She guided us around the farm, explained what we could check out, and helped us try different ice cream flavors. She even showed us how they make their pistachio ice cream, which was really interesting. Thank you to Sabrina and Lacy for making our visit so enjoyable.

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.

Our server, Allison, was very friendly, knowledgeable, and attentive. The pleasant owner showed up a little later and we enjoyed talking with him while we finished our tasting.

Added bonus, the patio is pup friendly in case you want to take your fur baby. Note: New Mexican wines are a hidden gem!

Disappointing meal on this visit…read more We have been here multiple times, and usually order the same things. I have previous 5* reviews here. I'm hoping tonight was an off night. The insalata paolo was half the size it normally had been. It's supposed to be a salad for 2, tonight it was a salad for 1. The salmon pasta was plain, the salmon was raw, and seemed to be deep fried. We sent it back, and after a long wait we got another piece of oily deep fried salmon that was raw on the inside. The focaccia bread served with the pasta was rock hard and stale. We gave up and checked out. The server seemed busy and rushed, but was nice enough to take the salmon off the bill.
