Things to buy
North S.

We love this place. You get free wine tasting here. Isn't that amazing the wines are very good. They have reds and whites. Dry wine and sweets. Even a wanna bee port wine which isn't to bad. They have outside seating and a fire place outside. Seating inside if you want a glass or a bottle. The girl that served us over the holiday weekend was super nice. They have a lot of nice knickknacks and jewelry you can buy as well.

I didn't think I would have time in my day to swing by Luna Rossa but things worked out that I did. I drove down the frontage road waiting to see the place. When I came upon the nondescript building in the middle of almost no where I was wondering what was up. When I walked in I was the only one. Apparently they had just opened the tasting room for the first time in along time so I had just got super lucky. The fella there was laid back and friendly. We tried a few different reds. The cab was one of the best I had tried in New Mexico. The "NiNi" was a blend and was very good. It's actually was the most expensive which is for a blend. But it was really good so I got one of those too. While I sampled a couple other wines I wandered around the room. There was a few interesting things for purchase like glasses and stoppers. In the end I actually liked 4 different varietals. But they didn't ship to Florida :/ I got 2 bottles for my check bag though. Very glad I found the time to stop by this unassuming place. Excellent wine.

Their best seller, it's a blend. Delicious!

Was on a cross country road trip and stopped in this quirky little town in New México and found out they had so many vineyards and wineries! I didn't have time for a tasting, but really wanted to try New Mexico wine. So I went in and asked the lady for her recommendation, and she was incredibly helpful and even let me try two of them! The wines were amazing, and the place is surrounded by 32 acres of grape vines.

Spacious tasting room, friendly folks, nice wine, free tasting - what's not to like?!?

What a fun find of a good little winery in Deming of all places! We love to sample local wines when traveling and searched out wineries in NM in advance of a month long driving trip through the Southwest. We had Luna Rossa on our destination list because it was intriguing that this Italian born winemaker was bottling many Italian varietals, along with others, from all New Mexico grown grapes including many grown right there on his own 32 acre vineyard. Our only disappointment of the visit is that the winemaker, Paolo d'Andrea who with his wife Sylvia owns the winery they founded in 2001 was away visiting his home and we didn't get to meet him. We received an email in advance of our visit letting us know he'd be away, so we were prepared to drink wine in his absence and the young man, Sam, holding down the fort in the tasting room did a great job of introducing us to Luna Rossa's wine. Wine tasting here is free, with small free pours of anything bottled. We left with six wines, including Dolcetto, Nini (a blend of several Italian varietals), Shiraz, Conquistador (their port), a white blend called Symphony and Chenin Blanc. It's fun to know something about the winemakers and we learned Paolo grew up in the Friuli in a family with multi generation experience in winemaking and he has a degree in viticulture from an Italian college. His adventure in the US began in the mid 1980's when he was working for a big winemaking company in New Mexico to instruct the vineyard workers on pruning technique. Loving the area, he and his wife Sylvia began to lay the groundwork for what would become Luna Rossa in 2001. The love Paolo and Sylvia have for their work and pride in their product comes through in the bottle and in the wine tasting facility too. We recommend a visit to Luna Rossa. ACCESSIBILITY PS - for wine tasters who roll, worth noting that the winery has accessible parking in front, is level in and throughout, has accessible bathrooms - the only hitch in the giddeyup is lack of accessible height seating at the tasting bar. GOOD FOOD PS - As side note, Sam also told us that Luna Rossa has a restaurant serving delicious food in nearby Las Cruces. We didn't know that in advance of this trip or we would have selected that as a dining location on an overnight in Las Cruces a couple of weeks prior.. So, just passing that tidbit along so other Yeeps don't miss it! http://www.yelp.com/biz/luna-rossa-las-cruces

Do they have food?

They did not when I was there although the one in Las Cruces does.

I liked pretty much everything I tasted, and ended up taking a bottle of the Nini (a red blend) and Zinfandel with me.

Rio Grande Winery - Outdoor seating under roof

I stopped in Rio Grande Winery in Las Cruces, New Mexico and had a really nice experience. The…read moreoutdoor seating area is beautiful, with a great view of the mountains behind the vineyard. It was a little windy when I visited in March, but the scenery more than made up for it. I arrived a bit late for a full tasting since they stop tastings after 4 PM, but the staff was still kind enough to let me sample four different wines. I ended up enjoying them so much that I bought three bottles to take with me--two reds and one sparkling. The staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming. Honestly, everyone I met in Las Cruces seemed that way. At one point, a local woman nearby even asked if it would bother me if she smoked. I thought that was such a polite and considerate thing to do. Between the mountain backdrop, the relaxed atmosphere, and the friendly people, it was a really pleasant stop. I'd definitely recommend checking it out if you're in the area.

The highlight for us was the Petit Verdot, a fantastic New Mexico wine that we absolutely loved. The ambiance is beautiful, the venue itself is amazing, and it wasn't overly crowded, which made it easy to relax and enjoy the evening. The live music was outstanding. Moonshine Railroad from El Paso played, and they were incredible. They performed a mix of old and new country, and every song was a perfect two-step or waltz. Super danceable and so much fun. The winery should really advertise this band more because they were a huge part of what made the night special. Unfortunately, the service didn't match the setting. After our waiter brought our bottle of wine, he never returned. We ended up having to ask another waitress to put in our dessert order. He left for the evening without checking back with us, and we didn't even know he had left. Also, other reviews are accurate about needing better wait staff at the back area where the live bands play -- that process could definitely be improved. Our dessert (a brownie with ice cream) tasted burnt, which was disappointing after such a strong start with the wine. Despite the service issues and dessert mishap, we'll definitely return but next time we'll just order directly from the bar. The wine, atmosphere, and especially the music made it worth it.

Wine tasting in New Mexico?! Well, why the hell NOT?! This was such a different experience for me…read more While the wine didn't knock my socks off, what did was the amazing hospitality and atmosphere. Sombra Antigua is where you wanna go to have a fun time. No judgments here, just a relaxing good time. While visiting New Mexico, I decided to check out the wine tasting scene. Admittedly, my expectations for wineries outside of my home state of California are generally quite low. Not because I don't think that there is better wine out there, but simply because I don't want to quickly compare everything to what I already know. Coming here, I knew it wouldn't be anything like the wineries back home. But that's honestly what I enjoyed most about Sombra Antigua. I stopped by solo without a reservation, and literally left with newly made friends that I hung out with for the rest of the night and even the next day. I mean, the people are so friendly, welcoming, and trustworthy here. There was live music and I sat and watched. 15 minutes later I was actually up and DANCING with a group of people. Shayla dancing with unknowns?! At MY big age? In this new era?! It's a rarity, I tell you! But, I did it. And it was SOOO much fun. Not to mention, the wine was actually pretty damn tasty. Yep, I said it! It was tasty. I enjoyed their Viognier, Demi sec, Barbera, and sweet cider beer. Is it the best wine that I've ever had in my life?! No, not at all. But, it's still good for the occasion and extremely affordable. They've got a large list of both wine and beer, and it's $5 for 5 tastes. BRING THOSE PRICES BACK TO NAPA!!! I know, I know... it ain't gonna happen. But, at least it's still thriving out here. The family who own and operate this winery is wonderful. They were right there dancing and drinking with everyone else. I love the family feel here. This is a winery where everyone know one another. And if they don't know someone, they're gonna get to know you and embrace you. I instantly felt embraced. What a warm and fun little gem this place is! If I'm ever back in this area again, a visit to Sombra Antigua will be first on my to-do list!
