Enjoy partially covered outdoor seating when the weather hits perfect, but the champagne tasting room offers the perfect ambiance to taste and compare all the fabulous varieties of this label. The bar area at entrance is great to see and be seen. The service is spectacular, as are the wines. Santé, Salud, Cheers!
We recently visited this winery with close friends who are members and who have consistently had wonderful experiences here in the past. They were excited to bring us along during our visit from California, as we live in wine country ourselves and truly appreciate high-quality wineries and hospitality.
Unfortunately, our experience was significantly impacted by our server, Danielle. From the start, her mannerisms and actions made us feel rushed and unwelcome. The service felt curt and dismissive, which detracted from what should have been a relaxed and enjoyable tasting. Having visited many wineries in California, we can honestly say this was the first time we’ve encountered service of this nature, and it was disappointing given the reputation our friends had shared.
That said, the wines themselves were outstanding, and the atmosphere of the winery was beautiful and inviting. It’s clear that a lot of care goes into the wine and the overall setting, which made the contrast in service even more noticeable.
We would consider visiting again in the future because of the quality of the wine and the experience our friends have had previously, but we would request a different server. We hope this feedback is taken constructively, as the winery has so much to offer and the service should match the excellence of the wines and ambiance.
I love how the tasting room feels cozy and is welcoming to Club members and other guests. The staff is attentive without being overbearing and they enjoy sharing knowledge about the wines.
This was our first visit to Gruet Winery. We had such a wonderful time in their tasting room! The atmosphere was relaxed and inviting, the perfect spot to sit, play a fun game, and enjoy a flight of their excellent wines. The staff was incredibly knowledgeable and friendly, helping us choose wines we truly loved. Every detail made the experience special. We left with smiles (and a case of their fine products!) and can’t wait to come back.
Cliff whittled my lip liner-not well, but he did it. 10/10 for effort and vibes.
Over hyped
Our nonprofit hosted an event for about 70 people at Gruet. The venue was fantastic, the wine was delicious, and the staff was extraordinary. Sam took excellent care of us and took care of every detail. Whether you're looking for a nice place to relax with friends after work, or a classy place to hold your next event, Gruet should be at the top of your list.
Wonderful service and really good wine!
Relaxing place to enjoy some pinot and a mocktail. Sam the entertainment manager is an excellent host. My girlfriend enjoyed the New Mexico Sunrise.
We absolutely love buying Gruet at our local grocery store or liquor store here in Albuquerque. So, we signed up for one of their dinners, an evening of paella. The paella was delicious, as was the brut rosé. However, for $100 for two, I expect a bigger portion of paella and better service. Plastic plates and cutlery were a disappointment. When we left, we had to get some fries :)! Further, it would be nice if the dinner guests were seated at a table rather than instructed to walk out to the parking lot to pick up said plastic plate. I know prices have increased, but there are some marked things to improve to make for a better value.

I have been here a couple times with friends. The staff has been very attentive and super friendly, the ambiance is inviting, and overall a great place to hang out with friends. Sam gave us the tour of the castle and it's very clean and well kept. Super interesting!
This place is great!!! Cliff and Diana are simply the best. Highly recommend this place no matter what your wine or champagne experience.
Gruet is Grue-at!! Love the wine and atmosphere! Diana is so welcoming and always on top of it!
Fantastic wine, great atmosphere and even better service. Diana is always friendly, attentive and welcoming! Can’t recommend this place enough
Excellent service and great wine. Can’t beat the ambience of this local establishment.
