Tyler Stucky and Tamara Vaughn Stucky

Friends,

After much long consideration, Tyler and I have made the very difficult decision to close Tall Pines in Ruidoso.

This was our first and will be our last location. This year would have marked 10 years in business. What a journey it has been.

It was fun, heart-warming, challenging, and filled with countless lessons. We grew in ways we never expected and built friendships that will last a lifetime.

Over the years, Ruidoso has faced many challenges. After the fires, floods, the horse racing track closing, and most recently the ice storm damage, it has felt like one challenge after another for many local businesses. With so many changes in our beautiful village, after much prayer and reflection we feel it’s time for us to take a different path and move forward into a new season of life.

Our building is still for sale, and we sincerely pray the right buyer comes along and creates something wonderful in that space. We’ve considered a few possibilities ourselves, but for now we’re trusting God to guide our next steps.

To our incredible customers who became dear friends, thank you. To our families who supported us every step of the way, we are forever grateful. Tall Pines was more than a business. It was community, memories, laughter, and connection.

We will still be around the Ruidoso area and hope to see you out and about.

With gratitude,
Tamara & Tyler

Update from Tall Pines Beer & Wine Garden

We’re still closed due to the storm damage we received a few weeks ago. Unfortunately, it’s just a liability for us to be open right now. Our fence is still broken and not securely attached, which makes it unsafe for guests.
The good news is that all of the fallen tree branches have been removed, and the two large trees were trimmed and taken care of this past week 👏 However, with the fence still needing repair and some broken furniture, we still have cleanup and safety issues to address before we can reopen.
We truly apologize for the delay and appreciate your patience and understanding. We miss you all so much and can’t wait to welcome everyone back as soon as it’s safe to do so.

Thank you for sticking with Tall Pines Beer & Wine Garden

Tall Pines Beer & Wine Garden will not be open this Saturday, January 31st, due to damage sustained from the winter ice and snowstorm we received this past weekend.

Several tree branches fell and damaged our fence, and we have necessary tree and cleanup work that must be completed before it is safe for our patrons.

Thank you so much for your understanding. We truly appreciate your continued support and look forward to welcoming you back soon.

We will keep you posted on our reopening date.

Stay warm and safe!
