NEW! Boots & Bolos and A Bougie Brunch
Two new events are in the offing and bound to become faves. At Boots & Bolos, be treated to a really ranchy, yet elegant experience with open-fire cooking, smoked barbecue, and expertly selected wine pairings. And at the Bougie Brunch, explore exceptional pairings alongside beautifully arranged buffet stations and mingle on The Sunset Terrace, downtown Santa Fe's special hidden spot with views for miles.
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. Climb aboard the Sky Railway for their Sunset Sips Tour, where sommeliers will offer you elegant wines while you watch the exquisite landscape roll by. Also take advantage of the lineup of residential and visiting experts! The guest chefs include Sarintip "Jazz" Singsanong of Jitlada in Los Angeles, the sommeliers include Marika Vida-Arnold of the Ritz Carlton Central Park, the guest speakers include Jeff Zappelli of Hall Wines, 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 All About the C’s: Caviar, Crémant, Chablis & Chenin or Judgment of Paris: 50 Years Later.
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 26 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. What could be better than tasting portions from 60 of Santa Fe’s finest restaurants and sips from more than 90 world-class wineries?
