Villa Torél

The Villa Torél is located in the Valle de Guadalupe region of Baja California, Mexico, situated within the beautiful grounds of Bodegas de Santo Tomás. The restaurant features a spacious outdoor terrace, offering guests a relaxed atmosphere where the natural surroundings enhance the culinary experience. Chef Alfredo Villanueva leads the kitchen, utilizing his diverse experience in Mexico, Spain, and the United States to create dishes that reflect his personal culinary journey.

This approach produces a blend of flavors from Levantine Mediterranean cuisine and Mexico, presented in shareable and thoughtfully balanced dishes. Signature dishes include raw red tuna with rhubarb kimchi and black garlic mayonnaise, roasted carrots with albedo cream and duck jus, and a Sierra Blanca wagyu loin from Valle de Guadalupe. The wine list is carefully curated with options from nearby wineries in the Valle de Guadalupe. Villa Torél has received the Bib Gourmand distinction in the Michelin Guide. It also organizes "Liernes," industry events that foster community through shared food and wine.
