Soulful Paradise

One of the coolest things about living in Southern California is being so close to many a great mountain, desert, and beach hideaways. For a weekend getaway, I was invited to travel just a few hours south of LA to a little utopia called La Villa del Valle. This bed and breakfast winery is located in the hills of Ensenada, Baja Mexico. After uprooting their Hollywood lifestyle to build this goldmine château in what is now the Napa Valley of Mexico, owners Eileen and Phil Gregory planted grapes vines in this magnificent and charming hideout.
In a mere four years the property has expanded beyond the fruitful vineyards. While basking in the sun you are surrounded by vineyards, olive trees, and organic vegetable garden. They even make their own homemade granola. There is also plenty to explore in this boasting little valle. As the word gets around and more people catch wind of this “great escape”, they too will be packing up shop and heading for the border. http://www.lavilladelvalle.com
