Lunario
Contemporary Mexican cuisine with an emphasis on locally sourced ingredients and Baja-Med flavors. A 6-course dinner pairs each dish with a wine that complements the flavors....even the fig ice cream was paired with a local wine (a tempranillo). Ecologically minded travelers will appreciate that the restaurant was awarded a green star in the 2025 Michelin Guide in recognition of their sustainability efforts.

Corona del Valle
Bright, airy, modern winery just off the busy MEX 3 highway. Surprisingly family friendly with a kids play area and several dishes on a kids menu in the restaurant (most wineries seem to assume that wine drinkers never travel with kids). The winery produces an outstanding Chardonnay and several red wines, including Merlot, Malbec, and Tempranillo.

Reales #2 is a blend of seven grape varietals, aged 15 months in French and American oak.
