A little known fact about New Mexico is that the first vinyards in the country were in this state. They were initially grown for the sacramental wine of church, however as time passed they turned into businesses selling their wines all over. Now there are many wonderful wineries in and around Albuquerque, and almost all of them have opportunities for tours and tastings. Choose one that suites your preferences and take your darling off to sample some delicious wines. Perhaps call ahead and ask if the staff can assist you in creating the perfect romantic moment for surprising your loved one with that special piece of gemstone or diamond jewelry that you have had Knox Jewelers custom make for your dearest. Ask also what other special things they can help you work into your proposal, or consider buying a bottle of your favorite vintage from the night to toast each other with the night you present your wedding bands to each other, or even for your first anniversary! Some vinyards even have spaces available to host ceremonies and receptions; make this location even more special by exchanging your vows at the same place where you originally presented your true love with their engagement ring.
