Winter in
  Santa Fe County


Santa Fe County is spectacular in the winter. The majestic mountains stand out even sharper against the deep blue skies when they are outlined by a fresh snowfall! What is it about adobe walls and snow that captivates the eye? In villages the farolitos are lit and the scent of piñon-fed fires wafts through the air. Let the question “Red or Green?” be answered by your taste-buds instead of your eyes when you cozy up to a meal of native chiles in this land that truly is “No Place Like Home.”

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Rancho de Chimayó Reborn

Rancho de ChimayoA few short months ago, things looked kind of bleak at Rancho de Chimayó. A disastrous kitchen fire gutted large portions of the classic Hacienda’s kitchen in July, 2008 and caused them to shutter their doors completely to both guests and diners.

The owner of Rancho de Chimayó, Florence Jaramillo, had visions of permanent closure and wondered if the struggle to re-open could be won. But the family-owned business did what families do best; they worked together to restore their beloved Hacienda back to its glory.

Long a destination for both locals and tourists, Rancho de Chimayó serves traditional Northern New Mexican cuisine made the way it has been made for generations. For many, a trip to Chimayó isn’t complete without a cool margarita on the back patio while waiting to feast on comidas nativas like their justly famous carne adovada.
