What they say
One Michelin Key
Michelin
Tuscan-inspired villas set amid picturesque vineyards and olive groves. Yet there’s plenty of Mexican character to the interiors outfitted in native wood and stone…
Tucked away
A place apart: the property is the destination.
Boutique wineries and olive farms line the surrounding valley floor, with the Pacific coast at Ensenada a short drive west.
The rooms
Ground-floor suites open onto private stone terraces with fire pits, while upper levels feature vaulted wood ceilings and dedicated wine storage.
The pool
Bring a swimsuit.
Wicker loungers and cream umbrellas line the outdoor pool, looking out across grapevines toward the mountain ridges.
The gym
Cardio equipment, weights, and a heavy punching bag sit beneath the sloped terracotta tile ceiling.
Dogs stay too.
Restaurant
Latitud 32
Woven lanterns hang from timber beams above a stone fireplace, with menus highlighting Yucatecan achiote pork and grilled steaks.
At the table
Sommeliers lead tastings among stacked oak barrels in the underground cava, and Polaris serves Pacific seafood from Ensenada.
How it began
Founder Gustavo Ortega Joaquín drew inspiration from French wine country before planting 15 grape varietals across the estate in 2013.
