oh i'm so excited for today's video because i am bringing you guys to somewhere actually i've
never been to before and literally know nothing about i just found out a couple days ago that i
am going to valle de guadalupe and i want to bring you guys along with this adventure so that we can
find out more about this phenomenal and beautiful place together so let's dive in cheers ladies
and if you're new here hola i'm christine with where in the world is CL and i make
travel videos every week so we get up go travel so if you like to travel consider
subscribing i'm not gonna lie i'm having so much fun on this trip already look at this
right now i'm doing a tasting at casa macaroni which is one of the wineries that's kind of at
the entrance of vaya guadalupe we just arrived at winery numero uno and i'm
so excited because i think we're going to be having wine under a really beautiful oak tree
one thing that's really unique about this specific winery is that the winemaker has 120 different
varietals of grapes that's a lot but really phenomenal wine i've been super happy so far
really beautifully designed out here look at where we're going
one tip i have for you if you're coming here is it is hot out here actually and what's really
interesting is that there's no water in this area and so it's actually a really big challenge for
them to bring water into this area but aside from that it is very very hot so make sure you
dress appropriately the temperature does change at night so make sure you bring layers as well
here's a helpful tip because i was asking what happens if you come
to visit the wineries just on your own because i'm here with the tour group which
actually we'll talk about that in just a second plus how the heck do you get down here so
we'll get into that but what's interesting to know is that if you're like me here on a
thursday then not a big deal if you just drop in mid-week but don't forget to look hours of the
different wineries because they're not necessarily open seven days a week so if you come midweek
when they're open then you can just drop in but generally on the weekends you need a reservation
i really love this place but you wanna know what time it is it's time to drink at the next
thank you i don't know where we are but i'm excited
wow wow what an amazing time i have an entire table full of very sweaty hot fermenting lovely
lit ladies behind me and we have been having the most phenomenal tasting a few
of the highlights of this tasting has been wow kristen came out the winemaker came out and she
chatted with us about her whole process and her journey and it's been a phenomenal
learning about these amazing wines at lechuza one of the amazing things about this tour and
this winery is they really will do a lot to make sure that you are happy and my sister loves nebula
wines and so off of their normal tasting menu they did something a little bit extra special for us
and serving as something they don't normally serve and it was a very special experience on
site they have a food truck they have a food truck and it's great to be able to have a bite to eat
as you are sweating your butt off and inside they have a full little shop where you can buy wines of
course but also a lot of fun other things as well oh i've been having so much fun and the this is
the current temperature that it is right now in case you're like it can't be that hot christine
no it's hot but to be honest it hasn't been as hot as it normally is here it's been a very hot year
for them with temperatures as high as 120 degrees fahrenheit so i can't even imagine that but this
is a spot that you cannot miss but you want to know what's next air conditioning the hotel chat
i don't recommend driving yourself we are very drunk oh
so what i'm genuinely curious about is how the hell do we get up to those rooms
is a really interesting property but to get around this property you must take the shuttle everywhere
my savior i'm taking you guys on what the shuttle is like just to go to the pool and then the rooms
and if you know anything about gopro this is shot on time warp 5x and then sped up 8x
bye so you never good luck which the translation of that is that it takes a very long
time to get around this property which is really really beautiful half the group went
to the pool which is really nice but i decided to go to the room and again i
sped this up for you guys because even the walk to the room yeah oh yeah yeah oh cool
that's a beautiful view tell me in the comments below what you think of the room and these types
of rooms i think it's kind of interesting i have stayed in places like this before but this one's
a little unique because it's a desert landscape this is the rate that we are paying i'm curious
what your thoughts are on that tell me in the comments below oh and cheers that like button if
you're getting some value out of this video but this is where i'm staying i'm actually sharing
with my sister so we're gonna create a little pillow wall but it is it's hot i
think you can see how can you see how sweaty i am make sure tip you bring a ton of sunscreen
call for help mayday mayday i need wine mayday mayday wine i think it's out of batteries oh it's
of nice very basic shower nice simple i guess i'm neither here nor there about it
after a nap or passing out i asked my sister what she thought of the room first impression
of the room it's fine but now it is time to go to dinner this place rocks
oh thank you as we drove to dinner and i'm so excited
for you to see the dinner that we had i realized that encuentro is not unique
in other words there are lots of unique places to stay but the dinner we had at lunario it is
so excited for dinner i'm getting angry but tip if you're choosing to drive out here there's a lot of
paved roads the majority of it is not like this so even though we didn't go that far for dinner
it took a long time because raphael was bumping over these crazy roads oh it's pretty in here
oh here's another helpful tip temperature drops at night it's very very hot during the day wish i had
my jacket right now bring layers dinner tonight is a fixed menu with a wine pairing and i am hungry
okay
all right well it is early it's like 7 30. it's already insanely hot outside but can't
go anywhere in this place without having to take the shuttle like you can't walk
somewhere on your own i just want some coffee so instead we're just going to
pack everything up and get the f out of here uh and coffee on the lake beautiful
let's talk about how to get in and out as well as who the heck was i on this trip
with and who was my tour guide thank you so much you're welcome how do people flying for
i just waited for two hours and eight minutes to get through the immigration line and i put a
link in the description below so you can look at the u.s border wait times but basically there's
no way to really avoid or anticipate what time you should try to cross the border at
but it was a pretty long wait out there and it's not super fun
like disneyland it wraps for days i have my global entry card if you have a global entry
card definitely get one if you don't because you can breeze right through but given no one else in
my group had one i just waited with everyone else but we chose to walk in and out of mexico versus
driving in so i went on this tour with my sister and her friends and we used club tango ombre
and it was with violeta and raphael that we were taken all over via de guadalupe it was
a really great experience having someone to curate and create an amazing experience for us
i do recommend that you do an overnight trip it's kind of a lot to go all the way down there have
a very hot and sweaty day drinking all the wine and then heading all the way back over
the border and waiting in that line so i would recommend at least one night as an overnight trip
i discovered something new i hope you had some fun with me in this video if you did cheers that
like button consider subscribing and tell me in the comments what you know about via de guadalupe
and if it's somewhere that you would consider and i will see you in the next adventure ciao
