Museo del Vino and Deckman's

The Museo del Vino is a giant gorgeous building dedicated to wine education.

The inside has historical wine information and lots of information about winemaking.

But I prefer the architecture and the landscaping.

Out in front the have a garden of old winemaking equipment.

They've also layered the grounds with lots of texture.

Bottling equipment.  Old corker.

Tractor.

I love the use of stone and brick and glass and barrel staves.

Mosaic.

All the green is broken wine glass bottles.

Barrel staves and corks.


Valle de Guadalupe has some fantastic restaurants.
One of my first visits was to Deckman's.

Very casual but lovely setting.

The chef Drew Deckman preparing lunch.  Fresh ingredients and great flavors.

The eating area and kitchen are all outside.
It's a little hidden but worth the scavenger hunt to eat here.

And now this . . 

Small winery co-op in Baja.
