Vena Cava - Winery no.1
Vena Cava winery is actually housed under old wooden boats.
We bought a delightful Savignon Blanc for about $20 and a fancy Cabernet for about $30 - save-zies!

The patio at Vena Cava/Troika Food Truck. Partially surrounded by a faux lagoon/pond. I say there were swans, Aaron says there were ducks. Whatever. |

Wine tasting was great, then we ate the best ceviche ever out of the food truck/kitchen called Troika. The bartender put on music and the song was Susi Q. I told him it was my song and he said that everyone loves Susi Q! |
Decantos - Winery no. 2

Good time tasting wine at Decantos, but the patio and view were wonderful... |
Deckman's Restaurant at Mogor Winery
Going, going, gone.

Michelin Star awarded Chef Drew Deckman at the grill.
We ate oysters and foi groi, quail and suckling pig - all sourced from the region,
and of course, the wine was too.

A beautiful view for our 25 minute drive back to the casita. Night night!

Cheers! We found Mulle Tres restaurant on the docks.
Huge ceviche de la casa for two (w/the best avocado ever) was about $10.
There was the slightest bit of fresh ginger in it. It was amazing!
...back "home", our view around sunset.
I met a friend while enjoying the sunset.

Familia Rubio Bodega Winery and Bodega
These are lamb tacos made with griddled cheese instead of a tortilla.
The red liquid is chili oil and the dark red is a hot sauce made with habenero chili ash.
That's why its so dark.
