👍 Very busy at 4:30! The gentleman at the bar asked if I had a Reservation, but they were able to accommodate me as I was a singleton. Sat outside and the lavender was heavenly smelling. Winemaker flight was good! People often mention wine, great, tasting, time, experience, love, room, wife,

    I super love this place! Very cozy place to enjoy wine. Staff is very friendly, attentive and knowledgeable. They have a wide variety of still and sparkling whites, a few reds. They offer wine tasting, wine by the glass or enjoy a bottle for yourself or with a group. You can even join their wine club for extra perks. The place is neat and the restroom is well maintained. I was very impressed how clean the main winery area/storage area is. It’s off limits to the public but I had a great opportunity to get a glimpse of the heart of the winery- where they make/store their wine. It was amazing. I even had a better appreciation how great their wine was after that tour! Come see this place And you will love it!

    This tasting room is as lovely and enjoyable as any in Napa. Our guide, Zack was well informed and very helpful. We were not rushed, spent a great time with delish wine. The flights are generous ad well priced.

    Gorgeous Outdoor Patio, love that they have grape vines as you walk to the entrance… Absolutely a classic spot. I love Gruet and have enjoyed their Sparkling Wines all over, but there is just something special about sitting next to the barrels and hearing the traditions & stories about Gruet from the employees. A must stop for any wine & champagne lover! 🥂

    We usually LOVE Gruet but today was very disappointing. We have a membership with them and have been in a handful times but not huge wine fans, my wife especially. Anyway, I started getting my wife into wine and she loved this place. We had been a few times with a friend and the service was always so awesome. Savannah always took time to explain to my wife the different types of wine, since she was new to it all. Today I went in my my membership alottment and tried asking Magdalena about different types of whites that my wife may like, especially since the choices were very white heavy. She was rude, not helpful, and I felt like she just wanted me to leave. So I got whatever was on the pre-made list and left. Definitely not the encounter I was expecting or used to but this women is not a pleasure to deal with. I’m hoping that next quarter, someone else is there when I arrive. Seriously, if it wasn’t Savanah I’d go to Total Wine. They have a better selection and way better customer service than Magdelena.

    The wine is so good! Location is strange as it is off the highway in like an industrial setting with no Mountain View… but their patio is phenomenal and relaxing and the inside is beautiful and fully makes the vibe great. Staff was so nice! Highly Recc visiting, would Recc during evening for fire pit

    Charming patio at this winery that specializes in sparkling wines. My group found them too dry for our tastes. Our bartender was very knowledgeable about the wines. Christina was very helpful and gave us great recommendations of other things to do in Albuquerque and Santa Fe.

    The wine is wonderful, the service is prompt and competent, and the food options pair nicely with the wine. Our server, Olivia, did a particularly wonderful job, and helped us pick out a case of individual bottles. Truly, an excellent showcase of New Mexican wine. We will definitely be back!

    Loved it. The atmosphere was just perfect for us after our long trip. Very relaxing, the food was delicious and the wine is really good. Even joined the wine club.

    We booked a VIP tasting room slot to select a sparkling wine for our wedding toast. When we arrived, we were tossed in the bar with the people using a winery as an excuse to day drink and told that they were too busy to do the VIP tasting. This was supposed to be an experience for the two of us together in the lead up to our wedding, and this place couldn't be bothered to do the thing we booked weeks in advance. Plus, the wine kind of sucks. It's nothing special.

  • 5/5 Sonja A. 11 months ago on Google
    Gorgeous experience tasting still and sparkling wines on par with the best of Napa or Willamette Valley, but with the charm, magic and absolute nonsnobbery of New Mexico. And their wine club is super approachable and a great deal. I know they blend grapes from other regions, but I hope there will eventually be a designation for their 100% NM-grown wines; I’ll buy ‘em up!🍾

    They have re done this space into a really nice tasting room. The first time we came here years ago we had a bad experience but we had such a great experience this last time. They have a great selection of wine flights to find out what you like. They have a cool shop to grab some great gifts too.

    Unfortunately my experience was not like the other reviews. We weren’t greeted when we walked in, felt like an inconvenience to the bar tender when being shown to a table and to top it off we didn’t get a server after waiting about 20 min. We ended up leaving and going elsewhere.

    I booked a VIP room with a charcuterie board for 5 ladies. We had a great time! It was beautiful and comfortable. The staff was great from start to finish! I would definitely suggest a visit for a nice girls day!

    Good wine - beautiful facility - easy to get to.

  • 1/5 Christopher A. 1 year ago on Google
    Terrible experience. Reserved a room for a tasting for my 1 year anniversary with my gf and it was also her birthday. We were put in a dirty room with napkins on the ground and crumbs everywhere. Even the server said he was "embarrassed". He also didn't bother to unwrap our $100 charcuterie board...we had to do it ourselves. Had to request napkin and water. Would not recommend to anyone and our special day was ruined.

    my wife and I decided to stop in and give the local wine a taste before we started our journey back to Texas. The lady that helped us was very friendly and knowledgeable. She was able to answer every question my wife had. We ended up leaving with 2 bottles and 2 glasses. We didn't realize it when we showed up as it was a spur of the moment thing but they strongly suggest making a reservation. We were at the counter the whole time but if we had made a reservation we probably could have gotten a nice sitting area to relax and take our time.
