Taos Small Group Artisan Walking Tour + Chocolate

What your day looks like

Taos has been on the map as an art colony since the late 1800s and it has a reputation for its unique talented creative populace. We know you come to this high desert mountain town to not only experience the ethereal light and vivid landscape but to also encounter this dynamic community, where they can’t help but bring their remarkable art to life. You’ll glean an insider’s perspective to the hidden art gems as you walk the back roads of downtown Taos with your local guide. Starting on Kit Carson Road at El Monte Sagrado Resort, you’ll weave in and out of winding alleyways exploring the historical context while you pause to mix with the local art scene. The overall tour theme will be to illustrate and experience the vibrancy, color, and character of the artists who have contributed so much to Taos’ eccentric story. Follow in the artists’ footsteps while we visit a variety of studios, engaging with their inventive creators and appreciating their inspired creations. The tour will finish with a local Bean to Bar indulgence. We’ll go to Chokola Bean to Bar, which makes organic, small-batch, exquisitely crafted chocolate. Here, you’ll taste the supremely sipable chocolate elixir, and as you taste the aromas of carefully infused flavors, you’ll also learn about their chocolate bars artisanally wrapped in gold. You can’t help but see outlandish individuals that embody Taos’ funky artistic spirit while walking the streets of downtown. So, immerse yourself in the local artisan population with our Taos walking tour and let us introduce you to these offbeat backroads of Taos, while you get a taste of chocolatey goodness.
