People come to Valle de Guadalupe for the wine and stay for the food. The valley eats as well as anywhere in Mexico, and much of it happens outdoors, over fire, with the vineyards in view.
The pioneers
Deckman's en El Mogor, from chef Drew Deckman, helped invent the valley's farm-to-table cooking — an open-air kitchen where much of what you eat is grown on site. It remains one of the essential meals here.
Cooking over fire
Finca Altozano, from chef Javier Plascencia, is the valley's most beloved big table: wood-fired, generous, Baja through and through. Next door, his Animalón sets a more intimate table under an old oak tree and earned a Michelin star in 2025.
For a special night
Corazón de Tierra serves a set menu built almost entirely from its own gardens, and Fauna — Michelin-starred, endlessly inventive — is a destination in itself, its menu changing with what the day brings.
The one rule: reserve. These tables are small and book out, sometimes weeks ahead. Give the concierge a few days' notice and we will secure the best table we can and time it to your wineries.
