Our new favorite place! They have wine tasting 3 glasses for $12 and lots of wine choices. They had a Mexican lager lots of people were drinking as well! They did have some snacks but not a lot, the two ladies that helped us said to bring snacks next time, well we came two days in a row and brought sandwiches and snacks the next day and ordered a bottle to sit outside on the lovely lawn they had! The lawn was huge, they also have a massive patio with plenty of seating. String lights all through the lawn, trees, and a stage for events! Love this place so much and they offer horse back riding with tasting along with tours! read more

If I was judging solely by the wines that I tried, this review would easily be 2 stars. But their charming estate, casual atmosphere, and fun company is what earns them 3 stars. Decided to do some wine tasting while I was in the area, and La Viña was my first winery stop for the day. The first thing that caught my eye was their charming little estate. I've seen grander estates, but this one was the most charming out of all the wineries that I visited in the area. It was also neat to learn that La Viña is New Mexico's oldest winery. I loved the brick arch near the entrance and their cute double balcony in the front. Inside is cozy and bright with mustard colored walls and wine barrels with glass overlays set as little tasting tables. They also have a huge lawn space in the back where they host several large events during the year. They conduct their tastings by pre-poured flights which costs $10 for 3 tastes. The pours are pretty generous and you can choose what wines you want to try. Service was pretty slow at the counter, but they only had 2 wine stewards working that day, so not sure if they were just short staffed. Since I had never tried their wines before, I asked for suggestions on certain varietals. Neither of the ladies could really describe or recommend anything in particular to me. This was disappointing, but I just braved it and picked out what sounded like the best for my taste. I tasted there Gewürztraminer, Chardonnay, and Cab Franc. The Gewürz and Chard were way too sweet for my liking. It was almost syrupy like. The Gewürz was more on the floral end whereas the Chard was buttery. They weren't terrible, but not really my style. The Cab Franc was really, really light. I'd say even lighter than a Pinot which is unusual. It did have a nice earthy tone to it. Overall, I just wasn't all of that impressed. Even for table wine, I wouldn't purchase any of the wines that I tried. Their saving grace in my opinion was the friendly patrons in the wine bar. I met some really sweet people and we chatted for most of the time that I was there. People are really friendly here and this makes the atmosphere enjoyable. So for the social aspect, this is a nice place to chill and hang out. But when it comes to the actual wine and service, it's not all that impressive. read more

We stayed here for Harvest Host. The wine was good! We enjoyed the Tempranillo and Merlot. The inside was nice and the service was friendly

Another successful La Viña Spring Wine Festival 2024! This year we decided to invest in the VIP passes, they were $100/person and well worth it! We were treated like royalty with a red carpet entrance and 20 ounces worth of wine tasting paired with delicious wine pairing appetizers and main dish samplings from RIPE, absolutely scrumptious! We also got VIP parking, private covered patio seating and 20% off all wine bottle purchases, and best of all access to in-door restrooms, no portable potties!!!! We also could enter the festival and walked the grounds and access to all food and vendor stands...totally awesome! This is their second year offering VIP passes, definitely worth the money! Thank you La Viña, we will see you next year! read more

I had not been to the winery in a long time and wasn't familiar with the wines. I asked to do a tasting and was poured a flight. It was challenging as I did not like one wine and didn't drink it. Had I been able to taste wines before I would have enjoyed it more and possible purchase bottles. read more

All tastings for only $5. That's right. Taste them all for $5. CASH ONLY though. No worries, there's an ATM inside tasting room. The pours are super generous, way more than the splashes we get out in Napa. If only I would of known of this location back in the day, I would of rallied up the GFs and made a day checking out all the wineries in the area. This winery was the largest selection of wines to chose from, so no doubt you will find something you like. I went on a Saturday and it was packed. So, head out early. Their estate has outdoor seating and they even have live music during the warmer months. read more

This is one of my favorite wineries in the area. They have a beautiful outside area with a fountain to site by or a large yard with trees to sit under. They sometimes have live music too. Their wine selection is very large and I suggest doing their tastings to see what you like. Of course the wine depends on your taste but I prefer their semi sweet selection. You can also purchase cheese and crackers to snack on as you taste. I would check the weather before coming as there isn't much of an indoor area so if you don't want to be hot, pick a cooler day to come. read more

