Los Luceros Winery is a classic example of the past, present, and future all co-existing in the same space. The winery is located in one of the oldest viticultural sites in North America. Don Juan de Oñate brought settlers to the Los Luceros area in 1598 (over 4 centuries ago!). He reportedly brought grapevines with him, although it's unlikely they were well suited to the cool climate of northern New Mexico.

Our vineyards supply Seyval blanc, Vidal blanc, Cayuga, and Baco noir. Our goal is to make world-class wines from these and other grapes that thrive in this climate. We spare no expense to barrel-ferment some white wines in new French oak barrels. We age our premium Baco noir Reserve in new American oak barrels. The winery building, which is the second straw-bale winery in the country, is of special interest.

Please call ahead for hours of opening and/or appointment. Tasting room hours: weekends and holidays, noon-dusk. Other time by appointment.
