Gruet Winery

The Tasting Room offers a variety Gruet wines (flights, glasses, and bottles) and lite food offerings. I had the Vinters Flight, a sample of full bodied reds. There was a great aroma when they were delivered to the table. I paired that with small Charcuterie plate that had a combination of meat, chese, fruit, veg, nuts and more. A good value when compared to others locations.The tasting room is situated inside a beautiful building with an inviting entrance. The service was friendly and attentive. There is a lot of seating. Starting with bar area tables, a more formal area, a 'barrel room', and also a small private table that can be reserved. Outdoor seating includes a nice cozy patio as well as natural area w/ trees and umbrellas and a rock fountains. Too bad it's next to the freeway, however it was still very enjoyable to dine outside.

Several years ago we ordered several cases of Gruet bubbly for my daughter's wedding from our local wine store. I really didn't pay any attention to where the wine came from -- all I knew then was that it was pretty good. Years later, we spent a month in Albuquerque and "Surprise!" The Gruet Winery is in Albuquerque. So we had to stop in for a tasting--and we headed home with a case and membership in their wine club!Before selecting our case to take home, we ordered a flight of bubbly with a charcuterie board to enjoy between glasses. The place was a bit understaffed the day we were there and they apologized that a few items that were usually included on the charcuterie board were not available -- but that really didn't matter to us as we enjoyed the wine and charcuterie was perfectly fine. If you like good American sparkling wine, you don't have to look all the way to California find one -- they do it perfectly well in New Mexico at the Gruet Winery.

We have always had a wonderful experience at this tasting room. The staff is very knowledgeable and friendly. Our most recent visit acquainted us with Skye, a fabulous server who spent time talking with us both as well as provide outstanding service. The sparkling wines are our favorites and we always come away with a bottle or two. We are also fans of their charcuterie board. If you are in the area, this is a must visit! Make a reservation as they can get busy.

Bottom line: Gruet is still a star and wow have they stepped it up. Eat, drink and be merry here! Service: All the staff have always been pleasant and we really enjoy the events they host. If you aren't on their email list, you should be! Ambiance: I love this place because there are times it's quiet and others there's lots of people. Oh and don't forget to check out the outside seating if that's your thing. There are some wonderful spaces. I like being at the bar or in the back near the wine barrels. On this occasion we had a very special treat and rejoined the wine club because of it. They had an amazing offering of caviar and still + sparkling wine. Check out the pictures below. We really enjoyed ourselves and we can't wait to do it again

A delightful evening on the patio! Fire pit kept us warm, service was AMAZING (thanks, Sam!) and wine was lovely. I enjoy the Brut and Blanc de noir bubbly. Both solid, straightforward and very drinkable. My guest enjoyed the premium bubbly flight & an additional Sauvage. The way to go is ordering by the glass. There is a required corkage fee when purchasing a bottle to enjoy on site. It changed my approach to the evening, but nonetheless, a delightful experience. A perfectly peaceful Friday night, stars above, family and good wine. I highly recommend.

Love this spot for some wine tasting in the NE heights! They've got a great charcuterie board to pair with the wine options, and staff are friendly and welcoming. The whole environment is casual and chill, and it doesn't tend to get overly packed or noisy.

Went to a dinner at Gruet with a friend. They bring in a chef to create and serve the dinner . Your alcohol is a glass of their brut champagne ... it was delicious. Ms Martinez is a private chef. The dinner of posole, salad, bread and dessert (mini pumpkin donuts) was absolutely delicious. They listed the time from 6 to 8M. The seating area is small as is the parking lot. Not being a Member of the Gruet Wine Club we didn't know the setup. Turned out OK. Shared a table in the bar with a gal and her boyfriend. Meagan is a Club Member at Gruet and a residential realtor as was her friend. Had a delightful dinner with great conversation. My disappointment was that there was only one glass of champagne. The cost of the event was $45 plus tax... essentially $50. Thought it was a bit pricey. Did share a gless of the Rose wine with my friend. We paid for it. The Staff at Gruet was exceptional. We agreed to go back for a tasting in the near future.

I recommend doing their sparkling wine flight, as this is what they are known for.We had a reservation to taste at the "cave" room. When we got there there service was a bit lacking, having to wait to even be greeted and to get someone to take our order after being seated. The girl who served us did not seem too friendly at the time but then realized she just had a dry personality and as we engaged her in conversation, we got to see her trying, smiling more and more pleasant.I really enjoyed the flight, which included a sparkling rose. The pours are generous, and after we enjoyed a glass of the one we liked most. The tasting rooms and outside are very nice, clean, and would love to go back to try some other of their wines and have another glass of their bubbly.

Loved this cute wine tasting room! The servers were so nice and the flights of champagne were a great price!

This was our second visit to the tasting room. Like the first time we had a lovely time, my bride of 30 years and I. The wine was of course amazing. We had the Reserve Still Wine Flight and a cheese board. Nothing special about the cheese board thought is was nicely built and presented, but the atmosphere and wine were beyond compare: absolutely outstanding. Our server was Sam and he was a joy to work with. [Insert exclamation points if you like. I think they are overused, but here are a few for those that like them. !!!!] the service in our previous visit was also outstanding. We had a great time talking the afternoon away with the person we interacted with that day, I think Cliff (it was a weekday midafternoon: he wasn't neglecting other customers).
