Bruma Valle de Guadalupe

Our experience at this hotel was unfortunately far below expectations. While the property may initially appear charming, the reality is that it lacks even the most basic standards of comfort, service, and transparency—especially given the excessive prices. The following issues made for a frustrating and disappointing stay:||1. No WiFi and No In-Room Communication:|There is no WiFi available in the hotel rooms, just in the common areas. Thus is not just inconvenient—it’s a serious shortcoming, especially for guests who may need to work remotely or handle personal matters online. Making matters worse, there is no telephone in the rooms to contact the front desk. Any request or issue requires physically walking to the lobby, regardless of time or urgency.||2. Water Access Is Inadequate and Overpriced:|Each room includes a single complimentary bottle of water. However, once that is used, there is no way to obtain more, as food and beverage services close early and there are no vending machines or room service options available afterward. Worse still, a single 350 ml bottle of water is sold for 100 pesos (approximately $5 USD)—an unreasonable and exploitative price for something so basic as water.||3. Misleading and Incomplete Amenity Information:|The hotel’s website lists various room amenities in a way that strongly implies they are standard across all accommodations. However, upon arrival, we discovered that our room lacked several of these features—including a mini fridge. When we brought this to the staff’s attention, we were informed that some rooms simply don’t include certain amenities, despite the website making no such distinction. This lack of transparency is misleading and unacceptable. Guests have a right to know exactly what they are booking.||4. Noise Levels:|Every morning, we were woken up by loud music from the hotel’s restaurant. Soundproofing is clearly inadequate, and there seemed to be no attempt to reduce noise levels during early hours. For guests expecting rest or relaxation, this was a constant disruption.||5. No On-Site Transportation Services Despite Long Distances:|The hotel offers no internal transportation or shuttle service, despite the fact that many of its own facilities—such as other restaurants or event spaces—are located up to a 20-minute walk from certain rooms. These walks are not only long, but also completely exposed to the sun, with no trees or shaded paths along the way. In hot or humid weather, this becomes uncomfortable and even exhausting. For a property of this scale and price point, the lack of transportation options is a significant oversight and greatly detracts from guest comfort and convenience.||6. Severely Limited Service Hours and Support:|Once service hours end, at around 8 PM, the hotel provides no way to obtain assistance, food, or even water. There is no staff availability aside from the front desk person, who can’t assist much, no after-hours protocol, and no provisions for guests who may need support later in the day. This is particularly irresponsible given the hotel’s location in Valle de Guadalupe, where there is no nearby town and each hotel or vineyard is several miles apart. Fortunately, we had rented a car and were able to drive approximately 10 minutes to a convenience store—but renting a vehicle is not something every guest automatically plans to do. The hotel should be fully aware of the limitations of its surroundings and, at the very least, provide a basic vending machine or 24-hour access to water and snacks. The current setup is outdated and places the burden entirely on the guest.||7. Rude and Unhelpful Staff (with a Few Exceptions):|Aside from two individuals who were courteous and professional, the majority of the staff we interacted with were dismissive, unhelpful, and at times openly rude. One particularly frustrating incident involved two bottles of wine we had purchased but decided not to consume. When we requested a refund, a staff member first told us it was not possible. Later, he admitted that a refund was possible, but that it would take a long time and there was no guarantee of success. This contradiction was not only dishonest, but indicative of poor training and a lack of accountability. In any professionally run hotel, straightforward systems for returns and refunds should exist and function efficiently.||Conclusion:|This hotel presents itself as a premium property but delivers none of the expected standards in service, transparency, or basic guest care. The lack of WiFi, poor amenity management, inadequate guest support, and unprofessional conduct by staff collectively made this one of the most frustrating hotel stays we’ve had. I would not recommend this hotel to any traveler seeking comfort, reliability, or respectful service.

Casa 8 at Bruma resort looks lovely at first sight since it is hidden among the natural environment created by the vines and rocky terrain.| Once you enter the room you realize that the bathroom has no door and the door of the room has no keys and that the staff leaves the facility al 10 in the night and you are by yourself.|The restaurants are good but are far from the hotel.|You either walk along the lonely and dusty road to get there or wait for somebody from the staff to take you.|Not many amenities.|I stayed for four days. I think that three days would have been enough.|But it is my opinion. |I may be used to more functional places.

