**** No food in this one; just two wineries, and where we stayed in Valle
After a very satisfying lunch at El Guero we headed down the 10, then back up the 3 toward our accommodation. When chatting with Aimee, I mentioned that we really wanted to relax and enjoy and not do too many wineries and that the Missus was partial to whites.
The first stop was a charming and tiny little tasting room for Vinicola Retorno.
The young man working was an absolute joy; so welcoming and friendly.
He was so gracious and generous with our tasting and perhaps it's because there were no other customers on this day…he took us on a tour of the production facility in this tiny winery.
He even scaled the barrels to give us tastes of different vintages…..
The Missus really enjoyed the two whites using Chenin Blanc type grapes. Because this was our first stop, we didn't buy any bottles….but as luck would have it; we'd end up returning the following day.
Definitely the Missus's favorite stop.

Our next stop before checking into our accommodations was in total contrast to Retorno. While our previous stop was quaint, tiny, and rustic, Vinícola Emevé was quite modern.
We did enjoy the view and the staff was also quite friendly as well.
We had a tasting of four different wines from Emevé, but the what stays in our memory is being able to walk along the lovely vineyards.
Escorted by this wonderful pooch!
I can see how experiencing moments like this can bring you "closer" to the wine you are imbibing……

Soon enough it was time to head on over to our accommodation. I had booked our stay at Contemplación Hotel Boutique mainly because of the lovely setting; it also had villas, which seemed just the perfect place to relax.
There's a restaurant onsite which included breakfast daily. And the villas were large and comfortable.
We loved the view of the vineyards right out our window.
We'd enjoy walking the grounds a bit later on during our stay.
For now…well, we needed a short break before heading out to dinner!
Thanks for stopping by!
We stayed at Contemplacion around Xmas time. Glad you had a nice time.
Beautiful and helpful. The roses can be an early warning system for diseases that would affect the grapes.
We really enjoyed staying at Contemplacion RD!
That’s really great info Jessica! Valle was quite enjoyable!
