Are you looking for ways to shake up your usual dinner date? New Mexico is home to some unique restaurants that serve delicious meals in offbeat locations or with cool shows. However, if you’re looking for a truly unforgettable dining experience, then you’ll want to stay tuned for one place that offers an adventurous dining experience!
You might be familiar with the Red River Ski and Summer Area, a popular recreation area in the mountains near Taos. It just happens to also be the location of an incredible dinner tour!
Your mode of transportation will be this: a heated snow coach that can seat up to 12 people and rides up the side of the mountain to the Ski Tip Restaurant for a specially-made meal. Along the way, you’ll get to see…
...beautiful mountain views, of course,…
...and the snow-making process before eventually making it to the restaurant for dinner.
The dinner tour is generally offered from mid-December through mid-March and has been offered for more than six years! It costs $115 for adults and $87 for children up to age 12. The entire event will take approximately two hours, with departure times at 5:30 p.m. and 7:15 p.m.
You won't need to worry about staying bundled up when you arrive! The restaurant is warm and cozy compared to the blustery conditions outside.
You'll get to enjoy a three-course meal lovingly prepared by the in-house chef, Kai. Each meal begins with dinner rolls and a crisp salad followed by a steak, chicken, or seafood entrée. Afterward, you can enjoy a decadent dessert: red velvet cake, cheesecake, or a chocolate marquise. Yum!
Non-alcoholic beverages are included with the meal. You will need to pay extra for any alcoholic beverages.
From there, you’ll ride back down the mountain to the Main Chalet. Look out the window of the snow coach and you just might see the chef skiing down the mountain with you!
The snow coach dinner tours are offered through the Red River Ski and Summer Area, located at 400 Pioneer Road in Red River. The tour is available through March 23 and reservations are required for the dinners. You can find details about the dinner tours and other fun things to do at the recreation area by visiting their website or Facebook page.
