Over Memorial Day Weekend, wine lovers from across the state flocked to Albuquerque’s Balloon Fiesta Park for the annual NM Winefest, held May 24–26.
With blue skies overhead and the Sandia Mountains as a stunning backdrop, festivalgoers sampled award-winning local wines, danced to live music, and savored delicious bites from regional food vendors. From sun-soaked tastings to vibrant artisan markets, the 2025 Winefest served up a perfect blend of flavor, fun, and New Mexico flair.
