Life like you want to experience it - for a few days or a few weeksWelcome to Valle de Guadalupe, Baja California, Mexico.
Valle de Guadalupe is Mexico's wine valley. It is 2 hours drive south of San Diego in Baja California, Mexico. We are also just 15 minutes inland from Ensenada, a lovely coastal city and cruise port. Please notice I said we are... we are not there physically yet but we are there in our minds and in our hearts with a grand dream of this B&B and all that it can offer people. Scroll through these posts and watch it come to life before your eyes. ALL PICTURES ARE EXAMPLES from our last trip there to give you an idea of what we will create. Then visit the project funding tab to see how you can become involved if this project inspires you.
Imagine Oliver, BC 40 years ago... that is our Valle de Guadalupe except it already has about 80 established wineries. What really intrigued and impressed Shawn and I was the fact that everyone is starting big and putting millions of dollars into their projects right from the start. Although currently the town is built on dirt roads. |
The above pictures are an example of what we will build.
The Casitas will actually be built from earth bags. Very environmentally friendly construction. Affordable and easy for anyone to learn how to build. Come and see for yourself. Below are some Casita names we are playing with named after varieties of grapes grown in the area. How many ways can we play with this? We can play with the decor in each casita, post a write up in each casita about the details of the grape with that name (for those who love trivia) and it is possible even a bottle of wine showcasing that grape could appear in its corresponding room. |

BarberaThis wine grape is special in its versatility, making it perfect for growing in Mexico’s Valle De Guadalupe climate. The wine itself is characterized by its notes of black and red cherry, blackberry, spice, and chocolate. Barbera wines typically see oak but can age well within a few years to gain a character profound within itself.

ChardonnayChardonnay’s long list of different flavors depend on the fruit notes and spices of the wine itself. Buttered, oak influences contribute the wine to fresh apple, pear, tropical, citrus, and melon flavors. It pairs well with poultry dishes, pork, seafood, and recipes involving heavy cream and butter bases.
