone or clam shells and topped with little flowers or other garnishes. Can't wait to return!

The setting alone is worth the visit wide open views, rustic-modern design, and so many photo worthy spots you'll find yourself snapping pictures all throughout your visit. Whether it's the hillside views, the outdoor seating, or the golden hour lighting, this place is made for unforgettable moments. Now the food... incredible. Th ecachete is packed with flavor and cooked perfectly, and the pulpo is hands down one of the best I've had tender, smoky, and seasoned just right. Every dish feels thoughtfully prepared and elevated without losing that Baja charm. The drinks also deserve a shoutout great mixed drinks that are refreshing, well-balanced, and perfect to sip while taking in the views. Overall, Finca Altozano delivers on all fronts: amazing food, killer drinks, and a beautiful atmosphere with plenty of photo ops. Definitely a 5-star experience and a spot I'll keep coming back to

I ended up doing the tequila tasting since I absolutely suck at drinking wine, and honestly, it was such a fun experience.

The whole place had a creative, laid-back vibe that made it easy to relax and enjoy the experience. If you're looking for something different from the usual wine tasting scene, this spot is definitely worth checking out.

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.

Executive chef Abraham Sepulveda had prepared us for a five course meal using all local ingredients and seafood. For the table, we were served warm homemade sourdough with local olive oil. This was fantastic. First Course- Local Green Salad with cream of beet and goat cheese. This was a simple, delicious salad to start. Second Course- Local Blue Fin Tuna and Scallop Ceviche - So fresh and delicious. This was served with blue corn chip. The blue fin tuna just melts in your mouth, and the scallop was so sweet. Third Course- Local Clam Puree Soup with Fennel Olive Oil- This simple looking bowl of soup was full of delicious clam flavor. It was rich and creamy and went very well with the sourdough bread. Fourth Course- Local Mussels and Scallop Risotto topped with Local Rockfish- Excellent dish. The Risotto, mussels, and scallop were perfectly cooked. The star of the show local Rockfish was pan-fried to perfection. The rockfish skin was crispy, and the meat of the fish was flaky and moist. Fifth Course- Dessert- Vanilla Cake with Vanilla Bean Gouache with Mexican Chocolate Panacatta - What a great way to end the meal. The vanilla cake was nice and warm. It has a nice crust on the outside while the inside is nice and moist. It paired nicely with the vanilla bean gouache and the chocolate panacatta. Service at Ariete was excellent. Overall, we enjoyed the food, the experience, and the hospitality that Ariete had to offer. I highly recommend them.

The eggplant itself was so well cooked - it practically melted in your mouth. And at first I thought strawberries on top of a fried eggplant sounded super weird, but wow it worked - the sweetness from the strawberries (warm/slightly cooked) paired with the slightly bitter pieces of grapefruit and the salty capers... just wow. I don't really have any other words to describe it! Go here and order this if you are in Valle de Guadalupe! The setting is very pretty; lots of tables outdoors with great views of the valley/mountains. I wish they had a little bit larger wine selection since they're right there at Vena Cava but still overall a great meal that I'd highly recommend!

Luckily, we were able to secure a table at Quercus. The waiter was prompt and gave us excellent recommendations for dinner. The chef was also quick to come and ensure that any questions we had about the menu were answered. The bread was served fresh with salsa - a combination I have not had before. Both the green and red salsa were not too spicy and to my surprise, went well with the toasted bread. For our main courses: 1. Grilled Octopus - 5 star presentation! Well seasoned and not chewy - which is something many other restaurants get wrong. The octopus still had a bite, but was still tender enough. It went well with the pickled onions and the guacamole that was served with the dish. 2. Ribeye - Again, excellent presentation befitting of fine dining. This was a huge portion, but well seasoned and not dry. We opted for the 500g (larger) size upon recommendation of our waiter, but probably could have gone for the smaller size. We could not finish it; perhaps if we had 3 people dining. Our meal was paired with an excellent white wine blend from one of the local wineries upon recommendation of our waiter. Highly recommended if you are in the area looking for a restaurant to have dinner at. If I were to describe this place: mediterranean food with a Mexican flare.

This was a pleasant surprise!…read more Came in with a large group and I cannot tell you how amazing everything was from the presentation to the flavor!

We were the only diners there but it was a Thursday evening, so I suppose that was it. That said, felt lonely. The food...feel sad to say this but meh. We got the 5 course tasting menu. There was no printed menu of the dishes so pardon the simple descriptions; this is all I can remember. The first course was vegetables on a puree of white beans and fennel. EXCELLENT. 2) Fried rabbit on a mayonnaise sauce. OK, putting something fried in mayonnaise without any acid is just too rich on rich. 3) Fish in a puttanesca sauce. Now, I don't like puttanesca, so there's that, BUT my fish wasn't cooked properly. Not seared and rare in the middle, but just undercooked. 4) Chicken in a sauce I can't remember. SUPER juicy and perfectly cooked but the seasoning and sauce...big meh from me. 5) Oy. I really didn't like this one. Lemon verbena flan in a honey-like sauce with fresh cherries. The cherries were lovely but otherwise...sugar on sugar on sugar. Yikes. Don't make this again...ever. Start over. Overall, felt overpriced for the quality of the food. Would skip this one.

Not here. Upon arrival, we were the only ones there (it was the off season), but eventually the dining room filled up. We were greeted by a pleasant hostess and seated next to the real fireplace. Very cozy atmosphere with a cabin-like feel. Here, you feel at home. The 5 course pre-fixe menu for about $2000 MXN/person is the only option. The menu changes daily based on fresh and local ingredients. They will make substitutions for allergies, but thankfully that never applies to me. Everything we had was delicious. There were really 6 courses, a pre-dessert before the dessert. Highly recommended. I would definitely go back. Reservation requires a deposit. Plenty of parking.
