Diego-Hernandez Restaurante

Fine dining finally at Valle de Guadalupe! what sets Diego Hernandez restaurant apart from all others in Valle, is the fine dining experience. The restaurant has all the amenities of a fine dining restaurant without losing the Valle feeling, surrounded by beautiful vineyards the views are majestic, sunset time is breathtaking, Instagram worthy! Ambience is sophisticated, but very welcoming, staff is extremely attentive and friendly. Definitely a high-end place well-worth the money. Diego's cuisine is innovative and delicious with high quality ingredients, it's a gourmet experience. The presentation of the dishes is impeccable and beautiful (Instagram worthy content). I don't drink alcohol but the mocktails were delicious and beautifully presented, you don't need to be a wine lover to truly enjoy the experience, there is so much more than just wine in Valle. Valle is one of those places where you disconnect from hectic life and reconnect with nature and oneself.

An amazing restaurant, if you’re into food, this is a must if you’re in the area. Food, venue, cocktails, service, all were excellent. Definitely recommend, served by the must knowledge and kindest people. The best salmon I’ve had in a while. So much flavor.

It was a surprise that our dinner reservation was on the 2nd official evening of opening to the public. This after a couple weeks of trial menus. The Museo del Vinicula houses the restaurant with a panoramic view of the Valle de Guadalupe. The well designed interior compliments the multiple course offerings. George graciously and capably accommodated non-alcohol pairing with the courses. The service was good, but overshadowed by the imagination of Diego Hernandez excellent menu preparations. Each course was a unique surprise. The serving sizes were just right. Cost pp was between $ 100-200 USD. Next time, we will bring a party enough to enjoy the ‘Chef’s Table, if we can wait that long for a reservation. Can not wait for a second visit. Thank you Diego, Family & Staff

Diego is already well-known for creating impeccable experiences and unforgettable dishes, but I was excited to hear he'd opened a new restaurant that was entirely himself. The inspiration for the aesthetic, I'm told, came from the white linen establishments he'd frequented as a child...places that he considered to be of the highest echelon in dining, and ultimately what drove him to become a chef. And years of creating and learning in different kitchens, which varied from luxury to after-hours haunts, show in the cooking itself. The tasting menu is refreshed daily, with Diego masterminding every new dish and executing each with an elite staff in the open kitchen. Speaking of, the entire team on the floor also offers a well-rounded experience to guests, attending to their every need attentively and with a natural informality that makes you feel at home rather than somewhere stuffy, uptight, which can generally be associated with this sort of quality. Lastly, I've learned that every one of those plates served at your meal has a backstory which Diego imagined up not as much for the guest to hear but to experience through every sense: tasting, seeing, smelling, feeling, and, at times, hearing. Perhaps I'm biased because he is a friend (of many, not just mine). But had we not been acquainted, I would no doubt feel the same about my dinner. From flash-fried beet & greens to "chocolate" clams drenched in cheese to an ice cream tart draped in a strawberry gelatin sheet covered in edible flowers. All paired well with wines selected by their sommelier. Well done. Looking forward to another opportunity to travel through the Valle and eat at DH Restaurant.

Dining at DH Restaurant was a delightful experience from start to finish. We enjoy everything about our visit, the dishes were beautifully presented, the staff attentive and the ambiance was perfect (we where sitting at the chef’s counter witch was a plus). This restaurant is a MUST if you plan to visit Valle de Guadalupe.

An absolutely wonderful experience. My wife and I have been visiting Valle de Guadalupe for 21 years and this ranks among the best meals we’ve ever had in El Valle. We dined at the chef’s table and I would highly recommend it. More so than “precision”, the professional staff of the kitchen operated gracefully. The sequencing and timing of our courses was perfect. Brian was an amazing guide throughout the experience, and his wine recommendations were particularly spot on. Ingredients were beyond fresh, visually stunning, and immensely flavorful. This operation is slightly under the radar as compared to some other destinations in the valley, but won’t be for long. It’s quite possible that this will become the premier dining location in the valley.

What a breath of fresh air to witness the triumphent return of this titan of a chef to The Valle. His newest iteration, Diego-hernandez meets if not exceeds the storied Corazon de Tierra. We thouroughly enjoyed our experience. The dishes were ingeniously created in a manner to satisfy yet amaze with artistic brilliance. Service was executed flawlessly with graciousness and professionalism. Located in the Museo De Vinos, the interior boasts rugged stone walls as magnificent vistas spill out onto the verdant vinyards. I can not wait for a return visit. Bravo Chef.

Elegantly prepared food with amazing wine and polished service. We had a lovely evening at the chefs table. Beautifully balanced food with local flavors.
