What Is Not Included?

Meeting Location

Do I have to purchase tickets in advance? Can I pay cash for tickets?

Tickets must be purchased in advance, and classes often sell out quickly.  Please book well in advance to increase your chances of getting the day you prefer.  Tickets can be purchased with Visa, Mastercard, or American Express. Cash is not accepted.

If a class is sold out, can I get on a waiting list?

We do not offer a waiting list for classes.  If the time slot you'd like is sold out, we suggest you check another date/time for availability!

How much food and wine is served during the class?

Please refer to the "Description" tab for a complete description of the menu. Most people are not hungry afterward.

What if I have food allergies?

Please let us know when purchasing your tickets if anyone in your group has food allergies or other dietary restrictions. With advance notice we will do our best to accommodate you.

Can children come to the class?

No. Because there is alcohol involved and this is a 21 and over class, children may not attend the class.

Are classes held in bad weather?

These classes run rain or shine. Please be sure to check the day's weather and dress appropriately.

Do I tip the guide and wait staff at the restaurant??

While the ticket price includes gratuity for the wait staff at the restaurant, it does not include gratuity for your Food Tour New Mexico guide who will be leading the class. A standard gratuity for a guide is 15%- 20% of the ticket price.  If you have a great time, gratuities are graciously accepted by our guides.

Do I tip the sommeliers?

Gratuities for the servers and sommeliers teaching the classes ARE INCLUDED in the price of a ticket.

Is this class pet friendly?

Although our four legged friends would love to taste too, no pets are allowed in our classes.

Is the class wheelchair accessible?

Yes, the Coyote Cafe is wheel chair accessible.

Do we only drink wine and sample food?

No!  This is an experience full of information, demonstrations, stories and great food.  Guests will be treated to one of Santa Fe’s finest dining establishments and will meet real locals that know the ins and outs of this great western town.  You are in for an educational, cultural, and delicious afternoon! 

What types of wine will be served during the class?

In addition to 5 delectable tapas, each participant will enjoy a Bynum Chardonnay, a Siduri Pinot Noir, a Domaine de Nizas Rosé, a Taylor Fladgate 20-Year Tawny Port, and a Gruet Blanc de Noir Sparkling. A Mini Señorita Margarita will also be provided.

Are bathrooms available during class?

Yes, there are bathrooms available at any time.

Are cameras allowed in the class?
