Beginning in the early 1500's, the first Spanish explorers and settlers transported with them their wine grapes, to eventually plant in the Rio Grande Valley.
By 1633, the vineyards were flourishing as they provided sacramental wine to the mission priests throughout Northern New Mexico.
Wine in New Mexico was abundant, and by 1880, the census data shows that New Mexico was producing 905,000 barrels of wines per year. Then with the advent of prohibition, legal wine production ceased.
In the early 1980s, New Mexico’s wineries have made a resurgence.
Currently, New Mexico’s wine production is flourishing again and is continuing to grow! You will be able to find wineries with their own unique style and high-quality wines in Northern, Central, and Southern New Mexico!
