Crafting New Mexico’s Heritage in Every Bottle

VARA Winery & Distillery

At VARA Winery and Distillery, we bring together time-honored traditions and bold innovations to craft exceptional wines and spirits that embody passion, creativity, and community. Each bottle reflects our dedication to quality, artistry, and the rich heritage of New Mexico.

Our winemakers are a circle of passionate professionals — master blenders who combine deep expertise with an adventurous spirit. They carefully select the finest grapes and ingredients, crafting wines that express a uniquely New Mexican point of view. Through constant experimentation with new varieties and blending methods, they continue to push the boundaries of what’s possible in winemaking.

Wine in New Mexico is more than a craft — it’s culture, history, and storytelling. Rooted in Spanish heritage dating back to 1629, New Mexico’s wine tradition thrives in our diverse microclimates and distinctive soils. At VARA, we celebrate that heritage through sparkling wines, still wines, and spirits that reflect both the land and the people who shape it.

Our philosophy is simple: great wine should be enjoyed anytime — not just for celebration. From our Méthode Champenoise sparkling wines (aged a minimum of 2½ years) to our white, red, and rosé blends, we aim to make every sip approachable, memorable, and deeply connected to the spirit of the Southwest.

With the support of incredible partners like AgTrust, we’re expanding into new regions like West Texas and beyond — opening doors for more people to experience the story, flavor, and artistry of VARA.
