We visited the Noisy Water in Ruidosa, and were happy the see one here in Cloudcroft. Great place to gather & visit and taste great wines. Especially love the red & Hatch chili wines.... Very unique. Fun place for sure! read more

Noisy Water Winery - Wine Tasting Room Near Me - Cloudcroft, New Mexico

Nice place to enjoy a nice glass of wine, cider, or beer while enjoying the beautiful Cloudcroft weather. There's seating inside and out. This place is divided into two sections, one section is the store where you can buy various snack items, oils, and souvenirs. The other section has the bar, here you can enjoy various items such as their charcuterie board which is delicious or buy some bottles of wine to-go or to enjoy in store. The service is always friendly and they do have various specials/deals on certain days of the week. Although this place is a lot smaller than the one in ruidoso, it's still a very enjoyable place to stop by and share a bottle of wine with your favorite friend/relatives. read more

My husband and I love coming here for a monthly day date! The wine is tasty, the salsa platter is divine and the snacks they sell on the premise are diverse and delicious! We love seeing Sara every time we come in and she always takes great care of us. Highly recommend you stop in if you are passing through Cloudcroft, or if you're local and want to treat yourself! read more

Loved this quaint place! We were on a getaway trip with family and couldn't resist trying this winery. I'm so glad we made a point to go. Their wine bottle prices weren't ridiculously high and they offered charcuterie platters and cheese trays- yum! My husband and I each had 5 tastings to better sample their varietals. We were both floored with the Demigod. Their curtain call was also made our top 3 list. If you go, you just try their hatch chili wine!! While we both preferred their green hatch, the red was different and might better suit others palates. Their sweet wines are definitely sweet and would please those with that as their preference. We loved this place so much we became wine members. Daniel was amazing! He was very knowledgeable, down to earth and made us feel like VIPs from the get go. read more

This is a cute, little wine spot in Cloudcroft! They are also in Ruidoso, along with other smaller towns in New Mexico like Alto and Red River. This location is in the middle of a few shops. It's right next to Burro Street Bakery (which has amazing pies BTW!). We decided to do a wine tasting. I can't recall if they have different options for the wine tastings. We chose five wines for $5. I think that's a decent price! The samples are on the smaller side but you can't beat the price. They have tables inside and outside, along with a bar area. We stayed in the bar area. My favorite wines were the Mango Tango and the Moscato. We tried some red wines like black cherry but I wasn't a fan. Nothing against the winery, I really don't like how red wines from anywhere taste. My bf liked the red wines, though. We bought three bottles of wine to take home, Moscato, Mango Tango and black cherry. We also received some Asiago cheese free with the wine purchase! That was a really nice touch. :) It tastes good on top of crackers...and of course with the wine! The white wines go down smoothly on a hot El Paso day. You could even add fruit in them like mango, peaches, grapes, etc...sort of like a bellini if you will. The customer service was excellent here. Talking to the employee was like catching up with an old friend. She was super kind and helpful. She knew a lot about the wines and the area. She told us she grew up nearby. Definitely worth the two-hour drive from El Paso. I would come back in a heartbeat. Guess what? They also sell their wine online! I'd still drive here anyway! read more

Daniel is incredible-- make sure to get him for your tasting. He has a genius "secret" concoction he calls "The Atitude Adjustment" which is not only tasty but the most bang for your buck when you grab a glass on the patio. The establishment itself has fantastic wines and respectably unique options like a spicy pepper wine and mango white. You can't miss this place. Or letting Daniel adjust your attitude. read more

The wines were awesome, but Lindsey was what made it the bombdiggity. She was knowledgeable, witty, and engaging. The best wines are, in order: absolution (omfg) and dirty. Go here, you won't be disappointed (but stay away from the fahking hot salsas)... read more