Our stay at this hotel was deeply disappointing. Though it markets itself as a premium destination in Valle de Guadalupe, it fails to deliver even the most basic hospitality standards expected at this price point. There is no WiFi anywhere on the property, and no phones in the rooms to contact the front desk. If you need anything—no matter how urgent—you must physically walk to the lobby. This lack of connectivity and internal communication is completely unacceptable in a modern hotel. Water access is severely limited. You receive one small complimentary bottle of water per room. Once that’s gone, there’s no way to get more unless you leave the property. All services close early, and there are no vending machines or room service available afterward. Worse, a single 350ml bottle of water is sold for 100 pesos (around $5 USD)—a blatantly inflated price for something so essential. Room amenities are misleadingly advertised. The website lists several features that appear to be standard, yet our room lacked basic things like a mini fridge. When we asked, staff said “not all rooms have one,” but this was never mentioned when booking. Even more concerning, the in-room toiletries were inadequate and confusingly labeled—a shampoo bottle filled with conditioner, no lotion, no soap bar, and not even toothpaste, which is shocking for a hotel that claims to be high-end. Noise was a major issue. Every morning we were woken up by loud music coming from the restaurant. There is zero soundproofing and no apparent consideration for guests trying to rest. There is no on-site transportation, even though many hotel facilities (restaurants, pools, etc.) are up to a 20-minute walk from the rooms. The walk is fully exposed to the sun, with no trees or shade—uncomfortable and tiring, especially in hot weather. For a hotel of this scale, the absence of transport options is unacceptable. Service is limited to restricted hours, with no support available afterward. The hotel is located in a remote area of Valle de Guadalupe, with no nearby town and several miles between properties. Fortunately, we had rented a car and were able to drive 10 minutes to a convenience store. But not every guest plans to rent a vehicle, and the hotel should know this. At the very least, a vending machine would be a simple, effective solution. Staff behavior was another major disappointment. With two exceptions, most staff members were dismissive, unhelpful, and in some cases, outright rude. One particularly frustrating example: we requested a refund for two bottles of wine we did not consume. Initially, we were told refunds were “not possible.” Later, the same staff member admitted that a refund could be requested but would take a long time and might not be successful. This contradiction was dishonest and unprofessional. A hotel in this price range should have clear, functional systems for simple transactions like returns. ⸻ Final verdict: This hotel is not ready to deliver the premium experience it advertises. From the lack of connectivity and basic amenities to poor service and unreasonable pricing, nearly every part of our stay was frustrating. I would not recommend this property to anyone looking for comfort, reliability, or honest service.

I'm still pinching myself after experiencing the most incredible week of my life. I've had the privilege of staying at Bruma Wine Resort, sipping some of Mexico’s finest wines at Bruma Winery, and dining at the legendary Fauna restaurant. Each destination was a masterclass in luxury. ||Casa 8 by Bruma|I've stayed at some amazing hotels in my time, but Bruma is in a league of its own – you wouldn’t expect this level just an hour south of the border. From the moment I arrived, I was treated like royalty. The staff were attentive, friendly, and seemed to anticipate my every need. My Casa 8 room was a stunning oasis, with lavish amenities that made me feel like I was living in a 5-star palace.||The resort itself is a tranquil haven, with an infinity pool, and world-class restaurants that's a must-visit. I spent hours lounging by the pool, visiting the winery, and enjoying the resort's exceptional dining options. The service was impeccable, with a staff that truly went above and beyond to make my stay unforgettable.||Bruma Winery|As a wine enthusiast, I've had the privilege of visiting some of the world's top wineries, but visiting Bruma is truly unforgettable. The tasting experience was intimate and guided, with the winemaking team sharing their expertise and passion for the craft. The wines themselves are a masterclass in winemaking, with complex and nuanced flavors that showcase the best of Valle de Guadalupe. The cellar and vineyards are a stunning backdrop to the tasting experience, with elegant, rustic-chic architecture and picturesque views of the surrounding countryside.||Fauna Restaurant |I've had the pleasure of dining at some of the world's top restaurants, but Fauna is truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience. The food is innovative, creative, and farm-to-table, with a focus on seasonal, locally sourced ingredients that are transformed into dishes that are both familiar and yet utterly new.|The service is attentive and knowledgeable, with a staff that guides you through the meal and offers expert pairing suggestions. The dining room itself is cozy and rustic-chic, with a lively, convivial atmosphere that makes you feel like you're part of a special club. How can this place not have a Michelin star? ||In short: |This trip was truly the ultimate luxury getaway, and I feel incredibly fortunate to have experienced it. Personalized, with a focus on craftsmanship, attention to detail, and a passion for the craft. If you're looking for a truly unforgettable experience, I highly recommend booking a stay at the Bruma, a private wine tour and tasting at the Bruma winery, and dinner at Fauna.

Excellent stop when in Valle, the wine tasting experience is kind of quick and very small pours, cool ambience. The restaurant although on the pricey side is really worth it, every dish is really well executed and has a nice view.

Beware of their cancellation fee. I booked a 3 night stay for July through Hotels.com but I ended up canceling after 16 hours after booking it. I was charged a cancellation fee by this hotel for 1st night fee of $783.25. I think this is highway robbery and unfair business practice. Not even 24 hours after booking and they flat out refused to reverse the charged amount. This is now being investigated by my credit card company and online hotline mediation.

