A New Mexico festival pairing serious wine tasting with the state's famously chile-forward cuisine.
New Mexican cuisine is built around the state's own distinctive chile varieties, and this festival — running since 1991 — pairs that tradition with a genuinely serious wine programme, bringing together dozens of wineries and restaurants across a week of tastings and dinners in Santa Fe.
A grand tasting held under the New Mexico sky remains the centrepiece, with the state's famed red and green chile sauces appearing throughout the food on offer — a proper showcase of one of America's most distinctive regional cuisines.
