Tru Miller on Wine & Angels at Adobe Guadalupe Vineyards & Inn

Tru Miller, the lovely and gregarious owner of Adobe Guadalupe, is the Grande Dame of Baja’s wine region. Originally from the Netherlands, Tru spent much of her youth exploring the world. She has distilled that lifetime of travel into her casually elegant hacienda, Adobe Guadalupe. 

When she and her husband, Donald Miller, bought the land in 1997, they began hiring the best. Hugo D’Acosta became their winemaker, and Newport-based architect Neil Haghighat designed and oversaw the winery’s construction.  Obsessive attention to quality infuses every detail of their magnificent estate. Their first bottling was in 2000. Under the care of current winemaker, young-gun Daniel Lonnberg, Adobe Guadalupe produces some of the finest and most exciting wines in Mexico.

We arrived at 10 AM and found Tru and her Agronomer, Jose Fernandez, having breakfast at the kitchen’s communal table. She beckoned us to join them, and we were delighted that we did. The eggs and machaca with handmade flour tortillas were divine. Tru opened a bottle of Tia Tula, her rose-colored Blanco Tequila (aged for thirty days in used Raephel barrels), and all was right in our world. After months of staying home, it was beautiful to be sipping tequila after a lovely breakfast of farm-fresh, locally-sourced ingredients.
