🏔️❄️ There’s a moment when you drive into Taos in winter—when the mountains are dusted in snow and the town’s lights twinkle like old friends—that you know you’re somewhere special.

For decades, winter in Taos has been steeped in cultural traditions, seasonal gatherings, and a deep connection to the landscape. And each year, Taos celebrates the holiday season with unique events and customs that reflect its blend of Native American, Hispanic, and Anglo influences.

Locals and visitors come from all around. For some, it’s a yearly visit, a chance to seek out an experience they’ve cherished for decades. For others, it’s a first encounter, an adventure promising the season’s most treasured memories.

Either way, no one leaves disappointed. 🏔️❄️

Every so often, the perfect chance comes along to show your loved ones just how deeply you know them. It’s not about socks, mugs, or popcorn samplers (as fun as they are); it’s about gifting something unforgettable, something that speaks to the soul.

For the flavor lover, the food adventurer, or the kitchen maestro in your life, why not take their taste buds on a journey? Let them savor the essence of Taos with these inspired and delicious gift ideas:

🍸 A locally crafted bottle of infused vodka or a sampling experience from Rolling Still Distillery and Lounge. Distilled with Taos mountain water, this selection of vodkas challenges the palate with infused flavors such as pecan and green chile.

🌶️ The Sampler Set from Taos Hum Hot Sauce. As featured on Hot Ones, Taos Hum sauces are made from fresh peppers that are hand-harvested and roasted over an applewood fire.

🍵 Bisco-Tea-Cho Tea from Tea.o.graphy. Inspired by New Mexico’s official state cookie, the biscochito, this blend is created with finely stone-ground matcha, cinnamon, anise, and whole cane sugar.

☕ Fresh and locally-roasted coffee from The Coffee Apothecary. The folks at this local spot take a thoughtful approach to coffee roasting that sets them apart as a must-go coffee destination for Taos locals and visitors alike.

🍫🧣 Small-batch bonbons and a piece of Golightly cashmere from Chocolate + Cashmere. With a unique complexity to each bon bon and the softness and warmth of cashmere, these two experiences go hand in hand to make the ideal holiday gift.

🍴 A culinary experience at SUCHNESS. This recently-opened contemporary American restaurant in Taos has locals and visitors raving about the dining experience.

🍷 Not many people know that wine has been made in New Mexico since in 1629—more than 50 years before grape vines even made it to California.

By the 19th century, New Mexico was producing nearly a million gallons of wine annually. And since the mid-1970s, the wineries of Taos have been producing wines of the highest quality and providing exceptional tasting experiences. 🍇

Each of our Taos wineries is truly a family venture, and the attention to detail shows in every sip, from crisp rieslings to rich and robust merlots and cabernet sauvignons. Taos’s wineries have a distinct character and are dedicated to enhancing the quality and reputation of New Mexico wine, both locally and nationally. 🍷

We welcome you to explore a few this holiday season, and maybe even find a new favorite.