I'm updating this because I re-read what I wrote and it doesn't properly convey how awesome this business is. Highly recommend a visit. Welcoming and unique. I have visited multiple times from Texas over the past year and COVID has impacted this business (obviously) but they continue to rise to the occasion! Unique gifts, quality wine & cheese pairings, other nifty gifts. I've been a couple of times and they were open for purchases, but closed for wine tastings. FINALLY- we popped in to just grab a bottle of wine and the girl behind the counter lightly mentions they are allowed to do wine tastings again! So, naturally, I said yes. Coldest wine tasting I've ever participated in since we had to stay outside on the patio, BUT well worth it! I'd like to mention this was about 20 minutes before they closed down, I made zero mention of tastings, and was ready to make a purchase and leave. Due to the phenomenal service from both, Lily and Jessica, we were able to successfully participate in a wine tasting and had a great experience. We'll be coming back soon!! read more

Noisy Water Winery - Wine tasting yum! - Wine Tasting Room Near Me - Cloudcroft, New Mexico

Nice little tasting room but they are grossly understaffed which took away from any customer service that could have been offered to sell the actual wine. The gift/cheese shop has some nice products from New Mexico. The green Chile wine was enjoyed by my party but after all the hassle to get any service or even a pour let alone any information or history on the wine we ended up paying for our gift items without purchasing any wine read more

Absolutely fantastic experience and really great wine. They have some of the best Reds I've tasted.

Great wine tasting experience! The tasting includes your choice of 3 different wines and finished with their famous green or red Chile wine. So technically 4 tastings total. I recommend the green Chile over the red. It tastes like a sweet white with a kick of green chile. In times of COVID-19 they have front patio seating with heat lamps near by, but still recommend dressing warm to sit outside this time of year! They also have various cheese/meat/salsa platters to pair with the wine! read more

We were absolutely delighted by our time visiting this winery in early June 2021. My husband and I had just gotten to town on a 10-day vacation all over NM & AZ. We were a bit tired from traveling from TN, but we wandered into this spot and found it to be a perfect low-key way to wrap up our afternoon before dinner. Lily greeted us and asked if we wanted to do a tasting. Having never had wine from NM, we were for it. At first we were concerned you only got 3 tastings, as we're used to tasting in TN where you receive 5-8 tastings because everything is served in a communion cup. We were not disappointed though when we found that each tasting was a decent pour so that you actually had enough to truly try each wine you selected. Lily gave us an overview and left us to peruse the list, and then she was excellent and knowledgeable about answering our questions to help us make our selections. Everything we tried was delicious! We also tried some of the chile wine at the end (they offer that as a bonus 4th tasting) and learned that, as Lily put it, "it's unusual to find a winery in NM that DOESN'T have a green chile wine!" I can't say it was our favorite, but we also are not used to consuming much green chile. They had snacks we could have purchased, but we knew we were heading to dinner and didn't want to eat anything. It was also close to closing time by the time we finished the tasting and didn't want to be THOSE people, otherwise we probably would have enjoyed a glass of one of our favorites before leaving. We had the best time chatting with Lily while we tasted, and we were so impressed by her service. She was the only one working and the place was BUSY, especially for a Wednesday afternoon seemingly in the middle of nowhere. She managed to tend to everyone while also being friendly and spending time connecting with each customer (though I would still argue that she should have some help despite her terrific ability to rock being a one-woman host). It was truly a lovely experience and a great way to kick off our vacation! read more

I want to be honest. I rate places based on the whole experience, not just what their specialty is. This is a wine bar that sells wine from their winery. It has a cute side store that sells wine and kitchen goods, souvenirs, etc. The staff is super nice, the place is super cute, the ambiance is super chill, they even had a musician singing and playing outside. Overall a lovely experience. For the wine, unfortunately I'm very picky and I really only like dry, bold reds. I sampled eight of their dryest and boldest and found them all to be just okay, not very distinctive. I didn't get a chance to go back and try their other wines. Maybe next time I'm in Cloudcroft. read more

We went on a summer Sunday for wine tasting and we were so glad we did. The wine was very good and the charcuterie board was a generous size. We brought bavk home (in Demver) one bottle of the Best Caliente (Green Chile wine) and we wish we had brought back q dozen! read more

