So fun, safe, and delicious

 For the Private Guadalupe Valley tour, our guide Mario picked our crew of 7 up at our hotel in downtown San Diego. He was at the hotel early, which was great. The border crossing into Tijuana was easy, since we had a guide and driver. To be more comfortable, we switched from a small van to a large Sprinter van after the border crossing. The ride down to our wine tours was pretty along the coast. Mario gave tidbits of info all along the way with respect to the areas and culture. We were assured that we could stop for rest room breaks as often as needed. Our tour (which is different each time because there are over 100 wineries in the valley) included three beautiful locations and a restaurant that served a incredible family-style meal for our table that included enough vegetarian dishes to meet the needs of our veggie eaters. Although all of the wineries were fantastic and beautiful and the wine good for the wine drinkers, our group decided our fav was the first winery, which we did not purchase wine from at the time. However, Mario has a link on his follow up email, to order online from the locations we visited. We were supposed to observe the wine making process, but we did not do this part of the trip. Locations visited: Clos de Tres Cantos, Vinos Marlott, and Magoni; With our meal at Finca Altozado. All recommended.
