While winter can be bitterly cold, it also evokes a sense of calm, quiet, and coziness. It can also be such a wonderful time of year, as long as we make the most of it. While many of us prefer the other seasons of the year, I’ve always enjoyed the winter months. Bundled up to go outdoors or stay inside, winter is a cozy time of year! And there’s one cozy winter town in New Mexico you’ll have to plan on visiting this season. This town comes to life when there’s a blanket of snow covering the ground.

One of the most charming small towns in New Mexico, hands down, is Taos. Spring, summer, fall, or winter, it doesn't matter when you visit -- it's honestly so delightful and one of my favorite towns in the state. .

For those who can't wait to hit the slopes once the first snowfall of the season arrives, there's no better place to be than Taos. And Taos Ski Valley is one of the top-rated ski resorts in the U.S. Offering skiing, snowboarding, lodging, dining, and even a spa, it's no wonder why this is the place to be in winter.

During the first weekend of February, the Taos Winter Wine Festival is held. This event includes 25 wineries and is a favorite for many. Festival attendees can enjoy wine seminars, luncheons, tastings, and more.
