Very nice experience. The tasting room person was very knowledgeable and friendly. This winery had no charge and unlimited tastings so the opportunity to try a wide variety of the wines existed...

Lovely place, definitely worth the detour! We were driving to Taos, saw the sign, and decided to stop. The wine was delicious and it was fun to relax in the beautiful winery and listen to the staff talk about the wine and how she ended up in the area. The tastings were free, and we ended up buying a few bottles to enjoy in Taos.

Excellent winery worth a stop if you are traveling between Santa Fe and Taos. The wine here is excellent and the tasting room is unpretentious. They have a large selection of wines to taste and don’t force you into buying a flight, which we liked. We took home bottles of their Chardonnay and Rose. We also really liked the Viognier and Tempranillo.

My wife & I had a wonderful time tasting the wines. The staff was very helpful, recommending the order, so that we didn't overload our taste buds. It is a beautiful place with delicious wines.

I'm not really a big wine fan, but these wines were truly delicious; and very different form what il used to! The red and white port wines are both absolutely delicious!
