NM Vintage Wines, Beers, Spirits & Cigars

¡Viva la MĂşsica! Vintage continues to be THE cornerstone of Mesilla's music scene, pioneering live area performances for 18+ years. Our commitment to showcasing diverse local talent has been unwavering; most weeks you can take in 5 - 7 different shows on the biggest little stage in New Mexico. Located at the "entrance of Mesilla,"  the exact corner of Calle de Santiago and Avenida de Mesilla, you'll find varied offerings highlighting the best of New Mexico. With 30+ wines, 15+ beers, and select NM-distilled spirits we bring the state's best libations to one location.

âś… Join us Saturday, May 3rd, 2:30 - 5:30pm for samples of New Mexico's finest agave spirits, yes--actual liquor--not wine-based, & margaritas. The sampling is a 21+ event. Live music from "Small Business" will be flowing. Get ready for yet another awesome Vintage afternoon and evening.

Mary Jane's Pilates Studio!

🤣 Pilates will help you with dancing by giving you a core so strong, you’ll pirouette like a pro and still have enough balance left to avoid tripping over your own feet at the afterparty. Plus, with all that extra flexibility and control, your dance moves will be so smooth, even your mirror will want to applaud-now that’s what we call “core-rect” alignment!

Sign up today for the New Client Special. Call Mary Jane (575) 649-5591 today! *
