Farm and fire cooking: the cuisine of Valle de Guadalupe

The cuisine of Valle de Guadalupe has a signature of its own: farm-and-fire cooking, where the grill, the wood fire and local produce take centre stage.

What is farm-and-fire cooking?

Fewer frills, more earth and embers.

It is an honest, seasonal cuisine: fresh regional ingredients cooked over fire, with respect for their original flavour.

From garden and sea to the table

In the Valley, the flavours of the land meet those of nearby Baja California's sea: seasonal vegetables, fire-grilled meats and fresh seafood from the Ensenada coast.

At Salvia Blanca, Contemplación's restaurant, those local flavours are cooked over fire with produce from its own garden and paired with house wines, facing the vineyard.
