Wine Tasting at D.H. Lescobomes in Albuquerque
An afternoon of wine tasting at D. H. Lescombes Winery is one of the best ways to experience the flavors of New Mexico. They are one of the premier wineries in New Mexico, with locations that extend well beyond Old Town Albuquerque and into communities like Santa Fe, Alamogordo, Las Cruces, and more. The founders of D.H. Lescombes Winery emigrated from the Burgundy region of France in the 1980s, bringing with them six generations of winemaking craftsmanship.
The vineyard for the Lescombes Winery sits on 240 acres just outside Lordsburg, New Mexico, which is about 4.5 hours south of our Albuquerque Bed and Breakfast. Their Old Town tasting room, however, is just a short 15-minute walk to the other end of the Old Town Neighborhood. D.H. Lescombes produces a wide variety of wines from its estate vineyards, ranging from crisp whites and rich reds to unique blends that highlight the family’s heritage and winemaking expertise.
In the D.H. Lescombes Winery tasting room, we recommend you start with a customized wine flight, featuring four 2-oz pours catered to your palate. They also offer a minimal intervention flight, which features four 2-oz pours of their minimal intervention wines, which have been produced using more natural methods. Of course, if you already know what you like, you can also skip the flights and go right ahead to a glass of your favorite D.H. Lescombes wine (or perhaps one of their wine cocktails!).
Of course, the experience at Lescombes Winery extends beyond the wine. The on-site bistro is considered one of the top places to eat in Albuquerque, thanks to a menu that strikes a balance between comfort and sophistication. Their Signature Nosh, filled with a variety of things to nibble on, including meats, cheeses, olives, fruit, and nuts, is hard to beat, but we also think their Lavender Honey Feta & Hummus is a must. For something a little more hearty, consider their Southwest Meatloaf or Blackened Rainbow Trout.
Whether you are sharing small plates during a casual lunch or enjoying a full dinner before heading back to Old Town Albuquerque, the bistro offers an elevated dining experience that stands out among Albuquerque restaurants. Even better, these delicious entrées are crafted to pair perfectly with the wines that you’ll enjoy throughout the experience.