The resort is beautiful and it has a very cool vibe! The best part, definitely the amazing staff, specially the bartender at wine market, Christian, who went above and beyond to make our stay even more memorable. He is also very talented and gave us great recommendations.

It was one of my most uncomfortable experiences ever. We barely had a sip of the wine and they were trying to take it away. At one point my husband had to take the glass back from the waitress and she stood there expecting him to chug the rest of the wine. The entire experience was a flurry of people constantly at our table taking stuff away and clearing the food before we could even finish. I lost count of the number of servers who were at our table during our very short visit. The pastry was amazing and food was just okay.

We have been dying to try this restaurant whenever we've cruised down to Ensenada, but it's very far up the wine trail and a longer ride then the other wineries for us. I had heard great things about it, and made reservations and we got there. All four of us, were very impressed, the property was well kept with so many different events going on from a marketplace of stores, a gelato shop, another high end restaurant Fauna for dinner and probably a hotel on their property. A good friend of mine had a daughter that got married there and went back and stayed over for their anniversary. I would definitely plan on going back, it was great!

I came to Valle de Guadalupe for my birthday and found this jem. This is the best place where they have the best Conchitas bread I've ever had. Drinks are also delicious. Prices are super affordable for being a high end location spot.. I am definitely returning here, I highly recommend you come and check out

Before entering the winery you are greeted by security asking if you have a reservation. We were allowed inside as they have a wine garden. The back up location was right to the left. it was a very confusing winery as the fauna location is on the other side of the winery. With the rain the roads were rough and bumpy. We ended up with muddy shoes. Now as i've been here i know my bearings and would return to try other menu offerings. Their house chardonnay that's made at their winery was refreshing.

Such a cute spot for brunch! Outdoor seating under a beautiful tree. I love the concept of sitting on one long table, I've never seen that before. The Wagyu appetizer was really good but had a bit too much sesame seeds. The guava French toast was the best French toast I've honestly ever had-fresh pieces of guava!! Service was just not as efficient for which I am removing one star. I had asked them to replace the roti with the omelet with sourdough fresh bread. They brought my omelette and then forgot to bring the sourdough which took forever to come so I had to wait for my omelette to get cold by the time the bread came. Also, omelette was a bit too oily for my liking.

Horrible experience. México clearly uses the phrase Michelin Star loosely and doesn't really understand what that means. We traveled all the way from Napa CA just to be treated like vermin. From the moment we arrived everything was unorganized, caution tape everywhere and construction work happening. The staff was exceptionally disrespectful and unwelcoming, zero eye contact, zero customer service. My partner and I are both in the wine industry and had high hopes for a Mexican winery and wanted to show our support. We both frequent French Laundry, Single Thread, Meadowood and travel all around France, Spain, Italy, etc and expected Bruma to deliver a wonderful experience, instead we were barely greeted, poured a splash of Rose, and charged immediately upon entrance which should have been a red flag... they secure their money and rush you out. Our "guide" made sure to mention that they have a hard time keeping employees, which comes as no surprise. The wine maker and head Chef were giving someone else a tour and didn't even have the courtesy to wave at us... mind you we've met chefs like Charlie Palmer, Thomas Keller, Michael Chiarelo, yet the chef and wine maker at Bruma couldn't humble themselves enough to smile at us or wave after crossing paths multiple times... We have connections and ties with wineries worldwide.... and have never encountered such horrible hospitality or lack there of. We asked to speak with the manager on site Barbara and she was kind enough to pour us a few more wines and give us a complimentary bottle of wine after the traumatic experience, but given the fact that we traveled such a long distance, spent money on flights, hotels, it just didn't make up for the underwhelming experience. I had planned on buying cases of wines and referring our Napa Clientele as well as our friends and family to visit Bruma, we will no longer be doing that. I cannot express how offended and disrespected we all still feel. I would like to propose that Bruma create a proper training program and possibly fly in real professionals from other wine regions to teach them how to operate a winery in order to secure future business, otherwise I see this property failing in less than a decade. We left feeling like Bruma is a parody of what a winery should be. Best of luck. Do not come to this winery, restaurant or resort.

This was my favorite winery vibes wise that I visited in the valle. Our tasting server was incredible and funny when he showed us around. He made us feel very comfortable and we had a great experience. The wines were also solid as well. I think this place is so unique and that's why it really stands out. I will defiantly be including a tasting at Bruma for all my future trips to the valle.

