Hacienda Guadalupe, 'Melchum' Tempranillo, Valle de Guadalupe, Baja, Mexico, 2020

Overview of the Wine
The natural beauty of this countryside place offers unparalleled views of breathtaking sunsets and the wine route. The atmosphere’s serenity is emulated by the use of rustic natural materials in the architecture of our contemporary hacienda style hotel, such as laja stone, handmade roof tiles and bricks made by local producers and abundant use of fine woods in its details and finishes.

One of the emblematic activities of Baja California’s valleys is the production of high quality wines, reason for which this beautiful region is called “The land of the wine”. It is for this same reason that we take pleasure in bringing the experience of wine to our guests.

Hacienda Guadalupe first opened its doors as a result of a couple’s vision who, inspired by the valley and its wine producing vocation, launched on this adventure. Daniel and Gaby have created a space of relaxation and comfort that brings together an experience that includes: regional cooking, the comfort of a boutique style hotel, the flavors and aromas of the grapevines and the landscape of the wine route.

Melchum, the house wines were named to honor Gaby, they received a well deserved award in 2013 by the judging panel in the international competition Ensenada Tierra del Vino 2013 and once again in 2014, a competition that is organized by Baja California’s State University: Universidad Autónoma de Baja California.

We are located across from the Wine Museum, up a little hill that portrays Hacienda Guadalupe’s vineyards right in front of us, the contemporary hacienda style architecture welcomes each guest making them feel a part of the great family that look after our hotel and restaurant.
