Wow. What an experience. The vibes, views, hosts, food, and wine were all immaculate. And the tasting was barely more money than the wine only one we had at nearby wineries. Easily the highlight of the trip for our entire group. I'll definitely be returning here every time I visit Valle de Guadalupe. read more

I don't know where to even begin with my review of our experience at Trevista so I will begin with "Hay no coincidencias" I had saved Trevista before our visit and didnt realize the requirement for pre reservations at most places in the Valle rather than just winging it so I emailed on Friday hoping to manage a reservation for the next day. I was thrilled to see an email on Saturday saying we were welcome for the 2nd tasting of the day and then filled with panic as I saw when it was sent, didn't have service and that time was quickly approaching. Thankfully i got wifi, replied that we would love to be there, got a reply saying we were good to go and off we went. I will thank our luck a large amount on the weather as many people cancelled due to pouring rain and flooded roads. The roads are rough, especially in the rain so a larger vehicle or a tour driver would definitely be beneficial but we made it happen. Upon arrival we were greeted with hugs, conversation, drinks and blankets and it honestly felt like we just showed up to the home of a family member. With the weather, it ended up just being the two of us and another couple who drove out for the day and previously was married at the vineyard which made for the most intimate afternoon tasting. My fiancé (oh that's still weird to say haha) is not really a wine drinker and I don't usually drinks reds but we both loved all 3 years of the tasting and the tapas that come with each were so delicious. One of the pairings was a taco with meat that I don't eat so I gave it to him and was more than thankful when Hilda noticed and asked her team to make a potato taco for me to take part. With the impeccable vibes, Carlos decided this was the right time and place and completely unbeknownst to me he had let James and Hilda know about his plan and they assisted in the greatest intimate proposal I could have ever dreamed of, rain and chilly temperatures and all. After our tasting we all spoke around the table like we had known each other for years and it really was the most special day and experience I could have ever asked for. We will definitely be back sooner than later, especially since we both fell in love with not only the humans on site but vineyard good boy Corcho. Thank you both for your hospitality, I honestly can't express it enough. read more

We had our wedding at Trevista in June of 2023 and it couldn't have been more perfect. The setting absolutely stunned our guests! We especially loved that all 110 of us could sit at one big table in the middle of the vineyard under the beautiful string lights and a full moon. Hilda also did the catering and WOW was it amazing. Our friends are still raving about the short rib and desserts! Her team is so professional and service was impeccable. Hilda was able to recommend some of the vendors who she'd worked with in the past to provide a seamless experience. We are so grateful to have found this special place in the Valle and will be coming back for Hilda's tastings and a Trevista wine for many years to come! read more

1st time to Valle and I had an entire itinerary for my husband and I. Our first evening we went to dinner at Pardella Humo y Brasa. Even though I checked the weather prior to going it was colder than expected. The gentleman at the next table offered an extra blanket he had brought for him and his wife. A while later, we started up a conversation with the his group and the wife ask what brings us to Valle and if we had plans the next day. We told her we had some tastings and lunch planned at Fuana. She said if you're not busy at 3p you should come by TreVista for Tapas and Tasting. It's the only winery that does Tapas and Tasting and it's by reservation only. I said can you get us on the list? She said yes give me your information she pauses and says what time is your lunch at Fuana? I tell her at 1pm she said I don't think you will make it on time and you don't want to rush at Fuana, so next time you guys are in Valle come see us. They tell us to have a good evening and left. Hubby and I thought about it and later that evening reached out via the TreVista webpage where we found out the couple were the owners! We sent an email stating we would like to attend the Tapa and Tasting after all. Hilda emailed us back the next morning saying we were more than welcomed. We cancelled Fuana!!! James and Hilda are amazing individuals with pure hearts. So happy we ran into them, TreVista ended up being a highlight of our trip! read more

This place is amazing! Beautiful views and amazing wine. The service is exquisite! I definitely recommend this winery! Vivian was amazing she deserves a raise! She knew so much about the family that owns the winery and details about the wine! We bought 2 bottles of wine and will be back the next time we are in Ensenada! read more