La Viña let us stay in the parking lot on 11/16/20. We use the harvest hosts app which sets you up with wineries, farms, etc. so you can park your trailer in their lots overnight. Luz was so friendly and we bought a couple bottles of wine from her (the winery itself wasn't open because of the recent COVID shutdown). We drank the dolcetto ($19) which was fantastic, and we're going to drink the heritage ($26) on thanksgiving! Thank you Luz for your hospitality!!! Also you can walk the property and it's quite beautiful!! Although I'm from California, I will definitely be back one day!! read more

Ok. I tasted 6 of their wines ($8 for 3 tastes, I had 3 white and 3 red for $16 total) and thought all of them were some of the worst wines I ever had. I am not a wine novice or snob. But these were unimpressive, legless and boring. I have traveled through Europe, California, Texas and done a lot of wine tasting. This was by far my least favorite. The added star to 2 is because the grounds were impressive. read more

La Vina is my favorite local winery! I was super bummed when the wine fest was canceled due to COVID but I'm so glad to see that they've opened up their beautiful yard for picnics. We bought a couple bottles of wine and our own snacks. It was the perfect Sunday afternoon. read more

Just recently was able to visit this winery especially since we are new to the area.

Wines were delicious just wish they were selling food as well but I totally understand due the circumstances. Cant wait to visit them again ! read more

La Vina is the old guard of Mesilla Valley wineries. Forever ago, when discussing regional wines, it was the first, and possibly the only, vineyard discussed among enthusiasts. Our group went for an afternoon tasting, and I was astounded by their varietals that are quite rare outside of northern California. I'm struggling to remember exactly, but I beleive that their tasting was a mere $3 for 6 samples. A great deal considering their enthusiastic pours. They had about 15 selections of wine, which, if you've been to other vineyards for tastings, is an enormous selection. It was almost impossible to choose, especially since they grew so many of my favorite varietals including Semillon, Sangiovese, and Petite Syrah. I also tried the Cote de Bravo (good), Primitivo (very good), and the Rojo Loco (not my favorite). I took 2 bottles of the Sangiovese home with me to enjoy later. La Vina is also well-known for the annual wine festival, true pioneers in this regard as an outlet for west Texas and eastern New Mexico wine zealots like our group. I might also add that they will ship cases of 3, 6, and 12 bottles to anywhere in the country. read more

Very nice atmosphere here at the winery! Chill and relaxing and only $5 for a tasting of 6 different wines. Loved the Heritage and Merlot here, they were the best in my opinion. Also, highly recommend the Caliente, interesting to have a wine made with New Mexico Red Chile! Not that spicy actually just sweet with a hint of spice. Overall though, very nice spot and fantastic people staffing! read more

Great end of April wine fest! Super well organized, a nice selection of food trucks (brisket sandwich was pretty good), local craftsmen (soaps, hats, dips, jewelry, etc). Good job on getting mother nature to cooperate with a beautiful day. Everything about the event was well thought out. Parking in btw the rows of pecan trees was both super cool, but also very efficient. La Vina had a good amount of wine pourers to keep everything going smoothly. There were no long lines to get wine or water and everything was very quick. The staff was very friendly as well. I did not get a chance to see the inside of the winery since it was an outdoors event only, but I would definitely go back. While the white wines were less impressive to me than the reds, I really enjoyed several of the different reds, especially the cabernet and the sangiovese. Keep an eye out for next year's event. read more

Great place to relax! Open yard on the side for kids to run around, patio for adults to sit and enjoy, mountain views that look like a painting. I would definite come back! Pro-tip, buy a tasting (6 different choices if you like) so you can decide which bottle you want to take home! Cheers!! read more

Stopped in on a horseback tour of the area. The oldest winery in New Mexico. I counted at least 29 varieties of wine ALL produced on site by Guillermo. Guillermo allowed us to sample several. All were delicious. I settled on the dry Barrel Fermented Chardonnay and semi-sweet Rojo Locos as my take home bottles. The prices started at $14 per bottle. Very reasonable for fantastic local wine. I highly recommend a visit. Visiting by horseback from Miller's Horse farm is definitely the way to go. read more

