Chateau San Felipe Valentine & Wine Poker Run

The Chateau San Felipe Valentine and Wine Poker Run is one of the most anticipated events on the San Felipe social calendar, blending adventure, romance, and fine wine in a uniquely coastal setting. Hosted by Chateau San Felipe, the only winery in Baja California located on the Sea of Cortez. This annual celebration invites participants to explore the region’s scenic beauty while enjoying exceptional local vintages and gourmet experiences.

The event begins with a lively gathering at Chateau San Felipe, where participants receive their first poker card and a glass of the winery’s signature wine. From there, the run winds through the desert and along the coastline, with several wine stops offering tastings of Chateau San Felipe selections. Each stop provides a chance to collect another card, mingle with fellow offroaders and wine lovers, and take in the stunning views that make San Felipe so distinctive. The combination of Baja sunshine, ocean breezes, and expertly crafted wines creates an atmosphere that’s both festive and relaxed.

After the final stop, participants return to the winery for an elegant meal prepared by the winery, and perfectly paired Chateau San Felipe wines. As the sun sets over the Sea of Cortez, guests enjoy music, laughter, and the excitement of the poker hand reveal, where prizes are awarded to the best hands of the day.

Beyond the event itself, Chateau San Felipe offers year round tastings, vineyard tours, and private events, making it a cornerstone of the region’s growing wine culture. With its unmatched location, warm hospitality, and dedication to quality, the Valentine and Wine Poker Run captures the spirit of Baja, where fine wine meets coastal adventure.
