In the sculpture garden there are sculptures made of wood, marble, and resin, and it’s the perfect environment for visitors to sense the mentality of the sculptors. Both contemporary and traditional art pieces can be found in Galeria de Todos Santos. The Cope family invites art enthusiasts to come and enjoy their exhibitions.

In 2010, a group of friends established The Distillery, which is the first artisan distillery in the Baja Sur region. Here visitors can enjoy drinks such as Baja Midnight vodka, chocolate moonshine, and various house blends of tequila. Moreover, Baja Midnight drinks are gluten-free. The moonshine is made from sweet white corn, and sugarcane is used to make vodka. The Distillery also offers traditional and local wines – the house favorite is Jamica.
