Sip Into Spring: April Experiences with Mesilla Valley Wine & Brew Tours
Spring has officially arrived in Southern New Mexico, and there’s no better way to enjoy the season than with a glass of wine, warm sunshine, and a thoughtfully curated local experience. April is one of our favorite months: perfect weather, blooming landscapes, and plenty of reasons to gather with friends and celebrate.
At Mesilla Valley Wine & Brew Tours, we’re welcoming the season with weekend wine shuttles, the launch of a brand-new walking tour, and a preview of something exciting coming in May. Whether you’re planning an Easter outing, a birthday celebration, or simply looking for something fun to do, we’ve got your spring plans covered.
Weekend Wine Shuttle
April Schedule
Our Weekend Wine Shuttle is running throughout April, making it easier than ever to explore the region’s best wineries without worrying about driving.
Operating on Saturdays and Sundays, the shuttle offers multiple pickup locations and a relaxed, social way to experience Southern New Mexico’s wine scene. It’s perfect for couples, small groups, or anyone looking to turn an ordinary weekend into something memorable.
Introducing the Old Mesilla Mezcal Mile
We’re excited to officially launch one of our most anticipated experiences: the Old Mesilla Mezcal Mile Walking Tour.
Starting April 1, tickets will be available for this immersive tour through the heart of historic Mesilla. Guests will enjoy a curated tasting experience featuring agave spirits, handcrafted cocktails, and a guided walk through one of the most culturally rich areas in the region.
This tour has been a long time coming—and with limited spots available, we expect it to fill quickly.
Spring & Easter Wine Recommendations
Spring gatherings call for fresh, vibrant wines that complement the flavors of the season. If you’re hosting Easter brunch or attending a celebration, here are a few go-to options:
Rosé
Crisp, refreshing, and perfect for sipping outdoors, rosé pairs beautifully with light fare and warm afternoons.
Try: Desert Rose from Sombra Antiguga Winery
Sauvignon Blanc
With bright acidity and citrus notes, this white wine complements salads, seafood, and spring vegetables.
Try: La Viña Winery
Pinot Noir
A lighter-bodied red that works well with traditional Easter dishes like ham, roasted vegetables, or herb-forward meals.
Try: Zin Valle Vineyards
Sparkling Wine
Brunch and bubbles go hand-in-hand. A sparkling wine adds a festive touch to any spring celebration.
Try: Organ Mountain Bubbly from Rio Grande Winery
Coming Soon!
Sun City Brews Cruise
Looking ahead to May, we’re expanding beyond wine with the launch of our Sun City Brews Cruise in El Paso.
This new experience will highlight local breweries through curated stops, tastings, and behind-the-scenes insights into the craft beer scene. It’s the perfect complement to our wine tours and a great option for beer lovers looking to explore something new.
More details are coming soon, but trust me, you’ll want to be on this list.
Plan Your Spring Outing
April is already shaping up to be a busy and exciting month. Whether you’re booking a seat on the weekend wine shuttle, planning a private group experience, or getting ready to try the Mezcal Mile, now is the time to reserve your spot.
Spring doesn’t last forever, but the memories you make just might.
