Indulge in Santa Fe's World-Class Chocolate
Begin your romantic day leisurely with in-room coffee at a Santa Fe hotel. Around 10 a.m., head to the award-winning Kakawa Chocolate House for a luxurious start: sipping historical chocolate elixirs. Crafted from meticulous research into chocolate's past, these rich, deep drinks are meant to be savored slowly. With an extensive menu, couples can share and double the delight.
The way to the heart begins with a kiss of chocolate on the lips.
Chocolate lovers will appreciate Santa Fe's artisanal scene, recently highlighted by USA Today. Don't miss C.G. Higgins' two convenient locations for premium fudge—try the chipotle chile variety for a local kick. Stock up for later indulgence.
Mmmm, that chipotle chile adds a Santa Fe kick to C. G. Higgins Fudge.
Unwind at Ojo Caliente Mineral Springs
Embark on a scenic drive to Ojo Caliente Mineral Springs Resort & Spa, where New Mexico's natural wonders—like mule deer sightings and dramatic clouds—enhance the journey. Known historically for healing properties, these warm springs ("ojo caliente" means "warm spring") offer public pools rich in minerals or private soaks under the blue sky.
