Join us for four days and three nights on a Spanish immersion weekend 80 miles south of the border at El Valle de Guadalupe, a.k.a Mexico’s Napa. There are over 100 vineyards scattered between the hills of Ensenada and Tecate. Some say El Valle it’s the birthplace of the Baja med culinary movement. On this one, we will have morning classes on all three days during our stay and activities planned for the afternoon. For the classes, we will have two separate groups.
