Cideries in Velarde, NM

“I loved my visit to Black Mesa winery. Among other things, they offer a sampler which allows you to select 5 samples of any of their wines, which comes out to the equivalent of about 1 full glass of wine. I prefer red wine and I loved all 5 reds that I tried. In particular, the Sangiovese 22, the Cabernet Franc, and the Montipulceano were fantastic. I also tasted and loved their dry cider variety. It was fun to learn about the local grapes that they use in a number of their vintages as well as the locally sourced apples for their ciders. The customer service was superb! Bottom line, Black Mesa knows their business and is executing amazingly.“