A-M-A-Z-I-N-G!!! Thank you to Tim B. who introduced a group of us to this wonderful winery! Run by a fun, lovely, hospitable husband and wife (Jim and Hilda) team who clearly love what they do, this felt like being invited into the home of a friend's relatives. We got to learn about the history of their vineyard and go down into the cava and learned more about their wine making process. After, we were treated to generous pours of their tempranillo (and bought a few bottles to go!) and plate after plate of exquisite tapas to go with the wine. The pairings were spot on and it's even better knowing that Hilda is a self-taught chef. The flavors were incredible. The grounds in their entirety were simply beautiful. It's not necessarily a place you'd pass by on accident, but one you have to be guided to and will never forget. It was relaxing and peaceful, a perfect spot in the middle of the beautiful Valle de Guadalupe. read more

This place was FANTASTIC. I see on their Instagram that they do weddings too here, and I could totally see myself getting married here some day ... it's a beautiful place. We came here with Tim B. this past Sunday as part of the YSB Mexico UYE (wine and tacos - what more can you ask for??), and this was our first stop. James and Hilda were great hosts - Hilda's tapas (small plates) were delicious, and I scarfed up all of them, even the lamb empanada (and I don't usually like lamb). We tried the 2012, 2013, and 2014 Tempranillo that Trevista makes, and I don't usually like red wine either but all of it was so tasty, especially with the tapas. We also saw the fields and the cellar, and got to meet the three very cute pups who live at the winery too. I'm going to try and come back to Trevista some day ... such a gorgeous place and the wine and food were incredible. read more

James and Hilda are such special people and their wine tasting experience was truly unforgettable. They're both incredibly personable, put together a great ambience and their Tempranillos are delicious. They were served at the perfect temperature, with the most AMAZING food pairings made by Hilda and James was so generous. The 2.5 hours spent with them were truly not enough. I can't wait to return again and again! You two have a forever visitor!! read more

Trevista Vineyards was the first of two wineries our group visited during the day trip to the Guadalupe Valley. It is owned by the husband-wife team James (Jim) and Hilda, OC residents who maintain the vineyard on weekends. This is the reason behind their reservations-only policy. When the van opened Jim greeted us to his home with open arms along with his three winery dogs who were happily greeting me and the other tour companions. Hilda was busy in the back making the finishing touches for the accompanying small bites we were to have with our wines. Our trip was divided in two parts: Jim would take us through the vineyard and cellars while Hilda would then guide us through the culinary portion of the tour. Jim was very knowledgable about the winemaking process. What sets them apart from other wineries in the valley is their sustainability practices and their specialization in one grape varietal, tempranillo. Everything starts in the vineyard as they handpick the grapes at appropriate ripeness. The straw hay acts as a natural weed repellent as it can easily be taken out. The leaves provide natural shade for the grapes. Everything has a reason and is connected with the "circle of life", which also continues in the cellar. The cellar, according to Jim, is temperature and climate controlled by natural means. Well water and a "tea" produced by worms produce the water necessary for the cellar to function and the tea acts as a natural pesticide that is applied to the leaves. The frogs come out from the drain also act as insect cleaners. After the vineyard and cellar tour we were seated at a large table where Jim would take us on a vertical tasting of the 2012, 2013 and 2014 vintages and pair the vintages with Hilda's creations. We had about 8 courses of pinchos (light bites) - palate cleanser, 2 main courses per wine and a mignardise at the end. Hilda's secret to success was an Argentinian channel they watched while the winery was being constructed. She would make dishes from the channel the week after the dish was introduced. Hilda did such an excellent job with the pinchos that I really don't have a favorite "course" as I liked everything! The wines complemented the pinchos well. As for the wines themselves the tempranillos themselves were different. Jim instructed us on how to properly observe the wine for defects and how to note the differences between the years. We were given crystal glasses to observe differences. - 2013 was more clear and smooth and was my favorite vintage. - 2012 was more cloudy and heavier. - 2014 had lots of sulfites and thus needed to be decanted and was suited for the last courses. The main take-home lesson is that tempranillo is a versatile wine that can be paired a lot of food. We got to try beef jerky from one of our companions, which Jim paired with a 2009 cabernet. It was one of the lighter and sweeter cabernets, which is very unusual for a cab. I am not a cabernet person but I liked it so much that I spent $40USD on a bottle. It's comparable to some of the cabs I found at another specialty cab winery in Napa Valley with its bottles going for at least $100. Sadly due to their focus on tempranillo they no longer make cabernet. Thank you so much to Jim and Hilda for entertaining us in your humble abode as well as to Tim (our tour guide) for introducing us to an awesome winery. Trevista is one of the top 5 winery experiences I've encountered as a wino. I would love to one day slowly introduce the No1DP to good red wines and this place is certainly closer to me than wineries in the Napa/Sonoma Valleys. For now I'll just wait for the right opportunity to crack open the 2009 cab... read more

