Taos de la Tierra
2019 Post-Conference Press Trip
Media Placements
Five IFWTWA journalists participated in celebrating all that makes Taos so special.
The magic and indulgence of El Monte Sagrado Living Resort and Spa entranced attendees with its natural beauty and luxurious environment upon the group’s arrival. De La Tierra restaurant located at the resort was the perfect beginning to the trip. Starr Interiors grabbed the group’s attention with its vast array of beautiful textiles. A stop at the local chocolate maker, Chokola Bean to Bar, educated all on the steps to making perfect chocolate. Dinner at Stakeout on Outlaw Hill (where guests could ride horseback to dinner) provided a wonderful setting as well as a meal with local chefs and farmers. Cocktails followed at the boutique Lounge by Rolling Still Distillery.
A highlight for the group was seeing horno baking at Taos Pueblo led by Heritage Inspirations. Of course, Taos is known for its art, and the walking tour of many of the local galleries verified the wide variety available to art connoisseurs. Dinner was at Love Apple, home to local organic cooking set in what was once Placitas Chapel. Tango is big in this state, and a trip to Casa Gallina with PM Wines ended a memorable trip.
IFWTWA thanks our host for coordinating our stay.

For the Love of Chocolate at Chokola Bean to Bar in Taos
Who knew that as part of the chocolate making process, the chocolate bean ferments just like wine. I thought I knew a lot about chocolate. After all, I have eaten and loved it all my life. I found out I knew little.