**This review is specifically for Bruma Wine Garden and not the winery** Food: This has to be my favorite place to eat in Valle. All their dishes has such unique and strong flavors. I love their seafood pizza and their grilled veggies. The dough on the pizza is so soft and chewy, which makes me think of my favorite pizza place in Italy. The grilled veggies come with a creamy sauce and handmade flour-like tortillas which are so delicious! Their ceviche is also very tasty and it bursts with flavor. Another must-get item is their oysters, which are the freshest and most flavorful oysters I've had. This place is a must if you're in Valle. Service: Staff is friendly but sometimes slow. Ambiance: They only have outdoor seating so come with a jacket if you're there at night. However, the rustic and farm-to-table theme makes it a unique experience.

we went to Bruma for a wedding. This winery is beautiful but the signage and lighting on the premises are terrible and our guests had difficult time to find their why around at night. The Food was pretty good, so it deserves 2 stars for that. The worst issue we faced was dealing with the manger who was very non responsive and did not care about returning the bride or the wedding planner's calls or resolving any problems. We were a group of about 40 people and She made the reservation process and check-in process an absolute nightmare!!! She also charged one of our guests about a $1000.00 too much and he still has not been able to get them to refund his money after 4 months !!!! I do not recommend any one to have their most important event of their life , such as their wedding there!

Absolutely amazing. The wine tour creatively designed and launch at the Wine Garden restaurant was a perfect way to start my week in the area. I also had the pleasure of visiting Fauna later in the week and it's safe to say Bruma does everything well!

Really liked this restaurant/winery! It's located off the highway, on an off beaten dirt path, but the drive is so worth it! They have plenty of parking on the location. I would say though, the food and bev prices are what you would see at a nice restaurant in LA. We ordered a spinach and bruschetta pizza was was gooey and delicious, we also got their house wines, both red and white. They have a communal type of seating available, so everyone's sitting on a long table essentially, under an olive tree. It's absolutely stunning! They also have a mirror wall behind the bar where you can take selfies with the backdrop of an expansive winery. It was absolutely beautiful. The service was great, the servers all spoke English and Spanish. Lovely and helpful folks. Would definitely recommend adding this to your valle de Guadalupe itinerary!

5 stars every time. This is my favorite breakfast experience all around. The environment, the staff, the service, the coffee, the food...top notch. Do yourself a favor and get the French toast even if you're not a sweet breakfast person. Oh and that Serrano ham...don't let the simplicity of the dish fool you. I dream about this regularly.

Good delicious here! We ate at the long table. Ambiance and vibe is nice. Portions were large and we felt stuffed after the pizza! The ceviche was very good

Great and sophisticated! Even the Kardashians would like this place. Good and wine were spectacular

BEWARE OF THIEVES! BRUMA STOLE $1,126.11 - the deposit for a reservation they could not meet. Apparently the glass door to one of the rooms we reserved at Casa 8 chattered. I get it. Stuff happens. They emailed us and suggested the villa versus Casa 8. We decided to cancel since we wanted to stay at Casa 8; for what the rate is, we want what we want. Since April 2023 I have made every effort to get a refund. I have email after email that they will refund the deposit. It is September 2023, and NOTHING. I am working with my credit card dispute department. I have all the documentation to support my claims. THIEVES! THIEVES! THIEVES! LADRONES! LADRONES! LADRONES!.

This place has a very nice environment, service and food is excellent. I had the beef rib. The meat was like butter. I would recommend you share this plate. My only qualm here is that, we sat outdoors, and the flies were a nuisance. They have to do something about it.

Visited Bruma Wine Garden. Bruma is definitely one of those places you want to see/experience when visiting the Valle and I'm glad we did. The ambience and rustic feel of the place is great. I love the outdoor Look and feel & the overall vibe of the place. We ordered drinks as we soaked the last rays of sunshine. The light lowering slowy through the rugged outdoors. We started off with the ceviche: a mixed of greens, parsley, citrus and perfect fish We felt adventurous and tried their menudo Mac and cheese. The menudo is fried in panko. I didn't find the need for this dish as the menudo taste, texture gets lots in the panko. Why bother? The Mac and cheese itself was just ok. The Bruma "pizza" which is not a pizza, but dough with toppings, was also a disappointment. The bread delicious in itself. We ordered the spinach and burrata, and the spinach simply dominated the dish... Sad. Next, was the short rib and shitake pasta. The presentation was bad. It didn't uplift the dish in any way. The short rib what's good but nothing out of the ordinary the shiitake pasta was an odd edition to the short rib and we ended up not eating it. What saved the day here was definitely the dessert !! we ordered their strawberry tart which was something similar to a cheesecake and also the donut w maple syrup & mascarpone on top it was delicious. All in all there are so many good restaurants in Valle that Bruma wine and garden is towards the bottom of my list.

Gorgeous, gorgeous winery inside and out. My glass of Nebbiolo was delicious. My friends enjoyed their glasses of the experimental house wines as well. The underground cellar was exquisite in terms of ambiance. Be sure to check out the tasting area behind the curtain. The tree definitely takes center show - figuratively and literally - in terms of the design. Would be keen on returning to try more of their wines and learn more about the history.