Warning: A visit to Trevista will shatter any good past experiences and ruin all future wine tastings in which you may participate - anywhere in the world. This place deserves a detailed review, but for those who only scan these things, I want to provide a summary upfront: wine is great, views/setting are fantastic, and the hospitality is stellar. If you're coming to Valle de Guadalupe, email Trevista and do everything you can to schedule a tasting here. Okay, ADHD folks - go ahead and send your email. For those who crave detail...let's carry on, shall we? Trevista is a very small production vineyard that's tucked away on a dirt road. Jim, the owner (along with his wife, Hilda) has spent lots of time in Spain learning the tried and true methods for successfully growing the tempranillo grape, and once the wine hits your palette you'll agree that he paid attention during his travels to the Iberian peninsula. As part of the tasting, you'll get a debrief on their winemaking process along with a tour of the small-but-sophisticatedly sustainable cave. Once "class is dismissed," the tasting takes place on a long, wooden table that faces the vineyard and the mountains. There is never any rush, and with our particular group, it almost felt like an impromptu cocktail party with great friends, and sounds of nature accentuated the conversation. Jim and Hilda's hospitality is something to be admired, and it certainly enhances the experience. I hate to ruin surprises (don't taze me bro!), but I need to mention this: Hilda is an excellent chef and you'll get to taste more than just wine when you come to Trevista. Before going to the Valle, the big question mark on my mind was, "ok really, how good is this wine?" You have my word - Trevista is doing it all the right way (read: not the cheap way) and the quality is on par with anything out of Europe or Northern California. Me personally, I enjoyed some of the unique characteristics of the wine down here -- after a while, the same production methods up "north" get a little monotonous. Some tips: (1) plan to spend 2-3 hours here, it's not worth it to rush yourself (this is wine after all!), (2) Trevista is located off of a dirt road, so your car is going to get dusty, and (3) call/email ahead. Going to the Valle without a stop at Trevista is really doing yourself a disservice, so just don't do it, okay? :) read more

Trevista Vineyards gave me a life changing experience. I generally don't drink red wine but the Tempranillo that James makes in small batches is incredible. The small bites his wife Hilda makes are even more mind blowing. But their hospitality and way of doing things is what makes them special and different than anywhere you'll ever go. I was brought here by Tim and Boca Roja Wine Adventures and was amazed from the moment we drove up. The scenery is gorgeous. You're in the middle of nowhere surrounded by mountains and the sounds of nature. We were greeted by sweet wine dogs. James, the owner and wine maker gave us a tour of his grapes, cellar, and explained how he makes magic. We were then given a vertical tasting at his outdoor dining table. We tried a beautiful 2012, 2013 and 2014 Tempranillo (the only wine he makes). My personal favorite was the 2013, I brought two bottles home. With each wine his wife Hilda paired two little hors-d'oeuvres or "pinchos" to go with them. They did explain pretty much anything goes with Tempranillo but their choices were so tasty! I did not have anything less than delicious. We sat there for a couple hours enjoying each others company. While the pours were very generous we didn't get too drunk since we had food and took our time. What really sets this place apart is you're basically in their home. The food prepared is made in a You'll also be surrounded by beautiful terrain (Trevista = three views). Pictures don't do the place justice. Do yourself a favor and check this place out! read more

Holy wine grapes batman this is by far the best wine tasting experience in the valley. But not so fast, don't expect to just roll in and start drinking wine. This is by appointment only and only open on weekends. James and Hilda are 2 of the most genuine down to earth people you will ever meet. Forgot about anything you knew about wine tasting and throw it out the window. This is not your typical setup this is much more personal and intimate. This is a mini tour,history lesson, sit down and talk about the wine and a food paring that will blow your mind. From the moment you arrive you are greeted with open arms and treated like family. I had the pleasure of visiting this gem twice in a couple of weeks and feel like we have been friends forever. I will be back bringing more friends to come see for themselves what a wonderful experience awaits in the heart of the valley. read more

We had the best time at this winery Saturday! The owner, James is so passionate about his wine and what he does and it shows while he talks and explains his whole process.