Beautiful view and lovely setting for a nice wine tasting. For $5 you get 6 wine tastings. The wine was not bad, although nothing to really write home about. The "la dolce viña" wine was pretty good, and I don't even like sweet wines. I was pretty unimpressed by one thing though; a lady asked for cheese and crackers and she was given them in one of those cheap carnival popcorn/hot dog cardboard containers. Have some class and give people a plate for their cheese and crackers! Overall, it's a fun thing to do on a lazy Saturday afternoon, but is one of the less classy/enjoyable wineries I've been to. read more

Delicious wine, and so much fun! La Vina is an all-around great experience. Last weekend, my husband and I decided to make the journey and discover some great wine. La Vina did not disappoint! First of all, we love local fare, of both the food and drink variety. During our wine tasting ($5 for 6 delicious tastes!!), we tried a variety of different wines, as well as a lovely cheese. We ended up going home with four different bottles, which were a mix of red and white. This was notable because we both trend heavily towards being "red only" people. However, we found that La Vina definitely knows what they're doing with both varieties, and that the Viognier definitely merited us getting a bottle! The woman assisting us was very knowledgeable about the wines. She also mentioned that they have a lovely wine festival coming up-- so if you're in the area and looking for something to do, definitely check this out! We will definitely be back. Bonus: They ship all their wines for a very reasonable fee! read more

This place is amazing. Decided to stop here before heading back from a road trip to New Mexico and was worth the drive from Las Cruces (about half an hour). It is in a weird spot, but the building is beautiful. The woman working was fantastic, I wish I remembered her name - she was so knowledgeable about the wines offered and was so friendly. The wine was delicious and was really cheap for the tasting. (you get to try 6) Ended up buying a couple bottles of my favorite and she gave us the wine glasses too. I was so impressed by this place. Even though it's kind of out of the way depending on where you are coming from, it is worth the drive. If I am ever back in the area I will be returning. read more

Took my friend here for his first winery experience ever! They offer 6 tastings for $5! I cannot get over how cheap it is. The bottles are relatively inexpensive as well. I think this was a good start for him since he doesn't like wine but he actually enjoyed himself here! I was surprised to find out that my favourite wine here was the Viognier! I usually only drink dry whites but this particular wine was amazing. The Dolcetto dry red was also another favourite of mine. I dislike sparkling sweet wines so if you're more of a dry fan like I am then you probably don't want to go sweeter than the gewurztraminer. The lady who was helping us was very knowledgeable. She told me she'll be heading off to Canada soon so hopefully she enjoys some of the wineries there with her family. When you walk the grounds there is one solo bench that has cup holders on the side so you can enjoy the beautiful trees while you sip on your vino. It was very peaceful. The only thing is that I wish we had a better view of the actual vinyards! They have a patio but it's not that nice. read more

For people who don't want to read a novel for a review: The place is a simple wine tasting. $5 cash only tasting for 6 wine tastings (ATM inside). Pretty simple. They have a good deal of options for every type of wine lover out there. They bring out some random snacks which I don't think is meant to pair, but more as just to change flavors between wines. Nice way to spend an hour or so with friends. read more

