Valle De Guadalupe, Mexico’s wine country, is one of the hottest up-and-coming wine regions. Could this hidden spot be the next Napa? Just 90 minutes from San Diego (and 4 hours from Los Angeles, outside peak traffic), Valle De Guadalupe makes a relaxing weekend getaway from southern California. In fact,…
Valle De Guadalupe wineries provide us with our annual zen moment. It’s basically become our annual pilgrimage from Los Angeles every January — the perfect time to visit with smaller crowds and cooler temperatures. We’ve made the trip south of the border for years, and Kevin and I both agree…
