The staff was great. The tasting generous and free. Bought three bottles of wine. Very good!

We had many questions about their wines and all were answered with a fantastic explanation. We will visit them again soon.

We are on a road trip at the moment and staying just down the street from this winery. We noticed it from the highway, read the reviews and decided it was definitely worth a visit. We stopped in this afternoon and we're very impressed by the fact that they grow all of their own grapes here on property, the vineyards are beautiful! She also told us they have over 52 varietals. The wine tasting is actually free for five selections, reserve wines not included, so that is super generous, considering what you pay another locations for a tasting. We loved the Valentino, the Pinot Grigio and the red we selected is the Montepulciano. If you have a partner that does not like wine, she also stocked some craft beers. It does look like they have some fun events here as they have a beautiful patio with an outdoor fireplace. There were locals coming in to buy their favorite wines, so this family business seems well loved by the locals. Cute spot and we would definitely stop in again! read more

Just an all round winery People are friendly and very informative. Easy location and plenty of parking.

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. read more

Enjoyed the wine tasting and the service - we actually got lucky and chatted with a couple locals as well, of course made a purchase too

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. read more

My wife and I went here with my daughter and her friend visiting us from Montana. The three ladies did the free wine tasting of 5 different wines each, I don't drink so I was the D.D. They enjoyed the different wines and brought a couple of bottles home. The hostess was very friendly and knowledgeable and suggested different wines according to their tastes. If you like wine this is a great place to go. read more

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. read more

Luna Rossa Winery - Their best seller, it's a blend. Delicious! - Wineries Near Me - Deming, New Mexico

Delicious wines, locally grown grapes. We stopped in to break up our long drive. Free tasting!! Loved the reds, esp. Nini, a blend; not too sweet. Cynthia was our hostess, very friendly and informative. We ended up with 4 bottles of wine and a jar of hot sauce, locally made and perfectly spiced. read more

We found this very nice winery while searching for winery in the area near Deming,NM. Our wine tasting expert was so informative and friendly, at the time we were the only ones in the tasting room and she told us a great deal about each wine my husband and I enjoyed. read more

Well I came to NM for work, not expecting to find a cool winery to hang out in.....but if did. Free tastings and good prices on glasses of wine and bottles. Even if you're just driving through stop in for a visit. read more

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 read more

The two women at the tasting room were unwelcoming, unhelpful and seemed bothered by our visit. We didn't even finish our tasting. The two wines I tasted were decent, but sadly I won't be back because of the service. read more

Stopped at Luna Rossa for a tasting on a camping/hot springs soaking trip to southern NM after becoming aware of them in wine shops and adding them to my list of must-visit wineries. I have been making wine at home in New Mexico for 15 years and have always felt that Italian red grapes are the source of our best reds. Apparently the folks at Luna Rossa agree with me. Luna Rossa is a new(ish) winery but their owner's involvement in the wine biz in NM is not new. I'm excited by his approach that is all about less tinkering and more letting the wine make itself and the grapes speak. Unlike many in NM who focus on well know varietals that the market demands, like Cabernet, Merlot, and Chardonnay, the focus here is on grapes like Sangiovese, Montepulciano, Negro Amaro, Refosco, and others that have been well known in Italy for centuries. There is also a sprinkling of slightly sweet wines made from Shiraz and Dolcetto, along with several whites, again, carefully selected. The tasting in the winery was fun and nicely paced but the wines I am enjoying at home, where I am able to focus on them, really tell the story. The Sangiovese I just opened is lighter in color and has bright cherry aromas and flavor with a hint of that Italian scent that reminds me of tobacco or cedar. Delicious. In fact, aroma was what impressed me throughout my tasting at LR. Their wines are each clearly crafted to be individuals, not simply fruity beverages. Prices are surprisingly reasonable for a local wine of this quality and the wine club is very flexible, so much so that we went ahead and joined on the spot. Very, very highly recommended. read more

Nice winery and facility. Their wine tasting was free which is pretty unusual these days. Five tastes are provided and you can pick what you want to try other than the reserve bottles. Really enjoyed the wine as the owner/ wine maker is from Italy so they bottle several Italian wines. I have gotten to where I really enjoy trying different grapes/ wines then those mainly bottled in the USA. The wines were very good. Worth a trip to the winery, tasting and buying wine. Will do it again. read more

Great Wine and service was amazing the two ladies that waited on us were friendly ask for Cynthia and Diana were very sweet

