Welcome Reception at Hotel Coral and Marina.
After the guests have had a chance to check-in to their respective hotels, a shuttle will provide transportation for them to the Conference Hotel for a special Mexican Fiesta Welcome Reception. Attendees will be greeted by colorfully dressed mariachi musicians in a lovely outdoor garden overlooking the marina. Come enjoy the sights, sounds and tastes of old Mexico as we dine on specially prepared �Mexican Botanas� and quench our thirst with the best of the region�s locally harvested wines and beers. As you mingle with your fellow colleagues, a Mexican Ballet Folklorico Troupe will perform to welcome you to the magic customs of this beautiful land!
Special Event Dinner at �La Embotelladora Vieja� Restaurant.
This evening, the attendees will be transported back in time to a very special place where the famous Santo Tomas Vineyards bottled their grape harvest. You will be dining in a 150 year-old building that was once used to age Baja�s famous wine in giant, antique wooden casks which still stand today as part of the restaurant�s decor. Known throughout Mexico as one of the top fine dining restaurants, La Embotelladora Vieja serves up incredible Mediterranean fare with a Mexican-Pacific coast twist. As we are served our elegant three-course meal in the intriguing, candlelit bottling plant, you will be left with a definite sense of the history of wine making in Baja California. This is an unforgettable evening not to be missed!

Information on various restaurants can be found on the Ensenada link in the web-site, or you may inquire at your hotel front-desk or with Conference staff, for dining suggestions. Transportation is not provided this evening, and we suggest you take local taxis from your hotel to town.
