There are only so many "#1 DAD" coffee mugs and father-themed neck ties an appreciative son or daughter can buy before Father's Day fatigue sets in for the whole family. 

Splurge and Black Mesa Winery team up this week to bring dear old Dad (and a special someone) a great wine and cheese tasting event that is sure to wow him.

Splurge now and receive two spots on one of Black Mesa Winery's two hour events that includes a guided tour into the vineyards and winery and winemaking processes of Black Mesa Winery.  After the tour, enjoy a cheese and wine pairing featuring 6-8 different wines and cheeses.  Learn about the individual wines and the cheeses that go with them. Cheeses are crafted at Old Windmill Dairy in Estacia, NM. Also learn a bit of the history of wine in New Mexico.

Dad can wow his friends later with his new wine and cheese knowledge: purchase wines and cheeses at 10% savings that evening.

Reserve seating only. 20 person maximum per tour.  Begins at 6pm at Black Mesa Winery, Highway 68, in Velarde.

Book early by phone to get the date you want.  Bring a friend or a special someone to make it a great event for Dad.

If you would like to spend the night close to the winery in northern New Mexico, Black Mesa Winery can also assist you in getting a discount on a very nice room at the Santa Claran Hotel in Espanola.

Splurge offer valid only on the following dates: June 23, July 21, August 18, September 15, October 20. Expires October 20, 2012
