Black Mesa Winery And Cidery - Velarde

The best winery in the area! Super welcoming, great staff and events. Lots and lots of wine to try. You can park your RV overnight. Lots of cute gifts to shop, local made food and art. There is a walking trail around the vineyard and you can see pictographs.

The wine and cider are amazing. Cute stuff to buy. Great coffee beans, too! Art, wine glasses etc....Krystal and team are amazing and awesome and kind, too!! Thanks for having me and the pugs!! I love this winery.

It was a little tricky pulling into Black Mesa since it's right off of a busy two lane highway. I was thankful we were heading north to make pulling in and out a bit easier. But the drive through that canyon on our way from Santa Fe to Taos was worth the stop alone!The hosts were friendly and took time to share stories about how they came to own this lovely vineyard and why this was the perfect spot for them. They also encouraged us to explore the trails on the property and enjoy the ancient petroglyphs.The prickly pear cider probably tasted even better since we could enjoy it under the canopy of flowering trees on their porch while hummingbirds darted all around us.

Black messa is GREAT!Wines are wonderful!People are perfect!Prices are pretty goodAtmosphere is astronomical!!Go there!! Get some!!

Fantastic wines and ciders, wonderful people, beautiful space. Hummingbirds in spring, lovely colors in fall. Pick n’ stomp is a great time. And Sola the cat is fabulous! A favorite northern NM spot and one I recommend to everyone visiting the Santa Fe or Taos area.
