Casa Rondeña Winery
Casa Rondeña Winery Review
Perhaps the most architecturally stunning of New Mexico's wineries, Casa Rondeña—which is technically in Los Ranchos de Albuquerque, not the Duke City proper—resembles a Tuscan villa, with its green-tile roof and verdant grounds laced with gardens and fountains. It's hard to believe that most of the structures here went up with the winery's founding in 1995. Casa Rondeña produces a superb cabernet franc, one of the most esteemed vintages in New Mexico. You can see a vintage oak fermentation tank and a great hall with soaring ceilings, where tastings are conducted. The winery hosts many events including a chamber music festival with wine receptions and dinners.

J_Marie, from California
One of the best wineries in the southwest. The architecture is actually from Spain, and you can sit by the vineyard and relax with wine made right there in Albuquerque. The tasting room is cozy and the grounds are a great place to have a wedding.