Rating for Hotel first then Wine Garden later For first time visitor it is very confusing and spread out. The management does not want to put a lot of signs but they are way short at this point. Maybe send a pdf map when you reserve a room. Staff is very nice and helpful but of course outside of the lobby many are very limited in English. Be prepared and considerate. Once you learn your way around after half a day it is OK and you understand the layout. If you are are in Casa Montana, expect to walk a bit. To the lobby it is about .3 miles. To the wine garden it is .6 miles. Mostly flat but a good sun hat is important and it is all rough dirt roads or paths. Trip to a nearby restaurant cost us $120 US cash round trip by a car service arranged by the hotel. If you contact one in Ensenada yourself you can save 25% or so. They will come from there to here and wait while you taste or eat. Note I said cash is needed. USD are ok. Only one local restaurant is in walking distance (1.1 mile). We did not have a car. I would suggest to get a driver to get you to Ensenada, then rent a car for the local area as an option. However note most roads except the main highway are not paved and slow driving. Make sure your GPS knows where you need to go before you leave. That is have someone local or the hotel review your route. Many restaurants are miles off main road and not easy to find. Architecture works to fit into the natural grounds, very nicely done in a rustic theme. Casa Montana review Very nice buildings with common room staffed into the night. They make breakfast and snacks. Honor bar is well stocked. Shower and bathroom is nice but the hot water takes a few minutes to arrive and the shower drain is not well vented , so you hear loud gurgles sometimes from the drain. No smell but noises. Hot tub is in the shared area and next to a soaking pool. Hot tub is good temperature not too hot so you can soak. The pool is maybe 10 feet long with a nice seating setup. No swimming due to small size. The walkways are dirt and it is raked everyday so they look nice. Staff is very nice Wine Garden review. Good food at US prices. We ate here 3 times. We were told the same master chef as Fauna. Do try the octopus and shrimp pizza. Very good. Pita sourdough like crust and great flavor. Maybe 10 to 12 inch size. Other pizza good as well Guacamole plate is great. Every thing we had was great. Good service as well.

Beautiful location on the east side of the Valle. The Wine Garden is surrpunded by shade trees that funnel good vibes to you from every direction. The food and drinks are pricey, we're talking Bidenomics restaurant prices, but you can't compare the scenery and ambiance here to most places back home - It beats anything you can find in Temecula, hands-down. You are surrounded by vineyards, refined design elements and amazing weather (most days). It's worth experiencing at least once. The Valley had many options, but Bruma serves delicious food and great drinks. I received exceptional service on this trip and was very pleased. There is a lot to do in Valle and the options are growing all the time. I would come back to Bruma.

Bruma is a dang good experience in Baja California! Off the beaten path, we celebrated my partner's birthday here. Bruma is built around a 300-year-old oak tree, and in Valle de Guadalupe, there is a belief that old trees are part of the gods and they feed us energy. I have read great things about the food by Chef David Castro Hussong. Bruma's restaurant, Fauna, who David is also the chef of, received #16 on the top 50 restaurants in Latin America. When you enter the grounds of Bruma, security at the gate welcomes you and explains how to get where you are going since this place is huge. You are seated at long picnic family style tables, under these huge olive trees with string lights in an open-air garden. I tried their food and wine pairing. Without being able to reference the menu it's hard for me to remember what exactly I had. I had the ceviche tostadas to start that were amazing. Each plate and pair were truly a feast, most of their ingredients come from two local organic farms and it shows with the fresh textures. Free parking.

Extremely disappointing from the second we walked in the door. The two girls at the front desk were rude and non communicative. Our party of six entered at 1:40pm and I gave them my name. They looked us up and down and said your appointment is at 2:00pm and walked away. We were left looking at each other and didn't know what to do. Very awkward. We finally asked to pay and our designated driver was told he could wait outside unless he paid $300MXN for a tour. A tour? This was not even an option on the price list I was sent nor advertised at their front desk. Absolutely ridiculous! This is no where noted on the policy information I was sent either. Then to make it worse the tasting options that were presented to me when I made the reservation were not available. We are red wine drinkers and of the three tasting options we were given only one option included one red with two whites. That was three wines for $650MXN. I would have walked out right then but their cancelation policy states if you cancel your appointment after the allowed 48 hours prior to the event you are charged 35%. Once we paid we were sent upstairs to an extremely hot room to wait for 15 minutes. Once our tour guide, Carlos, arrived we were directed down stairs where he never introduced himself (we had to ask his name), never asked about our wine experience, never said a word about the winery or any history. He mentioned a few sentences about the first wine, poured it and then directed us to follow him down in to the cellar. As we took the short walk he spoke briefly about the art work in the hall, stopped for a minute or two so we could see at a stainless steel tank, explained the tree in the center and architecture of the building. All of that was maybe 10 minutes. He never attempted to ask anything about us, our tastes and never asked how we liked the wine. Once in the cellar we tasted the other two wines. These tastings we very weak pours compared to every other tasting we did this week. Definitely not the standard two ounce tasting our. For the price we paid they could have been a little more substantial. The tasting and "tour" was slotted to be approximately one hour. We were in and out in less than 30 minutes. Herded in and out like cattle. While the grounds are beautiful the service, the staff, the tastings and the wine are extremely overpriced and over Instagrammed. I suggest seeking out the smaller boutique wineries.

