First Look: Finca La Divina - @lifeandfood

Based upon my traffic sources log, there is a lot of interest in Javier Placencia's new bed and breakfast, Finca La Divina.  I have yet to find any information about an opening date or how to make reservations, but it appears that Life and Food had a first look this weekend.

Update: Finca La Divina now has an Instagram account and left a contact email address in the comments.

Finca La Divina's email: mkt@chefjavierplascencia.mx

Travel Guide: Zen Girl - Valle de Guadalupe 2015


Mandy Burstein posted her 2015 guide to Valle de Guadalupe today.  Her guides are essential reading for anyone planning a trip to Valle de Guadalupe.   They are filled with excellent suggestions for places to stay, where to eat, and things to do.  

And, anyone who puts La Gotera into their guide to the Valle really knows the inside scoop.



Note: Mandy, thanks for the shout out.





Wine Recommendations: Vivino


Among the many other things found on their site, Vivino generates crowd sourced ratings for wines.  While I'm sure a crowd sourced rating system is flawed. the wines of Valle de Guadalupe are well represented on these lists.

More Airbnb Listings



We have used Airbnb for a couple of years to book lodging for our travels to great success.  Frustratingly, there were very few Airbnb options in Valle de Guadalupe.  But, in the past couple months more than a dozen listings have been added.

This is very good news!

I have added links to the new listings here:
