I recommend doing their sparkling wine flight, as this is what they are known for.
We had a reservation to taste at the "cave" room. When we got there there service was a bit lacking, having to wait to even be greeted and to get someone to take our order after being seated. The girl who served us did not seem too friendly at the time but then realized she just had a dry personality and as we engaged her in conversation, we got to see her trying, smiling more and more pleasant.
I really enjoyed the flight, which included a sparkling rose. The pours are generous, and after we enjoyed

Great experience here. Gruet is known for their sparkling wines. I recommend doing a custom flight where you choose 4 wines to try. They don't serve food but you are allowed to bring outside food. Very nice indoor/outdoor seating areas and great service from the staff. If you are visiting from out of town, they sell wine travel bags (for airplane) for $2.99 so that helps if you plan to buy a bottle and bring it on a plane. Also, if you like green chiles, try the green chile jam. It's incredible!!

We tried two flights of their reds and whites. Did not like any of them. They were so bad that we did not finish any of the tastes. That said, apparently they're more known for their sparklings wines, which we did not try. Sat in the courtyard, which was nice, despite the barbed wire that you had to look at. Was surprised that the server did not offer any information about the winery, their wines nor wine club. I had to Google it to get some background information.

Gorgeous Outdoor Patio, love that they have grape vines as you walk to the entrance… Absolutely a classic spot. I love Gruet and have enjoyed their Sparkling Wines all over, but there is just something special about sitting next to the barrels and hearing the traditions & stories about Gruet from the employees. A must stop for any wine & champagne lover! 🥂

What an incredible experience! This place exceeded all our expectations. Trish was the best! We really enjoyed all the wine. We tried about 15 different types of wines. The best was the Gilbert and the reserve Pinot noir. If you are local they have a wine club with lots of great perks.
My recommendation, get a flight and a cheese board.

My wife and I decided to stop in and give the local wine a taste before we started our journey back to Texas. The lady that helped us was very friendly and knowledgeable. She was able to answer every question my wife had. We ended up leaving with 2 bottles and 2 glasses. We didn't realize it when we showed up as it was a spur of the moment thing but they strongly suggest making a reservation. We were at the counter the whole time but if we had made a reservation we probably could have gotten a nice sitting area to relax and take our time.

We attended the Mother's Day event yesterday. The food (catered by M'Tucci's) and the mimosa bar was very nice. This is what made me and my family not pleased:. Someone from Gruet called us on Friday to confirm our reservation. In the voicemail they left they stated that we should arrive promptly at 11:00 and plan to stay until 1:30. They also stated that they hoped there was enough shade to go around (we had an outside table). Well my family arrived promptly at 11:00. Our table was not in the shade. We noticed that another family was not in the shade either and they moved

I super love this place! Very cozy place to enjoy wine. Staff is very friendly, attentive and knowledgeable. They have a wide variety of still and sparkling whites, a few reds. They offer wine tasting, wine by the glass or enjoy a bottle for yourself or with a group. You can even join their wine club for extra perks. The place is neat and the restroom is well maintained. I was very impressed how clean the main winery area/storage area is. It’s off limits to the public but I had a great opportunity to get a glimpse of the heart of the winery- where they make/store their wine. It was amazing. I

Well the wife twisted my arm to come to Gruet. TBH, I am not the biggest sparkling wine fan, but I know she wanted to go. And some one once told me, happy wife, happy life....
We had a flight of wines which consisted of sauvage, sauvage rose, Demi sec... they were all good, I liked the sauvage... not too sweet!
But the real champ was the beermosa.... which was a mixture of sauvage and a marble double white! Amazing! Loved it! The wife had a hibiscus rose! Which was good!
The lady helping us was amazing! She was so helpful and we had some good convos!
The place is a bit pricey, and I felt

Another great find in ABQ! Go with a small group, or go with someone special (ok, I went with my daughter, and she's pretty special :-)
We tried two "sample" flights and really enjoyed trying out so many different flavors while getting a mini-lesson on the grapes and the winemaking. Good service, but when mid-to-busy, you'll have to flag them down.
Oh, and see if the side room (to the right as you enter), is available. It is a small room, away from the more boisterous small groups at the cafe tables and bar area. I like sitting, not perching, so it was perfect for us!

After a day of hiking, and a stop at another place for a tasting, my family stopped here. I sipped off my family and didn't do a full tasting myself. The wines here were more Champagne like to me. I mean, that is what the specialize in, sparkly, bubbly, and on the dry side. Even the ones that were supposed to be on the "sweet" side, they were still pretty dry to me, but still good.

For as long as I've been in Albuquerque, I think I can count how many times I've been here on one hand and I'm pretty sure it's no more than twice ages ago before I got more into wine.
That being said, I figured it would be fun for us to check it out as a surprise on a summer afternoon after seeing the suggestion on Yelp and the great reviews. I'm so glad that I gave this another chance! Not that it was bad before by any means, I think I was just a punk kid that preferred cosmopolitans and appletinis at the time. It was a long time ago- don't judge.

Gruet knows how to make wine! Hands down the best wine in the area we tried. I am not a huge champagne drinker but each sparkling wine they produce is delicious...definitely the best I've had..from bottles that were triple the cost.
The winery itself is beautiful. The staff extremely helpful and friendly. Lovely patio and plenty of indoor seating. No food available but you can absolutely bring your own in! We sampled all the sparkling wines and red wines, not one we didn't like! We took bottles home for ourselves and gifts...wish we lived closer! Highly recommend stopping here! Favorites

Upon arrival, it felt like we entering a castle. 5 of us girls had decided to spend our afternoon in the tasting room and gossiping. We picked off the summer flight menu (5 flights for $7), and I honestly couldn't tell you which ones we tried but there was quite the variety from reds to whites to rosés to sweet wines to dry wines (which I wasn't as much of a fan of). It was a relaxing afternoon and our server explained a little history of the place (although I wish tours were given as well). I'm a slow drinker, but our server never had a problem coming back before refilling. A few
