Heart of the Desert Pistachios & Wine in Alamogordo offers a warm and inviting atmosphere with friendly and knowledgeable staff. The Pistachio wine is a must-try, along with the delicious pistachio coffee and Vanilla Praline Pistachios. Guests can enjoy free wine tastings and a tour of the pistachio harvesting and processing operation, guided by the informative staff. The outdoor patio area is ideal for relaxing with free tastings, overlooking the pistachio groves, although a fan or mister would enhance comfort during warmer days. Pet owners should note that furry friends are only allowed on the patio. The shop features local cheese and chili mix, as well as a wide selection of artisanal cheeses, cured meats, jewelry, kitchenware, and hosting essentials. Visitors can also indulge in wine flights with four generous pours, including reds, whites, and sweeter options. The lively atmosphere is complemented by live entertainment on Wednesdays, making it a fun stop. The staff, including Dallas, Lisa, Tara, and Sabrina, are known for their warmth and hospitality, ensuring guests have a memorable experience. Overall, the charming small-town vibe and friendly service make this a highly recommended destination for anyone traveling through southern New Mexico.
