Spent a delightful afternoon here with two friends. As local friend said we should go here instead of the tasting room in downtown Ruidoso, and I’m so glad we did! We did tastings, and I love that you get to choose the wines you’d like to try. My friends chose to sit inside the tasting room, which was nice, but it’s a small space and was busy.