During a trip on the back roads to Mesilla, my boyfriend and I decided to finally stop at La Viña Winery because I was sick and tired of passing a wineries and thinking aloud, "One day, I want to try that place." LVW was a good introduction to New Mexico wines for me. LVW is compact. They actually have space to expand the lobby/wine bar area, but it doesn't look like they have any plans to. I was a little disappointed that there are no chairs whatsoever inside. I was informed that this was because they were so small and they needed to keep foot traffic moving. That feels a little cold... okay, not a little cold, extremely cold and mechanical. There are a couple of chairs and tables right outside the doors, but in the cold winter months (or even our scorching summer months) it would be nice to take a load off while sipping wine in a temperature controlled environment. Before I even get to the wine tasting part, I just want to touch base on the lack of pairing items. You know, like chocolates and salamis and cheeses and crackers and jams and what have you. There was a single basket that had some meats, crackers and cheeses, but it was very unclear to me whether I had to purchase the whole dang basket in order to have just a smidge of cheese with my wine. And outside of my decision to not spend more on cheese and crackers at a winery than I would on wine at a winery, I realized I would feel rather uncomfortable opening up this Pandora's Box of goodies at the small wine bar as other patrons tried to swoop in for their glass of wine. But the wine! The wine tasting is only $5 and you get the option of six different wines of your choosing and you get to keep the LVW wine glass. So really you're paying for the glass. The wines available are typed out on single sheet of paper and have a tiny description that follows. At the time my phone was dying and I had no signal so I made the executive decision not to snap any photos, meaning the names of almost all the wines I tried have eluded me. However, what I do remember is the very first wine I tried was La Piñata and it was my absolute favorite. Really sweet and just perfect for someone like me that's in love with white wines. And although my boyfriend and I have different tastes in wines, we were able to settle on one we both liked and buy a bottle... the Little Table White Zinfandel (which I found appropriately named with Mesilla so close). Not as sweet as La Piñata, but just as good. I was also very interested to see that LVW had a few German wines like Riesling and one I had never heard of and had to have a quick lesson on the pronunciation which ended up being something like "Girls Are Meaner" (although my original pronunciation wasn't that far off). I can't remember the name of the lady that filled our hearts as she filled our cups, but she was a delight and she moved quickly. There were less than twenty people at LVW when we went and only two on staff, but they were very efficient and would poke in to converse about the wines and LVW. I think it's also worth mentioning that on Sundays they have a tiny market outside the front doors where you can pick up some jewelry, soap, and jellies. Very neat idea. We ended up buying a couple of handmade soaps. So a wine tasting, a wine glass to take home, a bottle of wine for later, and some handmade soaps... sounds like a good day to me! Oh and almost every bottle they sell at LVW is under $20... uh, yes please! read more

Awesome day trip spot! The drive is super relaxing and you can really enjoy the fresh farm air out here! The Winery offers wine tasting, $5 for 6 samples of their wines, and they have little slices of cheese to go along with the deal. The wines are pretty good and I'm not much of a wine drinker. So those who are would probably be able to give you the hints the roasted, fruity flavors of the deep red or the flowery arrangement of the pears and strawberries or whatever, but that's not me haha The wifey and I scooped up a couple of their bottles for a picnic and a celebration. Like I said, I'm not much of a wine drinker and neither is the wifey so we picked up some sweet wines on our stop. I would recommend the Oro Loco as a great afternoon wine, sitting under a tree somewhere, enjoying a brunch or a nice lunch. We also scooped up the Piñata for an up coming celebration, which the name truly describes the flavor of the sparkling wine! The reason for the 4/5 stars is we went on a Sunday, presumably probably their busiest day, and there was only one wine connoisseur there offering the tastes. Now the connoisseur was awesome and gave us plenty of details and information and was super friendly...I just wish there had been two of her. The place was busy and it often took us a while to get some samples. Also, the sampling area is standing only and very limited in space, making the area cramped and us squeezing in for a sample. But, nonetheless, I shall return in the not so distant future, I am sure. I love local and the atmosphere of this place was defintly enough to want me to go back. read more

Went wine tasting for my birthday here and I loved the service people were so nice the wine was great and it was not expensive at all you get to keep the wine glass after the tasting!! read more

i came here by myself as an out-of-towner on vacation and i'd recommend this place. i don't know much about wines, but i came here for the samplings so i let the wine expert pick for me. he was knowledgeable and enthusiastic about the wines and i liked him, he seemed personable. when i went, they were quite busy that day so i don't think they were as attentive about supplying cheeses and crackers and other nibblets but otherwise, i would come back if i was in the area and try the tour, which starts before the winery opens. La Dolce Viña was very good! read more

We were looking for something to do on our way to las Cruces from El Paso. This place is set on a beautiful tree-lined highway.

Such a beautiful winery! We brought quite a large group, and they were more than accommodating. The atmosphere was fantastic, as was the wine. Between a group of 12 people, we tried quite a bit of wine and each had a very distinct, unique flavor. If you're in the area, it's definitely worth the stop! read more

Nice winery and fun Spring Winefest. I give them 4 stars because my pregnant wife who was the designated driver was charged the full admission fee. You would think the Winery would encourage designated drivers with free or discounted admission. Other places encourage this with free admission and free water or soft drinks for designated drivers. read more
