BAJA NORTE
Border Art and Wine tour of Tijuana and Valle de Guadalupe
FEB 28 - MARCH 3, 2026

Project Por Amor invites you on a four-day immersion into Baja Norte's cultural renaissance—a place where internationally exhibited artists, Michelin-starred chefs, and award-winning vintners are creating North America's most unexpected artistic frontier. After 17 years of revealing cultural secrets in Cuba and Iceland and decades of producing culture in Tijuana, we've built authentic relationships with the creative minds shaping Baja's extraordinary moment. We’ll encounter boundary-pushing contemporary art in exclusive artist studio access, intimate musical performances in unexpected venues, and conversations with cultural innovators and urban designers about borderland identity. We’ll dine under the stars at a Michelin-recognized restaurants redefining innovative border cuisine, and discover award-winning Baja wines in natural settings rarely available to typical visitors. More than a tour, this is our invitation to witness a creative uprising in real time—connecting directly with the artists, chefs, and vintners whose work will define this region for decades to come. Tijuana and Valle de Guadalupe are having their cultural moment right now. Come experience it before the rest of the world does.

"Five star all the way. Superb planning, timing and interests. Great leaders, lectures, sights, food, hotels experiences and transportation. Cannot imagine a better introduction and understanding of Cuba than we were able to attain from this travel opportunity. The other travelers in the program were an integral part of making the tour such a memorable experience. Thank you!"

"I had an extraordinary trip to Southern Iceland with Project Por Amor. All of the details of the trip were finely thought out to provide an exceptional experience. I greatly appreciated the intimate experiences of visiting artist studios and homes for conversation, viewing visual art and listening to musical performances. The landscape sights the group visited were amazing and otherworldly as well."
