Until recently, destination weddings in Los Cabos and the Baja region were synonymous with beach weddings, which typically took place in large resorts, boutique hotels, or private villas. But in the last few years, Los Cabos and Baja have become an important part of the farm-to-table trend, offering beautiful and relaxed farm venues for elegant and rustic outdoor events.
Such is the case of Huerta Los Tamarindos, a sprawling 17-acre organic farm located just a mile away from the Sea of Cortez and San Jose del Cabo’s estuary. Formerly a 19th century sugar cane farm, the property has become one of the most important farms in the region due to its fertile soil. With a restaurant, daily produce market, cooking classes and organic tours, Los Tamarindos provides guests with a full farm-to-table experience.
The property’s newly-renovated historic farmhouse, which was built in 1888, is the perfect event venue, with room for up to 400 guests. The farm’s restaurant, which is available for private events, offers a menu of tasty dishes that are constantly changing, all prepared with local and organic ingredients.
When you tie the knot at Los Tamarindos, you can choose from a variety of menu options, including cocktail hour finger food, full-course dinner menus and family-style menus. Your guests can start off by savoring a delicious chile relleno, stuffed with zucchinis, squash blossom and corn, tomato sauce and Mennonite cheese; then, comes the exquisite fish Veracruzana, which is poached fresh local fish with tomatoes, garlic, bell peppers, black olives and bay leaves served with cilantro brown rice; and to top it all off, how about some classic Mexican flan? A gourmand’s paradise!
If your idea of the perfect wedding includes farm-fresh gourmet food, laid-back vibes, an exquisite Baja sunset and beautiful scenery that includes large mango trees, sunflowers, marigolds and palm trees, then Huerta Los Tamarindos might be the perfect venue for you.
