Our Story

  A family-owned winery making wines from grapes grown exclusively in New Mexico.

Since 2005, Joseph Martinez, winemaker and founder of El Alamo Winery, has been transforming grapes into some of the best wines in Northern New Mexico.

A lifelong mechanical engineer, Joseph has taken a science-based approach to his winemaking. In combination with an artistic flair and intuitive talent, this approach to winemaking has resulted in unique and high-quality wines.  

El Alamo Winery currently offers nine different styles of wine that range from dry reds to crisp whites. Also available is the El Alamo signature wine, Bourbon-Aged Baco Noir—a unique varietal aged in bourbon barrels that offer a one-of-a-kind flavor not available anywhere else in New Mexico.

The El Alamo vineyard was developed in 2015 with 200 vines of both red and white varietals planted.  In the 2016-2017 seasons, more than 900 additional vines were planted in the 2-acre vineyard. 

El Alamo Winery is located in the small community of Alcalde, NM, 40 miles north of Santa Fe and 35 miles south of Taos just off NM Hwy 68.  Click here for directions.

Friends and family have been enjoying El Alamo wines for years, and we’re excited to be able to share our wines with wine lovers from across the country. No matter the wine style, each El Alamo bottle contains a touch of Joseph’s passion for winemaking. 

From vine to wine, taste the passion.