So many delicious wines! We tried a number of great red wines. The Absolution is the best wine I've ever tasted! The Dirty is a great mid-price choice, but so many amazing beverages! The employees were friendly, knowledgeable, and fun to discuss wine with. Go see Lindsay. She made it an extra amazing experience! read more

Autumn is amazing and such a sweet spirit! My family has been frequenting here enough to be recognized as almost locals and we love the winery. Autumn took care of me and my sisters during this thanksgiving week so we could have some wine and good sister binding! Definitely a stop to make while in CloudCroft! read more

Loved that establishment, wine was perfect to the point I decided to buy bottle of my favorite. Staff is very welcoming and inside is extremely clean and give a great vibe to hang out inside or outside (they have a cute patio you can sit; I think pups are welcome there too!). read more

Cute tasting room with a huge selection. The bartender was extremely friendly and knowledgeable. I think tasting of 3 or 4 wines was $7. They have indoor and outdoor seating. They have a huge selection of cheese so you can order a plate on premises or take it to go. They also had an annex with other items for sale like salsa, queso Blanco, and cornbread mix. Stop by while you are in town. read more

I've been a long-time customer of the noisy water winery and each time I have gone it has been a phenomenal experience. I drive from El Paso Texas just to come here.Today I was very excited to visit and was rudely greeted by a woman I've never met before. She seemed extremely Irritated as if she did not want to be there. I've never been treated so badly before. She was very sour. I think her name is Panise? She's a short thick Hispanic woman with dark hair. BEWARE of the crappy attitude and the eye rolls. read more

Such a great experience! Our server, Ashley, was so knowledgeable and helpful. She really made our time here great because she had the best explanations, tips, and specialty drink options to give us. (Attitude adjustment) I have been here once before and did not have a great experience (during covid) and thought the wine was quite bad too, outside of bad service. But everything my partner and I tried today was absolutely amazing as well as service!! 12/10!!! We left with 5 bottles of great wine & a free block of cheese!! Also you cannot beat $5 wine tastings! read more

Really enjoyed the wine tasting! The charcuterie board was really nice as well. But most of all the folks that work at this location are really nice and very knowledgeable about the wines. read more

Fantastic Wines! Very good service and a big selection of Wines plus Olives Oils and Vinergarites! I loved the Wines and the great service. The mountain town of Cloudcroft is charming! Lots of cool shops for shopping and there is a fabulous Mexican eatery as well. I highly recommend a visit to Cloudcroft which is not far from the city of Alamogordo, NM. They also have a popular Restaurant for great Barbecue that I have not tried yet. . read more

Big fan. Went out the the enchanted vine location and has a blast. Wild life and fun animals. Lots of great wine and activities. Great service. read more

Great wine, Lily provided top notch service and was very knowledgeable about their wine. Became Wine Club members and look forward to our first shipment. read more

this was the first winery I had visited, and it was great. Lindsay was amazing, my friend and I gave her full creative liberty with our sampler board and we loved it. She also picked perfect wines for each of us despite us having complete opposite preferences. read more

Cloudcroft Store is wonderful. Stopped there just before Christmas (and during COVID) and the place was a wonderful romantic experience. Cold as all get out that day on the porch, but they had the heaters going and were really helpful. Awesome bartender/host staff (especially Lili). Very friendly - asked our names - and really helped us on choosing some great wines. Also had a tasty charcuterie board. Underpriced if anything - so very good bargain. Great wines, especially "Yo Mama" and the Demi-Cabernet. Ended up buying an entire case. Highly recommend. Am so glad they stayed open during COVID (and they kept it safe). read more

First off the wine tasting and ambiance of the store is great, HOWEVER....the lady helping me was very informative about the cheeses they carry and how some pair with the wines they sell. With that being said I tried the Asiago which was great with the wine I was sampling so I said I would take a block, she said " your in luck, that is buy 1 get 1 free"..cool. So i get back home 2 hours later and discover the cheese expired on 6/13/19...now I know the dates aren't always accurate, but to sell out dated cheese without saying it is on sale because of the date borders on Fraud. What a shame that ignorance or arrogance ruined a great experience. Will NOT be going back there any time soon. Beware, check the dates because obviously they DON'T!!! read more