We stopped here driving through Deming. The staff were very friendly. The wine was great with varietals unique to New Mexico. They had a wide selection of wines in a beautiful tasting room. Perfect for beginners and wine connoisseurs. read more

I was driving cross-country, and saw a billboard for Deming along I-10 just as I left Las Cruces heading west. The billboard touted Deming's "award-winning wineries," and "microbrewery" (no adjectives or descriptors for the brewery - but Google informed me that it was Permanently Closed anyway). Deming has a few wineries - Luna Rossa, St. Clair, and New Mexico Vineyards (maybe? couldn't find a website for that one, so I immediately knew I wasn't going to stop there). I don't know why I picked Luna Rossa; St. Clair has a more polished website, and they're about the same distance from the exit ramp. Couldn't do both because I was driving and didn't want to "taste" that much wine... I was glad I stopped at Luna Rossa, though. It was relatively early - around 11am. The building was pretty good-sized, with a large outdoor patio that looked like it would be a good place for evening sipping (maybe with live music occasionally?) There was no one else in the tasting room. The guy behind the bar wasn't a sommolier, but he was personable, engaging, and seemed to know the business's wines pretty well. For tasting, they'll let you try 6 different wines with no tasting fee. Their production seems to lean a little towards dry reds, though they've got three or four whites as well. Bottles are in the 15-20 dollar range, except for the Reserves (which they don't open for tasting, and are closer to $40-45). There was one varietal, a Refosco, which I had never tried before. I liked pretty much everything I tasted, and ended up taking a bottle of the Nini (a red blend) and Zinfandel with me. They also stock some interesting local craft beers and have a decent little merchandise shop. For the business - maybe put the fact that you don't have a tasting fee on the web-site...that would have instantly ensured that I chose you over St. Clair :) read more

This is a tasting room, not a restaurant like the location in Las Cruces. At this writing, they are planning to offer gelato in the near future. Still, this place is about the wine. Sweet wines seem to be more popular locally, but the D'Andrea family makes some very good dry wines, both red and white. The Deming tasting room is way off on a little road west of town, surrounded by a desert vineyard. It's not a scenic area but there is a little bit of outdoor seating on a porch that is mostly protected from the wind and dirt that is part of life in Deming. Indoors, there is some seating at a bar, and they add seating for occasional events. The pace tends to be slow and relaxed, with friendly staff walking you through flights. read more

Such a nice time out on our trip to Austin. Sandra was pouring and she was so sweet and kind! The over 300 acres of wine grows a huge variety of reds, whites and port. We especially loved the port paired with chocolate. Really enjoyed our visit. A 'must stop' on a road trip. read more

Amazing wine!! I recommend the nini but it may cause you to nae nae. Great customer service, relaxing atmosphere

Had a nice visit on a rainy day. Cynthia was a great hostess & we enjoyed the tasting & company. Really enjoyed the Shiraz & Port. A must see when in Deming! read more

We are wine people that stop at any winery, anywhere. In some states not known for wine it can be grim stuff. But we loved this winery. Incredible variety of grapes, and there are some good reds, which is the difficult task. The have several nice varietals and blends. And the gelato here is very good. Bravo to this winery!! read more

Great wine. Location is only 2 miles off the highway. Service is great. You were able to sample 5 wines free of charge. Beautiful grounds would be great for weddings or showers. Knowledgeable staff and clean facility. read more

Really a beautiful tasting room and lots of stuff to shop for. The personnel are all very friendly and knowledgeable about wine.,they are very fair with their tasting policy. We tasted and we bought! read more

My wife and I have visited wineries and tasting rooms all over the USA. Luna Rossa in Deming New Mexico was without question the most enjoyable experience we have had. I regret not remembering the gentleman's name that hosted us, however this was Tuesday afternoon, March 14, 2017. We had an absolute blast tasting the excellent wines, (every single one), talking with him and his friend, learning about their unique wines and even touring the vineyards. The afternoon was topped off with a chance visit by the head winemaker stopping in. We bought bottles of our favorites and cannot wait to return home to Vegas and enjoy them. Do not miss this winery. read more

Very friendly. We do a lot of wine tasting and we were very happy with their wines. Coming from out of state, it was nice to have wines where the grapes are all grown in New Mexico. read more

Advertised as a winery, you can't tour the actual winery. You'll only get to see the large, well-stocked gift shop and small tasting bar with lots of good wines to sample. Pricey for quality, I bought a nice 2008 Tempranillo (dry red) for $15. read more

Beautiful, large winery/tasting room with a huge selection of gifts, and delicious wine. Anyone who loves wine should visit Luna Rossa!!!
