Join us for one of the most anticipated events of the Fiesta—an unforgettable afternoon featuring an all-star lineup of chefs, our Winery of the Year, and an exciting Live Auction full of once-in-a-lifetime experiences. We’re thrilled to welcome this year’s culinary talent: Meg Bickford of Commander’s Palace in New Orleans, Jason Fullilove of Norma in West Hollywood, Tony Smith of Red Sage restaurant at Buffalo Thunder Casino & Resort, and Hue-Chan Karels and Erica Tai of Alkemē at Open Kitchen in Santa Fe. Together, they’ll present a collaborative, multi-course luncheon that highlights seasonal ingredients and showcases each chef’s unique culinary perspective. Each course will be paired with wines from Merry Edwards Winery—our 2025 Winery of the Year—celebrated for its elegant Pinot Noirs and deep Sonoma roots. The afternoon culminates in a high-energy live auction led by Greg Quiroga, featuring over 30 remarkable lots—think rare and large-format wines, private chef dinners, and unforgettable travel experiences. Every paddle raise supports the Santa Fe Wine & Chile Fiesta’s mission to provide year-round wine and culinary arts education and programming.
Please Note: Seating will be pre-assigned by the organizer for this event. For larger parties wishing to sit together, we recommend purchasing your tickets in one transaction.
