Want to combine your ski vacation with a little wine tasting? The 20th Annual Taos Winter Wine Festival starts January 18 and runs through January 29. The festival is host to over 40 wineries and offers a wide variety wine and food events throughout Taos Ski Valley and the Town of Taos. Local restaurants host wine dinners and many winemakers and vineyard owners come to the festival to pour (and soak up the gorgeous scenery).The seminars are small and allow plenty of interaction. There are two Grand Tasting events held on the Friday of each week (January 20 and 27) and a silent auction of great wines benefits the Nature Conservancy of New Mexico and the Taos Community Foundation.
