Combine Rancho La Puerta’s organic farm, new Culinary Center, and our famous fitness classes and spa treatments…Olé!--a new one-day spa and culinary adventure for our neighbors in the San Diego area has debuted to rave reviews.
This Saturday experience (8 a.m. to 8 p.m.) includes round-trip transportation from San Diego via luxury motor coach (about a 1 hour drive). At the Ranch you’ll enjoy a choice of fitness classes, a gourmet spa-cuisine lunch, free time for exploring world-class gardens, relaxing by the pool, tennis, spa treatments (additional cost), and the grand finale—a three-hour hands-on culinary experience plus dinner at La Cocina Que Canta.
It’s the perfect getaway for one or two, a group of friends, birthday parties, retreats, or a team-building experience…complete with the warmth of Old Mexico’s charm and graciousness and the company of fellow spa and food lovers.

Physical requirements: Rancho La Puerta is a place that grew over many years into a garden-path environment where walking is viewed as enjoyable exercise—and yes, you will be doing a fair amount of walking! If walking is difficult for you, or if you have trouble navigating steps, slightly uneven brick paths, rustic tile floors, and being “out in the rows” in the vegetable garden, then “Saturdays at the Ranch” is not for you. We are very sorry but we also cannot accommodate aids such as wheelchairs, walkers, scooters, etc.
Spa Therapies: For a description of therapies available on Saturday, click here. You may pre-book a therapy once you have confirmed your Saturday at the Ranch reservation. Your credit card will be charged upon confirmation of your treatment time. Gratuity optional; must be paid in cash after treatment.
