Próximamente (Coming Soon): Once Pueblos
Back in April I was told that Once Pueblos, a new restaurant that is part of the Sierra Vid Winery project, would open in July. That timeline has obviously slipped, but from all appearances the opening of Once Pueblos will add another quality dining experience to the Valle's already impressive roster.

Special Events: Baja Wine + Food
If you are interested in special events with winemakers and chefs from Valle de Guadalupe, you should absolutely follow Baja Wine + Food on Facebook. Fernando Gaxiola and his talented team organize and promote events in the Valle and Southern California.
Last night we attended a wine pairing dinner at Cueva Bar in San Diego featuring the wines from Viñedeos Montefiore. Winemaker/owner Paolo Paoloni was there to tell his story and to present his wines that were paired with delicious dishes prepared by Chef Oz.
A good time was had by all.

Dog Friendly Lodging - Skipper the Travel Dog - Casa Mayoral
I am often asked to recommend a dog friendly hotel in the Valle. In the past I didn't have an answer, but today thanks to Skipper the Travel Dog I can say, Casa Mayoral.
Via Skipper the Travel Dog's Facebook page.
Casa Mayoral is one of the few dog friendly hotels or BnBs in Baja's lovely Valle de Guadalupe, and I had the best time there during my recent stay! I made lots of new friends, and got to speak in my native Dog Spanish with them. Even the humans who run the place were super cool! I highly recommend Casa Mayoral to my fellow dog travelers and their humans!!Thanks Skipper!

Restaurant Guide: The Culture Trip
The title of this article is a tad misleading as I wouldn't characterize any of the listed places as a seafood restaurant. That being said, they all serve delicious seafood (among other things).
