This Santa Fe staple is a must for a hearty, organic breakfast. Order the huevos motuleños or smoked trout hash. Trust us.
Midday – Wine Tasting Adventure
Head north for an afternoon on the Santa Fe Wine Trail. We recommend:
- Vivác Winery – A high-altitude gem at 6,000 ft with family-crafted reds and estate-grown fruit, served in a charming adobe tasting room and gardens

- La Chiripada Winery – A family-run winery in Dixon, known for its cozy setting, multi‑award wines, and scenic Rio Embudo Valley views
Lunch Break – Picnic at a Vineyard
Grab a beautifully curated charcuterie and cheese platter from Picnic NM—local, seasonal, and artfully arranged by Lauren Stutzman. You’ll enjoy regionally sourced cheese, meats, nuts, spreads, and even edible flowers in a stunning presentation perfect for an alfresco lunch amid vines
Evening – Hands-On Cooking Class
Join a class at the Santa Fe School of Cooking and learn to make authentic New Mexican dishes—enchiladas, tamales, or posole—then feast on your creations with a local wine pairing.
Day 3: Brunch, Markets & Culinary Keepsakes
Morning – Brunch & Browse
Start your final day with brunch at Paloma—churro waffles, smoked mole eggs, and a mezcal mimosa? Yes, please.
Then head to the Santa Fe Farmers’ Market in the Railyard District to pick up small-batch sauces, lavender honey, artisan bread, and more foodie treasures to take home.
Midday – Art & Chocolate
Pop into Cacao Santa Fe, where chocolate is treated like fine wine. Take a tasting tour and sip their signature drinking chocolate. Then explore a few nearby galleries while you digest.
Afternoon – Relax & Reflect
Unwind back at your rental—maybe with a final glass of rosé on the patio or a soak in the hot tub of your Two Casitas getaway!
Evening – Farewell Dinner at Geronimo
Wrap up your trip with a splurge-worthy meal at this refined, iconic restaurant on Canyon Road. The elk tenderloin or wasabi Caesar salad are standout picks, best enjoyed with a Santa Fe Syrah.
