Santa Fe Wine & Chile Fiesta
This year is the 20th for the Santa Fe Wine & Chile Fiesta, set for September 22-26, 2010, in various locations in the New Mexico state capitol.
Eight guest chef luncheons are scheduled (half of the chefs are from Santa Fe) along with eight wine seminar speakers. There’ll also be guest chef cooking demos, a live auction luncheon, reserve tasting and winery dinners nightly. The complete schedule (and information on how to buy tickets) is online.
The Grand Food & Wine Tasting is 1-4 p.m. September 25, 2010, in the Santa Fe Opera, 17053 U.S. Highway 84/285, Santa Fe, New Mexico. It features tastes from 65 Santa Fe restaurants and sips from 100 wineries. Tickets are $125 (plus $10, if you want a parking pass).
Some of the events are already sold out (including the luncheon and tour of noted artist Georgia O’Keeffe’s house in Abiquiu), so if there’s something you fancy, Road Trips Foodies, get your ticket and then plan your drive to the Southwest!