How do I explain this properly... You don't book your VDG weekend months in advance and then try to book one of the two tastings at Trevista Vineyards with James & Hilda on Saturday. You find the weekend they can seat you, book their tasting and THEN book the balance of your weekend around them. With all due respect to all the other wineries, and there are some great ones... once you sit down with James & Hilda, the rest of the wineries just don't seem to matter. Read the other reviews. Enough said... read more

Hands down to owners Hilda and Jimmy! This hidden gem produces 100% organic Tempranillo. This is by far the best Tempranillo I have ever had. They're amazing hosts! If you come to the Valle, this is somewhere you need to stop by. Tell them Ron recommended you lol () read more

Off the beaten path, the lovely owners of Trevista welcomed us to their vineyard and made us feel like family. Wine tasting here is simply fun. The self-taught chef and the winemaker will make sure you leave a fan of their vineyard. We started with a tour and learning about the bio sustainable practices and met the worms that produce tea and keep away insects so they don't have to use pesticides. Then we spent plenty of time tasting wine out of crystal glasses on the patio. I think we spent about three hours here because we were having so much fun. For those less knowledgeable about wine, Trevista will teach you all you need to know (and how to pass for a wine snob!) We tasted Tempranillo from different vintages and a Cabernet Sauvignon from 2009. I walked away with bottled of the 2012 and 2014 Tempranillo. The Cab was equally impressive, but I just couldn't take that much wine back across the border. All wines are available to purchase for $40 a bottle. As for food, your tastebuds will be happy you stopped by Trevista. The chef brought us so much good food! See the photos of stuffed mushrooms and empanadas and mini crepes. She runs a nonprofit that supports orphanages in baja, so the day we visited two girls from one of the orphanages were assisting her. We asked about how she learned to cook such delicious food and was told the secret was the cooking channel! Also, Trevista has three winery dogs! Watch out for the big dog - he tends to plop down somewhere and take a nap - you might just have to step over him. That or he'll slobber on you to get attention. The other two little rascals are pretty cute and will pose for photos. The black and white pup sat under the table facing me for most of the tasting. He must have known I was his biggest fan! That or he thought I was going to "drop" some food to him. read more

I don't even know how to begin telling you about my visit at Trevista. I was lucky to visit this winery this past weekend for my boyfriends birthday and I'm so glad we did. Trevista is beautiful and the owners were the nicest host, after leaving Trevista we felt like family. We started off by getting a tour of the cava and had a taste of the best trempanillo. Here in the cava we learned about all the hard work that is being done to get the best Tempranillo. Not only is the wine the best here but the food is just as good, Hilda is a wonderful chef and blew my mind with the delicious food. Visiting the winery we were able to meet some incredible people we will never forget. This by far was the best experience we shared in The Valle. Can't wait to return! read more

Other reviews lay out the format and experience, so I can only add that yes you should absolutely go. It's worth the slightly higher cost (still a great deal) and the time (you'll spend a least a couple hours here). Be sure to make reservations well in advance.

I've been here twice and have thoroughly enjoyed both times! The first time was for a friend's bachelorette. We had a group of 10 girls and it was excellent. The second time was with a few friends who had not gone to the baja in years. The tasting is intimate and the wine and food pairings are wonderful. You can book the tasting online through eventbrite. This is a must visit while going to wine country in Mexico. read more

This is an experience you will not want to miss. Wonderful owners, delicious food, and, of course, my favorite wines from the Valle.

Absolutely incredible! Came here with a group of friends. Owners Jim and Hilda are the nicest people ever, so warm and welcoming. Jim shares the story of the vineyard, we visited the cava, and learned about how they make the wine. The wine tastings are paired with most delicious tapas, each one better than the last. The vineyard is so beautiful and cozy. Truly a special experience. Could not more highly recommend - as good as it gets. read more
