Santa Fe Harvest Festival runs now through November 23, 2011, and if you like food and cooking and you plan to spend time in the City Different over the next few weeks, you could score some savings and join in the events.
Santa Fe Harvest Festival is basically a Santa Fe restaurant promotion with a bunch of events and classes too. To take part you have to purchase a Santa Fe Harvest Festival pass at $35. That gives the pass holder discounts at about 40 Santa Fe restaurants, including 25% off entrees at The Pink Adobe, the Rio Chama restaurant, La Casa Sena, and the Red Sage Restaurant (in the Hilton Santa Fe Golf Resort & Spa at Buffalo Thunder), and 20% off food at Blue Corn Cafe, Galisteo Bistro, Ristra, and Plaza Cafe Southside. Most discounts are ONLY for the pass holder, some are for two diners. See all the pass discounts at Santa Fe restaurants
The pass also provides free admission to *most* of the Santa Fe Harvest Festival culinary events and the cooking classes with chefs at their restaurants. Some cooking classes are specially for kids and families, which is kinda cool, although the events and classes admission are only for the pass holder, so you’d need one for each person attending. Pass holders also get 25% off Santa Fe School of Cooking events to November 23, plus they get discounts on Santa Fe hotels .
Now, I reckon you’d have to eat out a lot by November 23 to recoup the $35 and make some savings, or attend several of the events to make it worth your while. But for foodies and cooks in the Santa Fe area, or if you’re visiting Santa Fe or live near enough to take advantage of the benefits, it’s a pretty good deal.
You can also buy a premium pass at $160, which gives you everything the $35 pass does, plus admission to a Grand Gourmet Food and Wine Expo, and the Best of the Fest Gala Dinner.
The Santa Fe Harvest Festival pass is available for purchase online at the link.