Our server Daniel was amazing. He is knowledgeable about all the products and was able to select wines based on what our wine preferences. We will make this a must go to place on our future girls trips. read more

This is my very favorite place in New Mexico to come and bring guests. What makes this location my favorite is Lily. She is always here and always has a smile. She immediately recognizes and refers to my family by name which keeps us coming back. We love the wine and we love Lily! read more

Only $5 for a great tasting! The chips and salsa with cheese were on point! Lily gave us great advice for picking out wine to go with our favorite home meals for us and our loved ones! 10 out of 10, would go again! Also, they let dogs relax there.. thats how you know they are legit! read more

Fun place to try wine and cheese... Good helpful staff..... Cheese was yummy and wine tasting is fine....

This is a fun little place to sample local wines, cheeses, salsas and our family favorite olive oils and balsamic vinegars. I always bring back wines to gift and keep all the vinegar for myself because we go through so much of it. If you're ever in Cloudcroft, visit because there's a little bit of something for everyone! read more

I had been here before after moving back to southern New Mexico. I will be clear, the wine, cheese, and oils are great and the ambience is beautiful. It's a nice little spot in the shopping center. However, I felt the customer service was a bit lacking when I visited today. When I went in, the tables were full and I spoke to the lady at the front and informed her my husband and I did want to wine taste there. I asked if they took reservations as the tables were full and she said "No just come back in 15-20 minutes". Now I understand most places don't do reservations so I informed her again we did want to wine taste and asked if she could write my name if I waited outside on the bench that is DIRECTLY in front of their door. The reason I asked for this is because the Cloudcroft shops are one where customers walk right in to shops and while there are some benches, one might think another shopper is simply resting and not in line. We did pass at least 3-4 other restaurants and they were all taking names and forming lines which I think is the most appropriate response considering the COVID challenges and social distancing. When I explained my position, the lady responded again, "We don't take reservations". I ended up just waiting inside the restaurant which was not a comfortable experience as I prefer not to put pressure on the other patrons. Mind you, there were only 4 tables set up. While we got a table and wine, it left a sour experience and I felt the service we received afterward was abrupt. I am not sure if I will go back. Would offer a suggestion that if the wine room will not at least form some sort of substantive line for customers, please understand that this may result in customers waiting to be served. And would also recommend for the workers to not parrot the same responses to customers who are only trying to support their businesses. read more

Bad service... gave us a charcuterie board on a styrofoam to go box. Only tended to our table when we waived them down. Rushed us because they closed within the hour and blatantly ignored us when we asked for napkins. Almost refused to redo the 25$ board. read more

My girlfriend and I love to escape to Cloudcroft every time we need a day trip. And the highlight of our trip is always the wine tasting. Usually it's an amazing experience but unfortunately this last time we were there, a short Hispanic girl working the bar just made the experience unforgettable and definitely not in a positive way. She had a sour face from the moment we walked in and was completely rude through out the entire time we were visiting. Usually we buy a bottle after the wine tasting but we decided to go across the street to a liquor store that sells the winery's bottles and bought it from them instead. Hopefully she's not there next time. Would hate to drive hours just for the trip to be ruined by her attitude again. read more

This place was very cute and dog friendly! The lady that was at the bar giving on the $5 wine samples was very nice and knowledgable about the area. You get 3 samples for $5 and a free chile wine sample at the end. They also have locally made cheese, olive oils and vinegars. read more

In from out of town. Incredible wine. I have wine tasted my whole life and their wine was absolutely amazing. Sonnie was our Bartender and was the absolute best! She made our experience fun and engaging! Thank you for a wonderful experience! read more

Love this little winery. $5 wine tasting, great service, cheese, and olive oil. Highly recommend the Tightey Whitey, Big Legs, the Port wines. The bourbon Gouda, garden vegetable cheddar, and the mango habanero cheese! Will definitely be coming back to this great spot! read more
