In Mexico’s top wine region yet one of its best-kept secrets: Valle de Guadalupe. Less than two hours from San Diego by car through Baja California’s harsh desert landscape, the fertile valley welcomes you like a Garden of Eden. When you step into Villa del Valle—a British couple’s dream come true—you think you’ve been teleported to Tuscany. Everywhere you look it’s grapevines, fields of lavender, shimmering, silvery olive trees. But the interior of the villa with its six guest rooms shows Mexico straightup, with bold colors and typical local furnishings.
