Celebrate America’s Birthday in America’s Oldest Wine Region
This 4th of July, celebrate more than our nation’s birthday. As America prepares for the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence, New Mexico continues to celebrate 400 years of winemaking tradition, making it the oldest wine-producing region in the United States.
Spanish colonizers brought Mission grapes to New Mexico in the early 1600s, planting the roots of what would become the oldest wine-producing region in the United States. Today, that legacy lives on in the vineyards and wineries of the Mesilla Valley, where winemakers continue to cultivate exceptional wines in the unique climate of southern New Mexico.
Whether you’re gathering with family for a backyard barbecue or welcoming visitors for the holiday weekend, there’s no better time to experience our local wine country. Every bottle you enjoy and every winery you visit helps support the small businesses and agricultural traditions that have shaped our region for centuries.