First resturant for me in Mexico! and I loved it! Wine was ok, but food and atmosphere was great. Main course portion is huge and good for sharing. Friendly staff. Would like to try another place next time.

Si si y si! Muy exelente experencia! El vinicolo fue hermoso. Tambien el Restaurante. Me encanto todo! Regreso en Septiembre jajaja!

The winery grounds are nice, pool area, and gym at casa 8 are decent. The rooms feel a little claustrophobic. Beware if you do not know any Spanish. Only a few people on the property that we came across speak English. Overall it's severely lacking in service and hospitality. There are much better places for the price you will pay.

Wow. What a beautiful vineyard and winery just a little drive south of San Diego. Immediately upon driving up, the staff were warm and welcoming, and eager to help us. To get to the restaurant, you must drive past some vineyards, and to get to the tasting room and hotels you must pass further. Regardless, it is a scenic drive through Bruma. Originally we wanted to do a wine tasting but got mixed up with the restaurant, although I can't complain because we ended up doing a tasting with food pairings. We tried three wines and their version of an espresso martini with tequila, as well as seven plates. Amongst the seven plates were: a spicy chimichurri salad (delicious, and possibly my favorite), ceviche chips, raw plate made of oysters and clam (I think?), a truffle roast and spaghetti plate, thick cut bacon and toast with sunny side up egg in a creamy garlic-y sauce (their version of a Croque Madame), a smoked pork pizza, and lastly, a strawberry shortcake. A bit pricey but worth every penny! To note: make a reservation beforehand because a wine tasting requires it and we didn't know, but luckily they were accommodating and invited us to dine with them.

Before heading out to Valle, I was recommended to visit Bruma/Fauna. Needless to say it did not disappoint. I did make a reservation via email about three-four days prior. I just had to confirm my name and number. Upon arriving you are greeted by security, and asked if you have a reservation. Before heading to the winery itself, you see their preserved tree branches artwork. As soon as you head inside, you confirm your reservation and are asked for your choice of wine flights. They do vary in prices anywhere from $400-$600 pesos. Our tour guide was amazing. She is also a local language teacher on the side, and gave our tour in English. Everything in the winery itself has meaning, and the wine was 10/10. We unfortunately didn't stay to eat at Fauna, but next trip I'll make sure to come to Bruma again and try their restaurant.

The grounds are beautiful and expansive but the larger commercial wineries can feel so impersonal. We did a tasting tour with our group and our guide seemed like he hated his job. Give me someone who loves not just wine, but explaining the process, the history, and at least have them like other human beings. Wine was also on the pricier side for the Valle and was just OK. Maybe go here for the photo op but otherwise skip it.

Bruma is a very unique place...the wine is amazing and sipping while browsing through the beautiful artwork was really special. The petrified tree adds such character to the atmosphere! I loved everything about it and will definitely return

Hevaclio was a wonderful host and very descriptive of the wines and Brumas history. 100% recommendation to come back again and experience vinícola Bruma. Hevaclio did an amazing job in making us feel welcome and very appreciative of his support and discriptions of the fine wines. We can't wait to come back and bring some friends.

This winery and restaurant was gorgeous! We are in the outside garden and it was magical. What a fun gastronomical experience! I came with a group of 5 and we did the chefs brunch tasting menu. It was SO good! It was a 5 course meal and for $20 more each course comes with wine so for $80 pp (Sept 2021) it was a no brainer. Oysters, croque monseur, whitefish crudo, ceviche, breakfast pizza, steak, salad and desserts, oh my goodness. Everything was delicious, perfectly cooked, creatively seasoned. The wines were bright and perfect for brunch. This was a super long trek from Las Gaviotas but it was a fantastic culinary experience that we won't forget. I wish I stopped eating to take more photos of the food. I only got a pic of the first wine and the last dessert. Haha!

When it comes to unique beauty Bruma takes the cake! Wine was great. Amazing service to top it off!

Horrible service! Not recommended. Please do not waste your time here. We got here within the grace period and they would not accept us. Our deposit was not honored and they turned us away.

