Heart of the Desert Pistachios & Wine in Alamogordo provides a welcoming experience with friendly and knowledgeable staff. The Pistachio wine is a must-try, along with the delicious pistachio coffee and Vanilla Praline Pistachios. The shop features local cheese and chili mix, and the patio area is perfect for relaxing with free wine and pistachio tastings. Visitors can enjoy live entertainment on Wednesdays and browse a beautiful gift shop. The staff, including Pres and Lynne, are very welcoming and go out of their way to make guests feel comfortable. The winery offers wine flights with four generous pours, catering to different tastes like reds, whites, or sweeter options. The shop is a treasure trove of artisanal cheeses, cured meats, locally grown pistachios, jewelry, kitchenware, and hosting essentials. The outdoor patio overlooks pistachio groves and provides a peaceful setting, although a fan or mister would improve comfort during warmer days. Pet owners should note that furry friends are only allowed on the patio. Overall, the warm, small-town charm and friendly service make this a highly recommended stop for anyone passing through southern New Mexico. Visitors can also enjoy free tastings, a wine club with discounts, and an olive oil and balsamic vinegar bar, making it a must-visit destination.
