Fall is a beautiful time of year to visit Santa Fe. Not only is the weather mild and enjoyable, filled with bright sunny days and cool crisp evenings, but the city is surrounded by vibrant pops of yellow as the aspen trees begin their gradual march to winter. Of course, there are plenty of things to do in Santa Fe in the fall, too, including enjoying tastings at various wineries in Santa Fe and northern New Mexico.
Whether you spend an afternoon or two hiking to breathtaking vistas like the Aspen Vista Trail at Ski Santa Fe or you peruse one gallery after the next along Canyon Road, you’ll love every moment of your time in Santa Fe this fall. When you need a relaxing afternoon, consider taking a break from your adventures and visiting one of the fantastic local wine bars and wineries in Santa Fe, followed by a trip out to the vineyards and wineries across northern New Mexico.
There’s even a great place to enjoy wine tasting within walking distance of our Santa Fe Bed and Breakfast!

Best Wineries in Santa Fe & Beyond
Restaurants in Santa Fe have a well-earned reputation for great food. Many of our local chefs and restaurants earn top industry recognition year after year. Given that great food and wine often go hand in hand, it’s probably not a surprise to learn that there are some great wineries in Santa Fe and the surrounding area. From crisp summer whites to bold winter reds, relaxing with a wine tasting at local New Mexico wineries is a great way to spend a fall afternoon in Santa Fe.
As mentioned above, Gruet Winery has a tasting room in Santa Fe right here- just a ten-minute walk from our Santa Fe Bed and Breakfast. It’s a highlight of many wine lovers’ trips to Santa Fe, but it’s not the only stop you should make. You’ll find most of the wineries in Santa Fe just north of the city. We’ve listed some of our other recommended wineries in Santa Fe below.
- Another of the most popular wineries in Santa Fe is Vivác Winery. Vivác Winery is located just north of the city and has won numerous awards. They are the highest-rated producer of red wine among all New Mexico wineries, making them a perfect destination for a cozy fall afternoon.
- We also love sending guests to Black Mesa Winery. The wines made here are produced using only grapes grown in New Mexico, placing them at the top of the list when it comes to wineries in Santa Fe worth visiting.
- For something unique, don’t miss the opportunity to visit La Chiripada Winery. It’s the oldest winery in New Mexico and certainly worth a visit as you compare the flavors and aromas to other wineries in Santa Fe.
These tasting rooms are certainly worth the visit if you’re up for it, but you can also sample most of them at local wine bars and restaurants.
- Herve Wine Bar near the Historic Santa Fe Plaza.
- TerraCotta Wine Bistro near the Georgia O’Keefe Museum in downtown Santa Fe.
