Fodor's Review:
It's hard to imagine a winetasting experience with less curb appeal. Gruet Winery sits along an ugly access road paralleling I-25, sandwiched between an RV showroom and a lawn-furniture store. But behind the vaguely castlelike exterior of this otherwise modern industrial building, you're afforded the chance to visit one of the nation's most acclaimed producers of sparkling wines. Gruet had been famous in France since the 1950s for its champagnes. Here in New Mexico, where the Gruet family has been producing wine since 1984, it's earned similar kudos for its six sparkling wines as well as for impressive pinot noirs and chardonnays. Many of the state's top restaurants now carry Gruet vintages. Tastings include the chance to sample five wines and to take home a souvenir glass.
- Cost: Free; $5 for a 5-wine tasting
- Open: Weekdays 10–5, Sat. noon–5; tours Mon.–Sat. at 2
