Awesome day touring local wineries - Cindy is the owner of this tour company. She was a lovely hostess, very knowledgeable about the Santa Fe area and its wineries. She picked us up at our hotel in her comfy van ride which seats up to 9 guests. Water and sturdy bags for wine and souvenirs were supplied. The lunch that was served included made to order sandwiches that were huge, 5 different salads, and cookies. All very tasty. The wine tour is often coupled with other events such as a glass blowing class. We wished we had signed up for that too after we heard the other people on our tour comment on how fun it was. Cindy also operates a private ride service that can take you anywhere you want to go. Very convenient as Uber is sketchy in Santa Fe. Thanks Cindy for a great day!!

14-person Mother/Daughter trip - I live in Albuquerque and went to college in California. For our my 6 college roommates and I planned a mother/daughter trip in Santa Fe for the weekend. I knew I wanted to show them the beauty of our state, and let them try some of our incredible local wines. This was the PERFECT venue! Cindy was the best host. Picked us up from our hotel in our private bus, and drove us to 3 wineries. At the first winery she made a beautiful charcuterie set up for us -- it was like a whole meal! At the final winery she made a whole dinner for us -- salads, pastas, sandwiches, fresh fruit, and more. It was incredible. The whole experience lasted about 7 hours, so it is definitely an all-day activity. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

Great tour! - A good friend and I celebrated our birthdays with the Northern New Mexico Wine Tour. We were lucky enough to be the only ones on this particular day (close to Christmas). Cindy is both knowledgeable and lots of fun! The wineries we visited were great with hosts who could answer all our questions. We took the RailRunner both to and from Santa Fe and Cindy was there to pick us up and deliver us with plenty of time to space. The snacks and lunch.....with wine we purchased after our tastings.......were great!

A fantastic time! - Great fun. Good wines. Good food. A really fun knowledgeable driver/host. We even had great fun singing to karaoke at the last stop (I generally hate karaoke). But it can get a bit pricey with the cost of a few bottles of wine (optional). To be clear the tour itself is a fair value. There is a wide variety of exceptional wines! Some thing for every pallet. In the end you are there because you like wine and you are going to buy a bottle or two (or more). As with most small wineries there are many unique offerings, but they can be pricey in comparison to the big name wineries. Depending on if/how many and which wines you buy it can add up. Especially when we favor the more expensive ones :).

Brilliant day out! - We had a great day on our wine tour with a fab group of people, even with the unseasonably cool weather for May in New Mexico visiting Black Mesa, Vivac, and La Chiripada wineries. We had ample time to sample a wide range of wines at each vineyard and the last two stops we had extra time to then enjoy a glass or two of our favourites, the first with lunch and then as our final farewell drink before hopping back on the bus to a little gift from Cindy. Cindy can cook and she even laid out a fresh platter of cheese, fruit and nibbles at the first winery for us to enjoy with the wine which was amply, never mind the amazing, delicious, ginormous lunch which she had prepared fresh for us to enjoy. My only negative comment would be that I would have liked a little more information at each winery about the history, their techniques and so on, the visits to the wineries I felt were heavily angled towards selling rather learning. This isn’t the tours fault but it would be nice to gain a little more knowledge about the New Mexico Wine.

Excellent Tour - Cindy went above and beyond to make our private wine tour a day to remember. She’s also a really great chef - she made us a homemade lunch and we’re taking her recipes! Definitely recommend, it was well worth it

Terrible - NO SHOW! - Booked and confirmed our tour online. Signed all necessary documents and waivers. Confirmed that we would be picked up at our hotel. Company did not show and unable to reach by phone. Left multiple messages and emails with no return communication.

No experience because they were a NO SHOW! - Don't do it! I booked this tour for me and my husband. Confirmed it, signed all the COVID documents and confirmed our hotel, date and pick up time. We were outside waiting 15 minutes prior to our pick up time and waited an hour and 15 minutes. They were a NO SHOW! i called four times and received a recording "please leave a message as your call is very important to us". Needless to say I never received a call. Luckily, Santa Fe is a very walkable city and my husband and I went off on our own and found other things to do. We have yet to receive a call back. My recommendation, DO NOT use this company.
