The Santa Fe Wine and Chile Fiesta is one of the most exciting events for the culinary and wine world of New Mexico. This year marks the 31st of the five-day food and wine festival. The “Grand Tasting” crowning event will be held on September 24th, 2022, from noon to 3 pm at the Fort Marcy Park Magers Field in downtown Santa Fe, where more than 90 wineries and 60 Santa Fe restaurants serve up tastings and samples. In the days leading up to the main tasting, there’s a host of other culinary activities to attend around the city.
First, you’ll want to secure your lodging in town for the Santa Fe Wine and Chile Fiesta, and there’s no better place than our downtown bed and breakfast near the Santa Fe Plaza. Four Kachinas Inn is located right in the heart of our bustling city, but it’s as peaceful as it gets behind our adobe walls. Each of our six guest rooms has the perfect mix of luxury and Southwestern charm—it’s the ultimate place to unwind and relax!
Santa Fe Wine and Chile Fiesta 2022
The Santa Fe Wine and Chile Fiesta was recently included on a list of the top 24 Fall and Harvest Festivals in the country by the U.S. News & World Report.

The extra events begin on September 21st and run through the 25th.
During the week leading up to the Grand Tasting, the Santa Fe Wine and Chile Fiesta puts on Sommelier-led lunches, kitchen demos at the Santa Fe School of Cooking, educational food and wine seminars, and the Champagne & Dirty Boots Brunch. This week-long event is fully the definition of a wild fiesta!
