Fantastic tour! Our guide, Emmanuel, was beyond stellar. He is so knowledgeable not just about wine, but also the many, many vineyards in Valle de Guadalupe. He took us to a few that are not on the tourist route. At each we were welcomed warmly and provided with spectacular and personal tastings. I highly recommend that if you are considering a trip to Valle de Guadalupe that you book a Valle Wine Life tour.

Not only was the driver an absolute sweetheart, he was also played the role of photographer and was willing to take any and all photos. We booked a full day tour and visited 5 wineries. Each one had a great selection of wines. Dave took care of it all, I loved how we could just walk right in and get served.

Absolutely unbelievable experience! This was our first trip to Ensenada so we were pretty unfamiliar with the Valle and which wineries to pick (so many to choose from). David truly went above and beyond to customize a wine tour experience for us based off what my wife and I were looking for (unique wineries, great photo spots, awesome views). Our driver for the day was Carlos who we absolutely loved. He was super friendly & knowledgeable of the wineries and history of Ensenada & the Valle.
We had an amazing time and will definitely be using Valle Wine Life on our next visit! 10/10!

Unfortunately, David Andrew Boggs (Owner of Valle Wine Life) is dishonest. My group of friends secured his shuttle services for August 28, 2021. Two people in the group cancelled in advanced and he agreed to refund the money for the two, he said he would get back with us. A couple of us tried to reach him several times. He finally responded on August 18, 2021, “When I return to Valle I will process your refund. It will need to be sent to the US first via wire and then returned in the same manner. I will have to go to the bank physically for this. I will send it through another partner in the US who can then send it to you via Zelle. I will communicate with you later today about the timing for this.”
It’s now September 2, 2021 and he never cancelled with any of us, showed up with the shuttle on August 28, 2021 or processed the refund.
He required full payment for everyone in advance which equaled $1,850.00/USD for a group of 10 adults. We have not received a refund or confirmation on how that money will be refunded.
David Andrew Boggs or Yessina Pena (she processes his payments) if you are reading this, your group from August 28, 2021 is asking for our money back immediately.
If you are considering Valle Wine Life, save yourself the headache of losing your money. If anyone has any questions, I will be happy to answer in the comments below.

Scheduled a group trip on February 21 for May 30. Canceled the tour on March 16 (cancellation policy states full refund within 14 days). This company refuses to refund my full payment of nearly $2300. I have written confirmations of my cancellation and their response saying "we will refund". They do not answer the phone when I call. It has been clearly robbery. Stay away from Valle Wine Life!

Joanne, sadly you have not given an accurate account of what transpired. All of our tours are booked through a third-party booking platform. You contacted us and asked to cancel your upcoming tour due to the coronavirus pandemic. We agreed that you were within the cancellation window. We immediately contacted our booking platform and requested that they issue you a refund.
You took the additional step of disputing this charge with your credit card company and as a result the funds were taken from us and held in escrow until the dispute was resolved. Again, we advised our booking platform that you were entitled to a refund. Contact with our booking platform indicates that the funds were credited in full back to your credit card.
It was your choice to dispute the charge with your credit card company. As a result you must follow your credit card issuers timeline as it is out of our control once the funds have been taken from our account. We are sorry for your frustration but you have been refunded in full despite your claim to the contrary.

This is a scam!!
We had a trip planned for august 7th for David to take us and 13 guest to a wedding in valle. A few hours before the trip David reached out and let us know he had to cancel because the driver had covid. At the time we were very understanding. David reluctantly helped us find new rides but told us we would have to pay the drivers cash and he would reimburse our original payment on the following Monday. We have not heard from David since and have not been refunded. We have called and get no answer. We have now have resorted in getting our bank involved.
David is highly unprofessional and at this point I am left to believe he is a scam artist. There are plenty of other professional transportation services in valle that provide outstanding service, DO NOT USE THIS ONE.

I have nothing but great things to say about my experience. I had never been to the area so did not know what or where to go but I had a few things in mind. I was able to give enough input into what I wanted to do while at the same time all the help I needed in making reservations and knowing what sequence of places made sense. I basically had to do nothing for a perfect day to be planned. We even had access to an exclusive area in the Frida winery and I think that's what everyone loved most. Great driver, great service. The whole group I went with was very satisfied. Already recommending to everyone i know!

David provided us with everything we could possibly need for our Ensenada wine tour. Planning the day was a breeze and communication was SO easy. I never felt rushed during our tastings. Lunch at King and Queen Cantina was so DELICIOUS. David dropped us off at our hotel after the tour and helped us with dinner reservations for that night. It was such a joy tasting with him. I would absolutely recommend this tour!!

Hello, Are you available to take 2 of us on a wine tour arriving in Ensenada via Carnival Inspiration on 5/13. If you could provide some information on what we can expect and the cost that would be much appreciated. We would also love to go to the cheese shop that so many have mentioned.
Thank you!

Dwayne, it depends on what cruise line you are on. Carnival has different times than Princess. Wineries are generally open from 11:00 to 5:00. We usually pick guests up at 10:30 and return them to the port around 4:00 PM. Thanks
