If grapes could talk, they'd recount their dreams, the first time they got plucked, and the first time they felt victimized by nature's rumor mill—the vine. Taste the tales of the grape with today's Groupon: for $15, you get two one-day tickets to the Albuquerque Wine Festival (a $30 value) sponsored by the New Mexico Wine Growers Association. Each ticket is valid for one day’s admission to the festival, held at Balloon Fiesta Park over Memorial Day weekend, Saturday, May 28–Monday, May 30.

The Albuquerque Wine Festival celebrates the lusty libations concocted at 27 wineries throughout New Mexico that generate nearly 700,000 gallons of wine between them every year. Upon arrival, attendees are gifted with a glass from which to sip and savor endless samples. After consuming enough cabernet to loosen the joints and mellow the mind, the crowd can set toes free to tap to the live sounds Felonious Groove, Nosotros, Ben Martinez, and other performers while taking pit stops to browse through goods crafted by regional artisans. Stomachs in search of solid sustenance can set their suitcases down at food vendors serving up French, German, Caribbean, and Cajun fare. The festival offers free parking and welcomes guests younger than 21 if they are accompanied by a parent or legal guardian, and the spacious, serene Balloon Fiesta Park boasts ample space to relax or practice three-legged race sprints.
