Las Cruces wine tour: Three wineries, guide included
Three wineries, one afternoon, no driving required
A guided wine tour through New Mexico and El Paso wineries where you spend roughly an hour at each of three stops: tasting wines, listening to live music, and learning local history from an expert guide. The tour runs five hours total with an air-conditioned vehicle, bottled water and snacks included. Tasting fees at each winery range from $5 to $20. Minimum age is 21.
Step-by-step itinerary
Visit three New Mexico wineries
- Explore El Paso's only vineyard
- Visit New Mexico's oldest winery
- Enjoy colorful tasting room and vineyard
The experience
The shuttle picks you up and handles the route while you focus on the wine. Each stop (El Paso's only vineyard, New Mexico's oldest winery, and a colorful tasting room with an adjacent vineyard and pecan orchard) offers its own character and flavor profile. You'll taste reds, rosés and whites across the afternoon, with time built in to linger over a glass, catch live music between tastings, take photos and talk with other guests.
Your guide shares stories about the region's wine history and offers tasting tips so you understand what you're drinking. The pace is deliberate: roughly an hour at each location means you're not rushing through. Bottled water and snacks travel with you, so you stay comfortable in the desert heat. The vehicle is air-conditioned, which matters when you're moving between outdoor venues in the sun.
Tasting fees are separate and range from $5 to $20 at each stop depending on what you order. The guide is there to deepen the experience, not to sell it. You choose what and how much to taste at each winery.
