If you love vino and fall equally, this is the festival for you. Around 90 wineries from all across the country partner up with local Santa Fe restaurants for a five-day-long celebration. There are wine tastings, seminars, cooking classes and, on the last day, a grand tasting at the Santa Fe Opera House. Fancy!
This tradition started in 1991 when a one-day food and wine event drew in quite a large crowd. Thirty years later, the event has grown significantly. Foodies from across the world head to Santa Fe every September for a glass of wine and the fiesta’s signature griddled corn cakes and seared shrimp.
