![]() This is an interesting restaurant, with a great ocean view and roosters walking around the tables, in which we enjoyed our lunches and drinks. On Saturday, after being picked up by Antonio in his van, we drove about 35 miles to Gary's La Fonda restaurant on highway 1D, about 3.3 miles south of Campo Lopez. Our plan was to visit three wineries and two restaurants (lunch & dinner) on Saturday and three wineries and two restaurants (breakfast and lunch) on Sunday. Their email address is and Antonio's cell phone is 011-52-1-64. He charged us $70 USD per couple per day, but we paid him $80 USD per couple per day to include tip, so at the end of our trip we six paid him $80 USD X 3 couples X 2 days = $480. Antonio ferried us around from Saturday morning until Sunday late afternoon when he dropped us off at PedWest. We found this couple through common friends/acquaintances, and were extremely satisfied with their services. They have started a small Guadalupe Valley tour company with at least two new, very nice vans that we road in one just right for the six of us, and a second much larger. The driver, Antonio Hernandez, and his wife, Rosa, live in Guadalupe Valley. Here we met up with our Mexican driver and his van. We then walked across the border thru PedWest, stopping at Mexican Immigration/Customs Center building to fill out visa forms (we all have Passport cards plus Global Entry cards), then arriving, about 9:30am at a plaza where taxis await passengers. We left San Diego about 8:30am in an Uber XL for the border, arriving at PedWest (directly across the street from Outlets at the Border) about 9:00am. The three husbands are partners in home winemaking, so we selected wineries whose wines were highly rated rather than wineries that were highly rated for their facilities, views or food. We planned the trip's itinerary ourselves by researching wineries, wines, restaurants, Airbnb's and routes on the internet. ![]() The following is a brief overview, with some details, of a two-day, weekend trip in May 2019 of six wine-loving adults from San Diego to Guadalupe Valley for winetasting.
