Black Mesa Winery

I absolutely love their ciders! While not overly sweet, they have a good balance between dry and sweet with lots of flavor. I had them for the first time last October when I was out this way, and I've been thinking of the cider since then. So glad I was able to stop and grab 4 bottles.

Great place to check out during a visit to Taos or Santa Fe! Charming spot with super friendly staff and visitors and great wine! Easy stop right off the main road with plenty of parking. We loved spending a couple of hours here!

I honestly didn't even know this was a chill place to come and have a drink. Cool space, even better outdoors. A few good beers on draft, wine and cider are available. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Will definitely come back.

Used to stop by here every time I was driving down from Taos to Albquerque. It's an easy stop and charming. And the wine is delicious as well as unique. After some years missing out, I was craving the chocolate wine in particular, so I thought to myself, why not order some? Thank goodness they provide shipping to diverse locations (those that accept wine by mail; not all states do); and I was lucky to receive two amazing bottles of wine. The chocolate wine (called "Black Beauty") was just as scrumptious and rich in flavor as I recalled. I also tried out the Pinot Noir which was surprisingly sweet and layered with fruity flavor. It's been great to have a touch of New Mexico in the house again. Thank you!

Walked in to a cute sitting area and a super cute bar area. Outdoors I found a huge seating with a live band and ALL THE HUMMINGBIRDS in the world in one spot!!! The bartenders were funny and super helpful. I got a wine flight that was all over the map but fun to try. It was a little rainy and some mosquitoes (they have spray I didn't see it). When I head back up to the mountains I'll go back!!

Stayed overnight in RV using Harvest Host membership. Nice level site on gravel. Noisy due to close proximity to highway with rumble strips to enhance the noise. No hookups but that's fairly typical with Harvest Host wineries.Wine tasting room is quite nice with pleasant outdoor sitting area. We tried two of their dry red wines and enjoyed them! Bought some to take with us. Really nice folks!

Conejito White is a great wine to sample right now (Oct., 2022); just the right blend of Riesling & Sauvignon Blanc reminds me of a late harvest dessert wine. And for $20, it's a steal. Have an attached photo of who greats you on the walk up to the tasting room.Their "guard cat" rules as the photos imply. This winery is unique in that it loves to use lavender in wines. Its a great change from time to time. You can buy online as well.Oh, in summer, they have a ton of hummingbirds to watch as you sip! Enjoy.

Quick and dirty:Decent wine, beautiful setting. LAVENDER BLISS.Slow and tidy:I stopped in with my family on the way back to Albuquerque from a little visit to Taos. It was a bit busy, with a small-ish farmer's market/craft sale type thing happening at the same time, along with some live music.It was still mid-Covid times, and I wanted to do a tasting, so there were some things to get a handle on. A certain number of people were allowed inside at a time, distancing and masking rules were followed. A desired tasting list was compiled, the tasting board was assembled, one paid at the register and took their tasting board (or bottle or glass or cider) outside to enjoy. It was lovely out so that was a nice stroke of luck. And the wine itself....varied and interesting. As said before....the LAVENDER BLISS. Wowee. I love me some lavender flavor, so I was keen to try it. And it was spectacular! I bought a bottle to bring home with me and bemoaned weight limits and luggage size preventing me from bring MORE home with me. It is delicious and I wish I had access to it from here!The staff were lovely and friendly and helpful, and I greatly enjoyed our short visit there. If you happen to find yourself driving by, pay them a visit and enjoy an adult beverage.

Great spot to relax and have a glass of wine or cider. The outdoor area is very nice. Really liked the dry cider.

Great place! Very friendly and knowledgeable staff in a beautiful setting. The wines we tried were surprisingly complex and drinkable. They are not inexpensive, but we had a lovely time and will go back for sure!
