Las Cruces is one of the oldest wine-producing regions in North America. With fertile soil and great growing conditions, wine lovers can sample American as well as European wines at St. Clair Winery & Bistro or visit Rio Grande Vineyards. Sunday afternoons on the patio at Rio Grande Vineyard and Winery are particularly alluring with live music, house made sangrias and views of the nearby mountains.