Came here after a friend recommended it. Loved the place! Unfortunately we didn't have a reservation for Bruma or Fauna but could eat at the "Wine Garden" which is another restaurant they have. Reservations weren't needed. Loved most of the staff! Everyone was really kind and accommodating. It looks beautiful so we'd definitely give it a try soon (wit and will update the review.

We have been wanting to come winetasting here for awhile, and finally had the chance -- reservations required, and you need to show up right on time; you get a little guided tour, then tasting. The setting and architecture of the winery itself is really stunning, and there is some very unique artwork inside, as well. Our tour guide, Heraelio, was very good, and we got to do our tasting in the cool barrel room, which was a welcome respite from the 95 degree heat outside. It was the most expensive of the 3 tastings we did in the Valle - $30 for 3 tastes (Premium), but it was worth it for the experience. We tried the '20 Ocho Blanco (a Carignan), the '20 Ocho Rose (100% Sangiovese), which were both very good, but our favorite was the Plan B - a blend of Granache, Mouvedre, Malbec, Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon. While you're out here, definitely try to get a reservation (in advance) for Fauna or Bruma Wine Gardens, too, and enjoy some of their wine with a wonderful meal.

This review is for the wine garden. After trying to find a way to make a reservation for the wine tasting I gave up and booked a reservation for the wine garden on open table. I am so thankful I did. The wine garden is a hidden gem and the food is outstanding. It was honestly my favorite place in the Valle. The tomatoes and celery were super flavorful and refreshing. We also ordered roasted veggies with this Smokey chili paste that our server recommended. I am now obsessed with ugh this paste. This place and our server Melannie (who was the sweetest). We didn't eat much before we had a reso at fauna (their main restaurant) but we should have stayed here. We sat in the shade under a tree and overlooked the vineyard. Can you talk about perfect? Fauna was meh (I'm vegan and my BF is not- he loved the ceviche). The views are better in the garden.

Such a vibe. I'm so glad we stopped here on our way back to the states. It's a MUST!!! The food has all been amazing, the mimosas, delish! The fish pasta, chicken and waffles, scallop tostada... pristine! And let's not talk about the view... The restaurant sits under groups of trees that provide the perfect amount of shade and sun. You have options of sitting at high tops or low tables. We chose the high top since they're closer to the view on the land. The waitresses are all very kind and though I'm English speaking, some of the witnesses were able to communicate with me just fine. We didn't make a reservation, we just showed up around 12:30pm on a Monday and they were able to sit it. I highly recommend you stop here. The mirror on the container heading to the restrooms was a plus! So fun!

Visited Bruma Wine Garden 4.1.2023. We discovered Fauna and Bruma Wine Garden are 2 separate dining options on the same grounds. This helps for planning next time. We had appetizers, cheese plate, and wine tasting flight. The cheese plate came up short, fruit was bruised, and no deli meats or nuts. The Sangria "Tinta" was amazing. I'd stick to a per glass serving rather than a flight. Servings were small. For 4, no more than half the bottle was used. The white chardonnay caba 2 house Wine was lovely. The service was top notch. Sitting under the olive trees on a community table was beautiful. We took advantage of having a desert drink by the fire pit near the lounge sofás facing the vineyard. It wasn't busy, this contributed to a laid back non rushed experience. Diners around us all seemed to enjoy their entrees and salads.

Yes yes yes, this place is wonderful. Well at least on my visit it was. Heads up RESERVATIONS is a requirement. The ambience and service was just perfect. I ended buying a few bottle of wine. The wine tour and presentation was outstanding which provided us with the information to fully enjoy a quality wine. Did not have the time to enjoy the food but I guess that will be for another adventure

We headed to Bruma for wine tasting. They have a beautiful winery. You have to head up past the tree and man-made lake and go back downstairs. When we got there, we went in and paid, and they told us it be about a 10 minute wait before they brought us in. I think it was around $16 for the tasting, but it includes a tour of the facilities and came with 3 tastings. We def waited more then 10 min, in which larger groups came by after us, so now it felt over crowded. For the tour, we felt a bit rushed going through the different sections due to us avoiding the large crowd that came in after us. The facilities and surroundings were aesthetically pleasing to the eye and everyone enjoyed their reds. I wish we didn't feel rushed on the tour. Afterwards, you exit into a bar area. We all ordered cocktails and everyone loved the drinks there. Will need to try their restaurant next time!

