As many of you may already know: There is more to Valle Guadalupe than wine.

If you are interested in trying olive oil, cheese, wine vinegar etc. be sure to visit
Sol de Medianoche in Francisco Zarco, A small community west of Encuentro Guadalupe off hwy 3.

There is a lineup of small wine lounges, ice cream shops etc. near this shop, if you'd like to try some other goodies; this one was recommended by our host at Encinares BnB.

They provide small trays for each person, with a dozen or so selections of various cheeses. They also have locally made dressings that you can sample and purchase.

I purchased some red wine vinegar for myself and for a gift, and my friend bought some of the dressings.

(Added bonus: Unlike the 1 L per person limit on wine you can get as much of this as you would like to take back across the border.)
