There are numerous vineyards in the area and connoisseurs can enjoy a wine tour through the lush valley along the Rio Grande River.

Las Cruces is host to a number of festivals throughout the year. The Whole Enchilada Festival features the world’s largest enchilada – six feet across. The town hosts the Renaissance Arts and Crafts Fair, the Southern New Mexico State Fair, the Mesilla Valley Hot Air Balloon Rally, and the Wine and Chile Festival. The historic village of Old Mesilla, just minutes from Las Cruces, is one of the most historic sites in the Southwest. Famed outlaw Billy the Kid stood trial for murder in the town’s courthouse on the village plaza.
