Wine, Chile & Pure Santa Fe: Inside the 2025 Wine & Chile Fiesta with Mary Hallahan
Santa Fe’s most delicious week is here. In this episode of The Real Santa Fe, host Bunny Terry sits down with Mary Hallahan, Executive Director of the Santa Fe Wine & Chile Fiesta, to share how a one-day tasting in 1991 became a five-day, city-wide celebration of food, wine, and community.
We cover exactly what to expect September 26–28, 2025—from Chile Friday at Fort Marcy Park and the Grand Tasting (80+ wineries; 60+ restaurants) to winery dinners across top Santa Fe restaurants, expert-led seminars, Sky Railway’s wine rides, and Sunday favorites like Rosé All Day and Bubbles & Boots. Mary also spotlights the Fiesta’s mission: supporting Santa Fe’s restaurant and hospitality community, funding food education for kids, and creating pathways for emerging sommeliers.
You’ll get insider tips on tickets, ride share and shuttle options, pacing at altitude, what to wear (hello, fashion on the lawn), and why this weekend lands in Santa Fe’s perfect weather window.
