"The first Oceanside restaurant to be awarded a Michelin star, Valle, helmed by Chef Roberto Alcocer (also of Malva in Valle de Guadalupe), has turned a small surfing town into a dining destination. Alcocer transports his cuisine stateside, showcasing his approach to Baja and Californian ingredients in a meat or vegetarian tasting menus with optional wine pairings that spotlight Baja’s wine region. Grab a seat at the chef’s table for an insider look at the well-oiled kitchen." - Candice Woo, Helen I. Hwang
