To fully take advantage of all of Valle de Guadalupe’s great eating and drinking options, it’s best to stay at one of the many hotels along the wine route. This will put you at a good distance from Ensenada but much closer to the area’s fine dining and wineries. For most of the hotels mentioned here, I recommend renting a car: it’s the easiest and most convenient way to move around the valley. Some hotels have their own transportation, but it won’t be on your schedule.

I want to be honest about my bias in my review of this new restaurant: from the very beginning, I’ve wanted to support Baldío’s project. A restaurant that attempts to be zero waste? That uses only local meat, fish and produce, much of it grown right here in Mexico City through an organic CSA? A space full of recycled materials? Nothing could be better for someone who wants to dine well but agonizes over the environmental impact of tourism and eating out.

There’s nothing quite like Valley de Guadalupe in the fall. The grape harvest is wrapping up and the local greenery, deep into the region’s dry season, is starting to crinkle and crackle in the wind. There is this freshness that sweeps over a valley that during the summer can easily be in the 90s for days on end.

When we pull into the rounded drive a stone wishing well sits in the center. The river beside us rushes with urgency downstream and a strain of music can be heard floating out from the dining room. All stone and archways, Molino de los Reyes feels like stepping into a old-fashioned fairy tale. Molino de los Reyes has quite a history. It was originally built as a wheat mill in 18th century.

There are a lot of Tulum hotels along the hotel zone to choose from. Some specialize in wellness, or offer great food, or have super luxurious facilities. Lula, the newest hotel in the Colibri hotel group family, has a little bit of everything — a full wellness schedule, a collection of great dining options at their various Tulum hotels, an on-site spa and luxury beach goods store, and a jungle-encased swimming pool to boot.
