Barra Vino — Restaurant in Taos

Barra Vino is a magical place, not to be missed, whether you live in Taos or are here visiting. The moment you walk in the door you experience the warmth, the beauty, the good cheer and the good vibes of the space, only to be greeted by the owners themselves, who provide the kindest, most attentive, welcoming service you could find anywhere. You immediately feel as if you are among friends, in a place that feels like home.

There is always good live music to take in, as you sample from an excellent and varied list of wines by the glass, or beer, or artfully conceived frozen fruit drinks (frozées) and wait to be served tasty, creative, lovingly prepared small plates.

There's also a delightful patio out back that looks onto Ledoux Street, Taos's own version of Canyon Road, home to artists for over 100 years, just one block or so from the Taos Plaza.

On nights with live music or an open mic, you really feel a sense of community flood the restaurant. Everyone who shows up is friendly and excited to simply have a good time! Which is exactly what you'll be in for if you spend an evening with Ben and Bliss...

A gem on Ledoux, right next to the Harwood Museum, where one can imbibe in a variety of wine covering the full spectrum of flavor, from buttery chards, to the tannin rich tastes with food options to pair that may sate the most discerning of palates. Live music as well to really “tie the room together”, not unlike Lebowski’s fabled rug. Local sounds from the cultural vortex that is Taos may draw you in like a siren to this oasis. Dog friendly. Outdoor patio seating available. Great atmosphere and a...
