Wow. This place was absolutely amazing. My husband and I came and absolutely loved every dish. All local ingredients but Oaxacan styled dishes. So many tasty amuse bouches. The soup, duck, and pork with the mole were my favorite! Everyone was also super friendly and the timing of each dish was to perfection. I especially like the warmed pottery/dishes came in.

They only offer the tasting menu of 6 courses for $2,500 MXN but what a menu! They amuse bouche were like 5 different pieces on top of the 6 courses. You must go there with a huge appetite. The dishes are just delicious, no wonder they won a Michelin star. Service is impeccable, so friendly, so willing to help, so careful of details, explaining every bit. The chef came to our table twice to share with us his insights and inspiration for the dishes.
This place is an absolute must.

An Unforgettable Culinary Gem in Valle de Guadalupe
I don’t usually write reviews, but every once in a while, you experience something so memorable, so genuinely exceptional, that it feels like a disservice not to share. Damiana is that kind of place.
This was our first trip to Mexican wine country, and as seasoned travelers who have eaten our way through Napa, Carmel, Los Olivos, and Paso Robles, we honestly didn’t know what to expect. What we found was one of the most thoughtfully executed, soul-satisfying meals we’ve had anywhere.
From the moment we sat under the romantic canopy of an oak tree, it was clear we were in for something special. The setting was serene and elegant, effortlessly charming without being overdone. The six course meal with wine pairings was nothing short of extraordinary, and we knew we were in good hands the second the amuse-bouche arrived: six mini tastings, each a bold yet balanced preview of the flavors to come.
Every course was a masterclass in restraint and complexity, with fish dishes that danced with citrus and spice, a decadent duck course, and a standout suckling pig main that was rustic and refined all at once. The menu changes with the seasons, and everything, except a few spices, is sourced within 20 to 30 minutes of the kitchen, which speaks volumes about the restaurant’s connection to the community.
The staff was warm, knowledgeable, and made the evening feel personal without ever being overbearing. The chef, who came out multiple times to introduce dishes, was as charming and gracious as the food was delicious. Honestly, we could have shared a bottle of wine and talked with him all night.
We ended the evening with a stunning espresso cocktail and four delicate dessert bites that somehow tied everything together in a perfect final note.
To top it all off, meals like this in the U.S. would easily cost three to four times as much. Damiana delivers an experience that rivals the finest restaurants anywhere, but with a sincerity and soul that’s rare to find.
We’ll be back. And next time, we’re bringing friends.

I was so excited to see Michelin Guide finally made it to Mexico; the Michelin Star here is very well deserved. The servers, chef, and chef’s father go above and beyond to ensure every detail is perfect. From the specialty duster ensuring no wandering leaves have made it onto your table setting, to every unique plating and wine pairing from the property vineyard, the experience was beautiful. Every dish was delectable and well-balanced with the freshest of ingredients, with many dishes being served by chef Esteban himself. The staff was meticulous about accommodating my food allergy. There wasn’t a single dish out of the 15 plates I tasted that I didn’t love. With an ever evolving menu, I will be sure to return. In a short time I can see this spot earning a second star.

Incredible fine dining in Valle de Guadalupe. Every dish was rich and flavorful, and the wine pairing was fantastic. In reality we were served 16 different dishes, with a half dozen of those being full courses. It was a little too much food, so pairing down the sizes would be beneficial. Presentation was out of this world and the service is exquisite.

Wow! Breathtaking! And oh so special. What a true treat this meal was. We appreciate the chef, service, and the beautiful food that was created. It was all truly so delicious and was art. My husband and I were both in awe of how amazing this place was. If you want to treat yourself this place is truly it! I will be dreaming of the blue corn masa tamal

The food tasting experience was one of the best I’ve had. The chef came to our table to explain the appetizers and the suggester order to eat them in. Our host Nolan and our sommelier were both excellent and hands on. Will return again the next time we are here. I recommend this place to all foodies!

We had the pleasure of dining at Damiana’s last evening. The experience was nothing short of memorable. Chef Esteban has an incredible gift of transforming local ingredients into delectable works of art that are visually stunning and satisfy the most refined pallets. The service was impeccable. Chef’s dad and Andrea were the most gracious hosts and we felt that we were treated like honored guests or family. This was our first visit, but certainly not the last.

That was an absolutely incredible experience worth visiting the valley. The food is outstanding and we were lucky enough to have the chef present each dish in person. Such a memorable experience. The server Andrea made the whole experience very smooth and pleasant. Thank you very much and.. next time I see you I should have 3 stars, you promised ☺️

Dining at Damiana in Valle de Guadalupe is less a meal and more a carefully choreographed experience—one rooted in generosity, craftsmanship, and quiet confidence.
From the outset, we were met with genuine flexibility and care in accommodating our reservation, setting the tone for an evening defined by thoughtfulness rather than formality. We chose the chef’s tasting, guided by Chef Esteban, whose presence alone elevates the experience. He took time to visit our table, offering insight into the ingredients, preparation, and philosophy behind several dishes. His warmth and clarity reflected a deep respect for both the food and the people enjoying it.
Particularly striking was the attention paid beyond the plate. The tableware—beautiful, tactile, and quietly expressive—was designed by Carla Patterson, whose pottery feels inseparable from the dining experience itself. Each piece carries intention, grounding the meal in a sense of place, artistry, and elemental beauty.
Service throughout the evening was exemplary: attentive without intrusion, precise without rigidity. Every detail was anticipated, yet never overbearing. The Michelin recognition is evident not as a badge, but as a byproduct of the immense care invested in the curation of the menu. Each dish was deeply flavorful, thoughtfully composed, and strategically portioned—layered with balance and restraint. We left genuinely full, perhaps even indulgently so, but entirely satisfied and nourished.
Our server, Nacho, brought a lightness and charm that made the evening feel personal and joyful, while front-of-house manager Carlos was equally gracious, informative, and accommodating. A small, unexpected gesture to acknowledge our special occasion—offered without prompting—added an element of surprise and magic that will stay with us.
We dined on the outdoor terrace at night, where the atmosphere felt intimate and quietly enchanting. While we would love to return during daylight to experience the space anew, our evening was nothing short of exceptional.
Damiana leaves you not only satiated, but inspired—carrying with you a sense of appreciation, joy, and reverence for what thoughtful hospitality can be. Our deepest thanks to Chef Esteban, Nacho, and Carlos for an unforgettable and truly memorable experience.
