At the border, our shuttle will stop at Mexican immigration and everyone will get off briefly to complete a short entry form (the FMM). There is no costfor trips of seven days or less. Bring your passport — that's the only document you need. The shuttle handles the vehicle side of things. We'll confirm pickup details closer to the date.
The Easy Option
We're running a round-trip bus from San Diego so you can relax, enjoy the day, and skip the drive both ways. It's about a 1.5–2 hour ride each way down the Pacific coast — and a pretty one.

Back at the Trolley Station
~Midnight
Drops off right where you started.
On the bus
Air conditioning, comfy seats, plenty of legroom, and a restroom on board. Bottled water is provided, and you're welcome to bring your own drinks — just no big coolers.
At the border
Please bring your actual passport — submitting your info here doesn't replace carrying it, you'll need to show it in person. Everyone steps off the bus briefly for inspection; it's quick, and the driver walks the group through it. Coming back into San Diego usually takes about an hour at the border.
Riding the bus?
We need your passport details ahead of time for the border crossing. Please take a minute to submit them.
Submit passport info →Driving or Staying Over
If you're driving yourself or staying overnight, plan ahead: Uber and Lyft don't reliably operate in Valle de Guadalupe. DiDi works in parts of the area but is hit-or-miss. The best bet is to arrange a private driver in advance — especially for the ride home after the wedding.
Ruta del Vino Tours
Valle-based; top-ranked on Tripadvisor with a documented track record handling 100+ guest weddings across multiple hotels. From ~$130 USD per group.
Baja Society Tours
San Diego–based, door-to-door wedding shuttle service with their own fleet (sedans to mini coaches). All-inclusive pricing: $319 sedan up to $699 mini coach roundtrip.
Ensenada Excursions and Tours
Best for hourly hire if you want a driver to bounce between wineries. 8-hour blocks from $187 (car) to $587 (minibus). Bilingual.
Most boutique hotels in the Valle (Bruma, Encuentro Guadalupe, Cuatro Cuatros, Adobe Guadalupe, Hacienda Guadalupe, etc.) can arrange transport for guests directly. When you book, ask the concierge about wedding-day pickup and return from Imanha — it's often the simplest option.
One important tip: book your return ride from Imanha before the wedding day. The Valle quiets down late at night and it can be hard to find a driver on short notice.

In Lieu of Gifts
Your presence is the only thing we truly want. We just bought a home, so rather than a registry of specific items, we've set up a fund to help with our honeymoon and the projects, furniture, and little necessities that turn a house into home. Every bit means the world to us.
Contribute to Our Fund →Good to Know
Black Tie is the vibe — but please don't feel obligated to buy anything new. Any formal dress or suit you already have works perfectly.
Our venue is best suited for an adult celebration, so we're kindly asking that little ones stay home if possible. We hope this gives our parent guests a chance to relax and enjoy the evening with us.
Ceremony starts at 4:30 PM. Please plan to arrive 15-20 minutes early to find your seat.
September in the Valle is typically warm during the day and cool in the evenings. A light layer for after sunset is a good idea.
No — staff at the venue and most restaurants in the area speak English. A few words of Spanish are always appreciated though!
Most wineries, restaurants, and the venue accept US dollars and credit cards. Having a small amount of pesos on hand is useful for tips and small purchases.
Yes — Imanha has on-site parking. If you're taking the group shuttle, parking isn't a concern.
Please reach out to us directly as soon as you can so we can do our best to accommodate you.
We can't wait to celebrate with you in the Valle.
