Chile Friday
Don't miss Chile Friday, a tasty tribute to New Mexico's signature heat in the form of delicious bites from more than 30 culinary establishments, paired with refreshing local craft beers, wines, and Patrón, Herradura, Don Fulano, and Don Julio margaritas.
Winery Dinners
Investigate the marvelous winery dinners at select restaurants around town. An expert spokesperson from the winery will be present to introduce all wines with the special paired menu. Contact the host restaurants for time, price, and reservations.
Food and Wine Demonstrations & Education
Cooking demonstrations and culinary education have always been an integral part of the Fiesta. In 2024, climb aboard the Sky Railway for their Sunset Wine Tour, where sommeliers will offer you elegant wines while you watch the exquisite landscape roll by. Also advantage of the lineup of residential and visiting experts! The guest chefs include Bruce Kalman of Soulbelly BBQ, the sommeliers include Fiesta fave Tim Gaiser, the guest speakers Fiesta cheese educator Lisa Werlin, and Santa Fe's own beloved chefs make many appearances, so try a bit of everything on offer, including a seminar or two, such as American Truffle Revolution or Legends of the Vine: A Tribute to California's Cabernet Heritage.
Grand Tasting
If all of that isn’t quite enough, consider the granddaddy event: the Grand Tasting, THE hottest event ticket of the Fiesta. Bring your friends and meet up with others September 28 from 11:30 am to 3 pm at the grassy downtown location of Magers Field Park. You will experience booth after booth of hallmark wines and exquisite cuisine in a taster-friendly setting with shaded tables and live entertainment.
