Found just an hour and a half south of San Diego is one of the wine world's most hidden gems: Valle de Guadalupe.

An up-and-coming region in Baja California, Mexico, Valle de Guadalupe has been catching global attention for its wineries, culinary explorations and eye-popping lodgings.

In this video, TPG's Marc Ramos and food and wine concierge Lorena Woods journey to Valle de Guadalupe to uncover the secrets behind its recent acclaim.

Together, they dive deep with local wine and mezcal experts to pair various beverages with Baja's celebrated cuisine and give you a peek inside El Cielo— a lavish resort and winery in the heart of the valley surrounded by glorious mountain ranges, tranquil reservoirs and a landscape of clay-rich soil that helps provide the winery with its diverse range of varietals.

Tune in to see Marc and Lorena uncover the wonders of Mexico's hidden wine country.
