Very cute, cozy place. Wine was perfect.

We had the Continental Wine Flight, the Mistress, and the Brew'd Awakening. All were good but the Slow Roasted Duck stole the show and was absolutely delicious. Pommes Frites were crispy and delicious.

What can I say, this place is great!

We felt very unwelcomed. The chocolate torte was amazing, but I wouldn’t go back for it again due to the service and general attitude of the staff.

VARA is a true treasure! This Spanish winery with a New Mexican twist offers an unforgettable tasting room experience. The wines are exceptional, with a perfect blend of Spanish tradition and New Mexican character, showcasing their deep craftsmanship and passion. The tasting room itself is warm, inviting, and beautifully designed, making it the perfect spot to relax and enjoy a glass or two. The staff is knowledgeable and friendly, making you feel right at home while guiding you through their incredible selections. VARA is a must-visit for wine lovers and anyone looking to experience the best of Spanish wine in New Mexico

Fun place with good wines and cocktails and the food bites are yummy. Summer you can sit outside and winter the fire crackles in the fireplace. Highly recommended.

We didn't eat anything, just shared a couple of tastings on our anniversary! We also took whiskey to-go! By far the BEST old fashion I've ever had! There's a chocolate-cinnamon simple syrup they made and now I'm chasing the delicious high this drink took me on when I first had it. Hopefully we will be back in town next year for more! Thanks again we were the only ones in on a rainy afternoon. Very comfortable setting to enjoy the presence of my honey. The workers are very knowledgeable and friendly and we got to chatting about the north and pokemon! Thanks again for an awesome start to our romantic night on the town!

Stopped in to kill some time and ended up staying longer than I planned. The drinks were good the food was good, and I appreciated the friendly service as an out of towner. Highly recommend.

The wines offered here are not sweet wines so that was a disappointment that there wasn’t at least one to sip on for the evening. We sampled a handful and found a wine that wasn’t as dry as others and enjoyed the patio area. When we tried to talk with our waiter, he came across a little rude, but it was the end of the day and maybe it was just a bad time. Nice on the inside and outside

Changed ownership obviously and turned into a "you're not welcome if you don't like something" place. The bar is a mess. Looks like they just moved in. Bartender rude and doesn't know his business. I've been there many times before and enjoyed myself. Never again. Good location but wrong people.
Not Santa Fe like!!!!

We have been here many times over the last two years since moving to the area. The flights are reasonable, most servers are standard or excellent, and the charcuterie is always great! I recommend this place to any local or visitor.
