Your VIP Wine Adventure Awaits in Valle de Guadalupe!

Let’s address the elephant in the room (or perhaps the toddler in the backseat). You love wine. You’ve heard incredible things about the Baja wine region. But you have kids.
The common assumption is that “wine country” and “children” go together like oil and water. You’re probably asking yourself: “Is Valle de Guadalupe kid friendly?” Will I get dirty looks if my child laughs too loud during a tasting? Is it safe?
We are here to tell you: YES. Definitely.
Unlike more stuffy, formal wine regions elsewhere, Valle de Guadalupe is rustic, outdoorsy, and incredibly welcoming to families. It’s all about farm-to-table living, wide-open spaces, and dirt roads. It is the perfect place for kids to run around while mom and dad enjoy a world-class Nebbiolo.
However, the key to a successful “Valle de Guadalupe family trip” is knowing where to go and how to get there. Trying to navigate rocky dirt roads with Google Maps while the kids are screaming in the back is not a vacation.
That is where Red Wine Tours in Baja steps in. We specialize in crafting the perfect day for everyone. We are the premier family-friendly wine tour agency in Baja. We handle the driving and the logistics, ensuring you visit the spots that welcome your whole crew—all for our unbeatable rate of just $99 per person.
Here is how to have an amazing, stress-free family day in the Valle.
When looking for “wineries with playgrounds in Valle de Guadalupe” or just room to run, you want places that aren’t precious about their grass. You want farms, animals, and relaxed vibes.
Here are a few of our favorite stops that parents and kids both love:
Okay, Finca Altozano is technically a world-famous restaurant by Chef Javier Plascencia, not just a winery, but it is arguably the best family activity stop in Valle de Guadalupe.
Why? Because it’s basically a gourmet farm. The property is massive. While parents enjoy incredible food and local wine at the open-air restaurant or the more casual “Lupe” torta truck, kids are in heaven. There are usually friendly resident dogs, sometimes goats and pigs in pens, and giant old wine barrels scattered around that are perfect for climbing. It’s loud, it’s outdoors, and nobody cares if your kids are running around in the dirt.
If you need a break from the vineyards to burn off some serious kid energy, this is a must-stop. Located right in the heart of the wine route, this is a working dairy farm that opens its doors to families.
It is essentially a fantastic petting zoo. Your kids can buy bags of food to feed the cows, sheep, and goats. It’s an authentic, dusty, happy experience that is one of the top “things to do with kids in Valle de Guadalupe.” Plus, they sell amazing local cheese and ice cream on-site!
If you want a slightly more upscale winery feel that still accommodates children, El Cielo is a great bet. It is a large, beautiful resort and winery operation.
What makes it family-friendly are the expansive, manicured lawns. It feels very safe and contained. You can grab a glass of wine on the terrace while the kids do cartwheels on the grass nearby. It’s visually stunning for the adults and freeing for the little ones.
We’ve led hundreds of tours, and we’ve learned a few things about keeping the peace on a family wine day.
Tip 1: Don’t Overbook. Don’t try to hit 5 wineries. It won’t be fun for anyone. With kids, aim for two great winery stops and perhaps one focused activity stop (like the Jersey Dairy mentioned above). Quality over quantity is key.
Tip 2: Pack the “Go-Bag.” While many spots are kid-friendly, they aren’t daycares. Bring your own entertainment—coloring books, tablets, and plenty of snacks. Not every winery offers kid-appropriate food, so come prepared.
Tip 3: Do Not Drive Yourself. We cannot stress this enough. If you want to enjoy the wine, you need a designated driver. Furthermore, navigating the Valle roads requires full attention. Don’t add parental stress to driving stress.
You want to create memories, taste incredible wine, and let your kids experience the beauty of Baja. You do not want to worry about directions, safety, or finding parking on a dirt hill.
Let Red Wine Tours in Baja handle it. We know exactly which wineries welcome families with open arms. We provide safe, comfortable transportation from the border or your hotel, allowing you to actually relax and enjoy the day with your children.
THE BEST DEAL IN BAJA: We are currently offering our premium, customizable tours for only $99 per person.
It’s time to get that family photo in the vineyards.
I wanted to do a wine tour from San Diego to Valle for my birthday and I decided to go with Lupita for our group of 10! What sets this... read more apart from other tours is that Lupita helps with coordinating the itinerary and bookings! I really appreciated having the extra help with that as it's my first time going there. Every spot was top notch, my friends were impressed by every place.

She was extremely sweet and took super great pics. Despite the language barrier, she was super proactive and tried to point out some cool things as we were driving. She was also super proactive and would take photos for us on her own!
