You can find yourself in the heart of the Valle de Guadalupe wine growing region of Mexico within a 2-hour drive from San Diego. Although this region in Baja California has been enticing food and wine lovers for years, a recent influx of innovative chefs and wine producers has put the area firmly on the map for foodies.

You can look forward to tantalizing your taste buds with impressive limited-release wines, some of the best olive oils on the continent, and great cheeses to pair with them both.

This is also where you will find some of the most popular restaurants in the region offering fresh, innovative food created by subtly combining Mexican, Mediterranean, and Oriental influences. In addition, there are brilliant beaches and golf courses nearby.
