Rio Grande Winery

Our family had a fantastic experience staying at Rio Grande Winery! This was our first time using harvest hosts and it did not disappoint! After being caught in dust storms while driving from Carlsbad to Las Cruces, the winery was such a great way to end the day. We arrived later than expected due to the weather, and called ahead to place a food and wine order with the kitchen. When we arrived, we were greeted by all the friendly staff and Randy the owner. The food and wine were AMAZING and the hospitality could not be beaten. They were also super accommodating of our energetic toddler who just spent the past four hours being locked up in a car Our only regret is that we didn't get to experience the live music that happens on the weekends. It was lovely waking up to the beautiful mountains in the background of the winery. All in all, an excellent and smooth experience. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a unique and special stay. We will definitely be stopping by again if we are ever in the area!

Had a nice, relaxing evening sipping wine and listening to live music. Inside had several tables and a couple of comfy couches and chairs. Outside were several tables in the covered patio. There was a food truck there as well. We will be back.

We dry camped here with Harvest Hosts and it was an awesome place! Live music and food truck on the weekends- a beautiful patio to enjoy the wine tasting and views of the Organ Pipe mountains, fire pits and propane heaters let you enjoy the full sunset! We liked the Spaniard Cab best. Definitely worth the stop and we'll be returning! Great staff, great wine, great views (And they have pickleball courts- bring your own equipment.) Update: 4/05/25: stayed here again - even better as the restaurant was open- enjoyed a lovely smoked green chili stew and creme brulee with our wine & beer. Morning coffee at the fire pit watching a photo shoot and chatting with the winery owner who also owns another local company that produces certified hatch green chili products - super nice guy

We visited a new to us Harvest Host in the Las Cruces area. We are so glad we did. Communication was prompt. Generous, level parking. Quiet, starfilled night. Newer winery with beautiful spaces, friendly staff & great food & wine. There were 2 food trucks-one arrived offering standard fare of hamburgers etc. Another recent food truck addition was run by two French brothers who are acquaintances of the owner. I enjoyed a large caesar salad with salmon gravlax & my husband ordered the smoked tri-tip on a homemade baguette. We ordered a bottle their red. The whole experience was a delight... the food, the wine, being surrounded by happy people enjoying themselves on a lovely evening was the best part of my day. I love this place.

Stopped here while driving across the country. Stephen provided excellent service and the wine was great. Atmosphere, seating and live music all made for a great time. Weather outside was too windy to sit or have the fire going (couldn't even see the mountains from all the dust) but I looked like a beautiful space.

A sweet hidden location heading out to Las Cruces thru the back roads of NM. Quiet location, it was a festive day and there wasn't much people. Band was playing out on the patio. Great customer service as they explained type of wine we were drinking. A good day to WINE

We've been visiting this winery since the Covid era and have always loved it--especially our three children, who enjoy the food trucks and dancing. I've celebrated my birthday here every year, and this year, I chose to spend Mother's Day at what I thought was my favorite winery. Unfortunately, the experience left us deeply disappointed. While enjoying our time, our server approached us to ask where our children were. They had gone for a short stroll and, being older and well-behaved, were not causing any disruption. The server then informed us that our kids needed to remain within 6 feet of us at all times. At that point, we felt unwelcome, asked for our tab, and left. It truly put a damper on what was meant to be a special day. Afterwards, we spoke with friends who are members of the winery and were surprised to hear they had a bad experience earlier in the day. Thankfully, there are many other wineries in the area that are far more family-friendly. Unfortunately, we won't be returning.

The view is amazing but even more amazing is the sweet people that work there. We felt immediately at home. They have fire pits facing the mountain and fields. It's a great place to enjoy a sunset with a delicious glass of wine. There's a few tractors for photos or for the little ones to play. There's also pickle ball courts. This winery really has it all including a band on the weekend.
