In the heart of Valle de Guadalupe, an enchanted vineyard emerged with love over time. La Casa de Doña Lupe is a serene place to enjoy delicious natural and organic products including jams, sauces, olives, olive oil, bread, cheese, and unique wines created by a woman dedicated to excellence. Born in Sonora Badesi next to the Yaqui River, Doña Lupe attended primary school only through fifth grade, yet managed to launch an agricultural development that has become a leader in the organic movement.

L.A. Cetto Winery, where you'll enjoy a tour and catered lunch overlooking the Guadalupe Valley, is a renowned and prestigious winery known for producing high-quality wines. With a history dating back to 1928, L.A. Cetto has gained national and international acclaim for its diverse range of wines made from carefully selected grape varieties. Spanning over 2,000 acres of vineyards, the winery combines traditional practices with modern techniques to create wines that capture the essence of the region and showcase the flavors and aromas of its grapes.