We enjoyed an excellent tour with our host Carlos. He provided a great overview of the history of the facility, clearly had a passion for their work, and adjusted the tour around our questions and interests. Must do and would recommend pairing with lunch or dinner at Fauna (also excellent) if visiting Valle

The location is stunning and the food was amazing. The wines surprised me how good they are. Highly recommend

We had an excellent wine tour, followed by a 6 course gourmet meal at Bruma last night. The cellar & tasting tour was the best of 6 we did yesterday. The architecture & design of Bruma (translates to mist) is fascinating & unique. They have many barrels in the subterranean cellar which is temp/humidity controlled. A couple of private rooms if you want to reserve them are tucked away as well. The dinner experience was very special. Outdoors amongst cactus, boulders & stars. Food was all locally sourced, delicious & healthy. Service was excellent, despite a bit of a language barrier. Don't be in a hurry, it's fine dining, we sat for about 2 hours white wine sippin & enjoying the food & scene. Wonderful for sure.

This place is weird at best. We have tried several times over seval different trips to Valle to try this place. We are always met with a locked gate. Today when we tried there once again a locked gate with a security guard. We were told a reservation was neccesary which is fine.. so we said we want a a reservation. He gave us a phone number that didnt work. And he cant make a reservation. We call the number on yelp. That doesnt work. Number on their website doesnt work. They need to get it together Update: we were able to get a reservation by having someone that works at another winery call a friend of his that happens to work here and make the reservation. The person that helped us get the reservation was also unable to get through on their posted phone number. We made a reservation and were able to check it out the next day. The winery is beautiful and worth going to. The design is pretty much breathtaking. The restaurant fauna is located at this property. Probably easier to book at fauna through open table and head next door to bruma for a reservation. We told the counter person at Bruma about our difficulties getting a reservation and she said they mostly use the whatsapp app to make appts. That wasnt posted anywhere on their website so if you dont know to do that, you will have a hard time. That said.. the place was pretty much empty on a weekend afternoon when it probably should / could have been busy. I bumped up my stars cause its gorgeous inside but took one star off cause its so hard to get a damn reservation to go inside

Best place to stay in Valle! Great wine, staff, rooms and food. Highly recommend visiting this beautiful hotel.

Ambiance, food and service were great! The first time i came I was greeted by the manger who explained the menu And provided recommendations. The food was fresh 10/10

The place is beautiful, very rustic and pretty but not accessible for handicapped, my son couldn't use the bathroom, and we couldn't go try the diferente wines because they have a very steep hill covered with rocks and its not practical for anybody to clime. Food wise extremely gourmet small portions and expensive, takes the fun out of going to try different places. They want you to order 4 or 6 courses and they don't have small bites.

Food was delicious. Service was on point. Ambiance was fun, relaxing and chill. We were a group of 6 men m, hungry and thirsty but not for long-- I lost count, but I think it was around 14 plates they served us. The broccoli was surprisingly one of my favorites.

Bruma is a combination winery/hotel/restaurant on a beautiful, sprawling property. There seem to be several of these spread across Valle de Guadalupe, many of them brand new, built to accommodate the growing number of tourists visiting Mexican wine country from across the border. We looked into staying at Bruma, but it was booked up by the time we got around to planning our trip. It would've been nice to stay here, with so much to do without leaving the property (God it takes forever to get from place to place in Valle if you're not willing to drive drunk). We spent a full afternoon here instead, getting lunch at Fauna and hitting the wine room for a tasting. The place was gorgeous, with scenic views in every direction--mountains and vineyard greenery, miles of clean blue sky. Bruma felt like it was carved into the natural landscape, all on its own, an isolated place that just happens to be modern and artfully designed. There was an enormous dead tree at the heart of the winery, its trunk underground in the tasting area, its long grasping branches serving as statuary above ground, surrounded by a pool of water. We were encouraged to take pictures by the tree, which made for a dramatic backdrop. Lunch at Fauna was excellent (I wrote that up in a separate review), and I really enjoyed the wine tasting, which was the only actual wine tasting we did in Valle (we went to a few places with wine, but they felt more like bars with views than wineries). We were able to walk in, and after a short wait, we joined with some other American visitors and got a tour. Our guide was a friendly, knowledgeable man named Luis. He gave us the rundown on Bruma's vineyard--I guess they've only been making wines for a year--and showed us where everything happened (tanks, barrels, you know how it goes). The best part was the huge room with the dead tree. It was beautiful and kind of eerie, like I could see a murder happening here in an artsy movie. Bruma only makes a few wines, and we got to try three of them--the Chenin Blanc, the Plan B (a cabernet), and the Reserva (a blend of tempranillo, cab, and merlot). I liked all of them, but the Reserva was particularly delicious. We meant to buy some on our way out, but didn't see a place where they were selling their wine. Either they don't do retail or they do a terrible job hustling customers toward the gift shop. We had a lovely time at Bruma. I'd definitely come back on another trip, and would consider staying on the property. It seems to offer the best of Valle--great food and wine and spectacular views.

We sat outdoors, very nice set up food was amazing, it's a community sitting type you get to share the table with other people but didn't feel weird was different for me but not awkward.
