Welcome to Santa Fe Wine & Chile Fiesta!
What started one afternoon in the Old Sanbusco Mall Parking lot on the last Saturday of September 1991 as a one-day food and wine event with 20 restaurants and 20 wineries, has become more than thirty years later an annual five-day event celebrating the best Santa Fe has to offer with over 60 participating restaurants and 90 winery partners. Over 3500 guests arrive in Santa Fe each September for this one-of-a-kind Fiesta.

Each year, Santa Fe Wine & Chile Fiesta thoughtfully curates a line-up of renown wineries to bring our guests the best quality programming. The wineries participating bring a high level of representation to educate and engage even the most discerning.

Santa Fe Wine & Chile’s Artist of the Year
"Indian culture has in the past been ignored to a great extent. It is for me . . . a rich source of creative expression. An intertwining of my Indian culture with contemporary art expression has given me a greater insight concerning my art." – Kevin Red Star

1972, it began; 2022, it continues. This is not an epitaph. KLWM is alive, well, and Santa Fe Wine & Chile Fiesta is proud to celebrate fifty years of them bringing you the best wines France and Italy have to offer.
