New Mexico Wine

Winemaking in New Mexico dates back to the 1600s and has experienced a major rebirth starting in the latter half of the 20th century. Let our brokers be your guides to the best wineries in the Albuquerque area! Savor a glass from one of these local wineries.

  • Casa Rondeña Winery - 733 Chavez Rd, Los Ranchos De Albuquerque, NM 87107
    One of Albuquerque's most highly regarded wineries, Casa Rondeña Winery was established by acclaimed vintner John Calvin in 1995. Their tasting room, open to the public daily from noon until 7 pm, is a great place to sip some of their exceptional wines just minutes from these Albuquerque homes for sale. Casa Rondeña Winery also offers a truly stunning landscape with beautiful architecture, making it a popular wedding venue. 

  • Gruet Winery & Tasting Room - 8400 Pan American Fwy NE, Albuquerque, NM 87113
    The specialty at Gruet Winery is Méthode Champenoise sparkling wines, which are made using traditional methods that promote secondary fermentation in the bottle. Gruet's Pinot Noir and Chardonnay-based sparkling wines have been recognized as some of the best sparkling wines in America, and their Albuquerque tasting room offers charming indoor and outdoor spaces where you can sample their offerings. 

  • Acequia Vineyards & Winery - 240 Reclining Acres Rd, Corrales, NM 87048
    "Acequia" is the Spanish word for the irrigation canal that makes so much of the Rio Grande Valley's wine production possible. It's an apt name for Acequia Vineyards & Winery, a small but beloved winery in Corrales, just a few minutes north of Albuquerque. Owner and winemaker Al Knight recently announced his retirement, which might make this season your last chance to try these outstanding wines. 

  • Sheehan Winery - 303 Romero St NW Suite 110, Albuquerque, NM 87104
    Founded in 2015, Sheehan Winery has quickly risen through the ranks to become one of Albuquerque's best wineries. With vineyards in Corrales, Bosque Farms, and Albuquerque's South Valley, Sheehan Winery is known for its award-winning Merlot, Chardonnay, and Cabernet Sauvignon. You can sip these and many other varieties at Sheehan's Old Town Tasting Room, which just opened in 2021 and is open to walk-ins any time from 11 am to 8 pm daily. 

  • Milagro Vineyards - 985 W Ella Dr, Corrales, NM 87048
    Another excellent winery in the Corrales area north of Albuquerque, Milagro Vineyards makes its wines in the Old World style, barrel-aged in French oak and in the bottle. Every drop of wine they make is created using exclusively Milagro's own grapes, which are grown across the 15 vineyards they own and operate in the Corrales area. The results, from Gruner Veltliner to Syrah, are consistently excellent.

  • Pasando Tiempo Winery & Vineyards - 277 Dandelion Rd, Corrales, NM 87048
    Just as its name suggests, Pasando Tiempo Winery & Vineyards is a great place to pass the time. Voted the top winery in the area by Albuquerque Magazine in 2018, this homey spot is part of the Corrales Wine Loop, and its inviting atmosphere will make you glad to sit and savor every sip. The wines themselves are excellent, and the tasting room is the perfect place for friends and family to gather.
