Filming in Valle de Guadalupe, Mexico was on my to-do list for a long time, so you could imagine how excited I was when Josh reached out to help make that dream a reality! As a tour guide he knows all the ins and outs of the Valle and Ensenada, from world class restaurants, amazing bottles of Nebbiolo, to some of the best roadside fish tacos you'll ever have! Of course there were some hard days along the way but it's nothing a bottle of Côte Rôtie couldn't fix! Come along with Josh and I as we talk behind the scenes of filming and remember why the Valle and Ensenada are so special!

LOCATIONS

DOWNTOWN BORDEAUX

The great thing about the city of Bordeaux is that it acts as a central hub for the wine region. The trains go in and out of the city, there are plenty of hotels and restaurants and things to do, and there are literally wineries in every direction!

I can't recommend booking a Bordeaux boat tour with Bordeaux Sur L'Eau enough! Seeing Bordeaux from the water is an amazing experience, and they do a great job providing food, wine, and music. Once the lights go down, the city skyline and bridges are magical to see from the water!
