Join us as we journey to New Mexico--a magical land of pure, untamed beauty. New Mexico’s secret story is spoken through its breathtaking sceneries, through its unique and diverse cultures, through its distinct flavors, and through its fascinating “artisans” that sustain, create, and shape the mystique of New Mexico.

Our journey takes us from Southern to Northern New Mexico. This path is rich in history and contrasting landscapes with its desert terrain and magnificent mountains, to its lush pine forests and fertile farmlands, growing everything from chilies to grape vines. Our trip will follow a Magical Tour where these artisans of the desert create an ancient elixir in this dramatic backdrop of golden deserts and turquoise skies.


We will learn how they influence the past, present, and future of New Mexico. We will find out what drives them to continue their old traditions or what compels them to plant their roots in these enchanted lands. We will journey with them to discover New Mexico’s captivating charm. We will weave this magical voyage through the hands and minds of these artisans. Their stories possess the will of the West and the heart of the New Mexican sun. Their world is “off-the-beaten-track” but it’s a world unlike no other and worth a special visit. It is the enticement and the lure of these people who will enchant and guide your way to the real New Mexico.

The largest winery in New Mexico is a buzz with activity -- from their vineyards, to the bottling room, to the tasting room! Our cameras capture some of the action which shows large-scale production wine-making along side their hard-working dedication.
