Based at 4617 Bayard St in San Diego, CA 92109, Baja Vino is a boutique tour agency specializing in all-inclusive wine excursions from San Diego and Northern Baja to Mexico's Valle de Guadalupe. Guide Josh Bond founded the company after falling in love with Baja's wine country, and his personal relationships with winery owners and chefs throughout the region translate into VIP access that larger bus tours simply cannot replicate. Baja Vino has been offering tours to the Valle de Guadalupe since 2003, long before the region became a mainstream destination. Every tour includes round-trip transportation, a personal guide, tastings at three of Baja's premier wineries, and a gourmet lunch prepared by a top regional chef. Firehouse American Eatery & Lounge near the Pacific Beach meeting point serves as a convenient pre-departure breakfast spot for early risers. Josh is intimately familiar with more than half of the valley's 140-plus wineries, allowing him to rotate stops based on seasonal events, harvest schedules, and each group's palate preferences. Reviewers on TripAdvisor consistently award the company five stars, highlighting Josh's encyclopedic knowledge of the area and his knack for uncovering hidden gems like newly opened roadside restaurants and small family-owned vineyards. The company offers weekly group tours on Saturdays and daily custom private excursions, with border-crossing logistics handled entirely by the Baja Vino team — including a fast pass that significantly reduces the return wait at the U.S. border. Wine lovers returning from a full day in the valley sometimes cap the night with craft cocktails at Slowly Restaurant and Lounge on Cass Street. Private tours can be arranged any day of the week for as few as two guests, making Baja Vino a popular choice for anniversary trips, bachelorette parties, and corporate outings.
