There are three individual hotels at the Bruma Wine Resort. Ático, and Casa Moñtana and Casa Ocho (venue). NOTES: All hotels are within the gated Bruma Wine Resort.

Ático has 17 rooms and is near Mercado Bruma which includes a famous bakery, michelin restaurant, bar, shops, and a wine cellar. This is roughly a 5 minute drive from the ceremony and reception areas at Casa Ocho. At Casa Moñtana there are two villas each consisting of four individually keyed rooms. Each Villa has an infinity pool and kitchen area for staff to make breakfast (not included in room rate). The breathtaking views of the mountains, vineyard, and pond make this an exceptionally tranquil getaway. It is about a 7 minute drive from the reception and ceremony. Casa Ocho- These rooms are designated for guests we've made arrangements with in advance. Thank you for your understanding. For these properties we have secured a special rate with the hotel manager, Ruth Loyola. Please contact her for your booking needs. Prices are 317$ - $398 for Attico and 1000-1500$ for Casa Montańa.

Travel Note

Map

We HIGHLY suggest you take highway 94 into Tecate which turns into Mexico Highway 3 if driving. Essentially its one road all the way From San Diego to Bruma. The mountainous drive is stunning and doesn't require any tolls. The road is well- paved but windy. The other option is a coastal, scenic road along the iconic Mexican Highway 1. There are some tolls and is more of an adventure if you have the time. We would advise against driving at night on either route as lighting is limited.
