Rio Grande Vineyard & Winery

Definitely the winery with the best view of the Organ Mountains! Enjoy a great flight or a glass of wine on their patio as you watch the sun set over the beautiful Organ Mountains and listen to live music. This vineyard and winery has it all. Even though the space in the tasting room is lovely, you will find most of the customers out back at the numerous tables. Staff is happy to assist with your selections and bring them to you so you can sit back and relax. Wine tastings are pick 4 for $12. This gem is nestled between the pecan orchards off Highway 28.

Beautiful winery tasting room with indoor and outdoor seating areas thoughtfully decorated. Winery sits 300-400 yards off NM 28, with rows of vines filling this space. Upon close examination, each wine row is different varietal (Sangiovese right next to Viognier) that nicely showcases itself in their offerings, relatively dry whites, rose's, and reds that are blends of 5-6 varietals. I'm guessing they source these varietals from various vineyards around this largely agricultural area as there is not enough area under vine in front of the tasting room to support the total production of Rio Grande Winery.Staff is super friendly and knowledgeable. Last night they were alternating between greeting guests as they entered the door, and sitting outside with guests watching the sun set against the mountains. A truly wonderful vista and large enough for large parties.Food offering was pretty standard for a wine tasting room. All catered stuff such as small charcuterie box, hummus and pretzel chips (were out last night), small cheese pizza; some sweets; and of course wine flights. I bought a bottle of their red blend and a charcuterie box (~ $50 with tip). All the wines looked to be in $20-$30 range and the food was all in the $7.50-$15 range. Hours are 2pm to 8pm. Recommend getting there about 6 to open a bottle and watch the sun set with some snacks ... really nice spot!!

Love having Ryan as a sever!! He is very courteous and has great knowledge about the wines! He also remembers my favorite wine!!

Jim and Jonny led us through a wonderful exploration of their wines. We had a lot of fun conversation. Great service, ambiance, and a nice soft pretzel!

Found this place on a Saturday evening and really glad we did. A country band was playing outside where they have tons of seating and a large cement area where plenty of dancing happens.The staff was friendly as were the other patrons. I gather they do free line dancing lessons every Thursday evening. For the wine, I ended with a glass of white that was dry, crisp and tasty.

Beautiful facility with indoor and outdoor seating. Enjoyed the wine flight and the little charcuterie board is delightful. We tried the alfajores cookie off the desert menu and loved it! Service was spot on, our server was attentive and knowledgeable. Would have liked to play pickleball if it weren't so windy outside.

Rio grande wineryMixed reviewThe winery is located outside of Las Cruces. It has an open view of the Organ Mountains. The facility is clean with an expansive bar and a lovely open patio along the back. They often have a live band and plenty of room for dancing. The female bartender was quick to serve us water but then disappeared. After about 20 minutes I went up to the bar to order. She informed me Flights were not available because they were too busy. I went back to my table to confer with my partner. We decided to purchase the most expensive bottle, not knowing which one we would like. I went immediately back to bar. As she was opening a bottle for another customer, I asked a question about taking the unused portion home. After she tended to her current customer, she walked past me to take care of another customer. Then she walked past me again to take care of another customer. Then she took another! I was standing there the whole time with my credit card in my hand. Was she purposely ignoring me? It sure seemed like it. I was tempted to leave but we had met friends there. Finally a male employee came up to take my order. The wine was good but not worth the price tag. During this time we ordered food from Leo's Far Out Tacos Truck. Our 3 street tacos and 1 chicken burrito took 35 minutes! It was tasty but the wait was way too long for a food truck. Next time we'll eat before going.

Very good service and quality of wine. The facilities are designed beautifully to allow for small and large groups to enjoy the ambiance and service. Lovely place for small and large gatherings

The wine has improved significantly since my last visit. Service was as usual, very good. Ambiance as always was excellent.

Remarkable wines, first rate venue with breathtaking views of the Organ Mountains, live music and food trucks. An A+.
