Start your Santa Fe weekend the right way with Vigilante Guides: the premier local tour company offering all-inclusive food, wine, and history experiences. Perfect for bachelorette parties, birthdays, and group getaways.

When your group touches down in Santa Fe, whether you’re here for a bachelorette party, a birthday weekend, or just a long-overdue getaway, there’s only one right way to kick things off: with a tour that blends food, drinks, culture, and unforgettable views. That’s where Vigilante Guides comes in. Run by locals, powered by generations of knowledge, and crafted with your celebration in mind, these all-inclusive Santa Fe tours are more than just sightseeing, they’re your VIP pass to the city’s best.

We’re breaking down exactly why Vigilante Guides is your go-to for an unforgettable group trip to Santa Fe, whether you’re sipping wine, chasing ghosts, or tasting your way through centuries of Southwestern history.

Why Start Your Santa Fe Weekend with a Vigilante Guides Tour?

They’re Locals…Like, Really Local

At the heart of Vigilante Guides is Jerard Carlos Vigil, a 12th-generation New Mexican whose passion for food, culture, and storytelling runs deep. Born and raised in the northern village of Chama, Jerard created Vigilante Guides to help visitors see Santa Fe the way locals do: with heart, flavor, and just a little bit of mischief. (Yes, that Vigil: the company’s name is a nod to the Spanish word “vigilante,” meaning “watchful.”)

His team includes passionate locals like Paul Hillman, a former NYC art director turned Santa Fe history buff. Together, they’ve created something rare: a tour company that doesn’t feel like a tour company…it feels like a friend showing you the ropes.

“Our goal is simple: we take care of every detail so you can focus on the fun.”

Their Tours Are Made for Groups (And Yes, That Includes Bachelorette Parties)

Whether you’re celebrating your last fling before the ring, a birthday with your besties, or a much-needed friend-cation, these curated experiences are the perfect way to bring your crew together.

Tour options include:

1. Downtown Santa Fe Wine & Tapas Walking Tour

  • Sip your way through three local tasting rooms with paired tapas at every stop.

  • Learn about the 400-year history of winemaking in New Mexico.

  • The only walking wine tour in Santa Fe.

2. Plaza Sip, Savor & History Walking Tour

  • A four-hour feast for the senses through Santa Fe’s historic Plaza.

  • Food, drinks (yes, margaritas!), and storytelling at three hand-picked local spots.

  • Great for foodies, culture lovers, and curious first-timers.

3. Santa Fe’s Haunted Ghost and Spirits Walking Tour

  • Hear eerie tales while sipping craft cocktails from haunted haunts.

  • Includes two drinks and unforgettable stories you won’t hear anywhere else.

  • Perfect for spooky season or your fearless friend group.

4. Wine Country Day Trip (Luxury Mercedes-Benz Included)

  • Hop in a private Sprinter van and head to three boutique wineries.

  • Includes food, tastings, and jaw-dropping views of New Mexico’s wine country.

  • Optional stop in Chimayó, famous for its healing church and rich cultural history.

All the Fun, None of the Planning

You want the experience, not the stress. Vigilante Guides handles everything from logistics to reservations, so all you need to do is show up and soak it in. Whether you’re into wine, history, haunted tales, or gourmet bites, they’ve built a tour for every vibe.

Vigilante Guides isn’t just about fun, they’re building a local ecosystem. By partnering with Santa Fe’s small businesses and sharing the city’s rich cultural fabric with visitors, they’re creating a tour experience that’s personal, community-focused, and one-of-a-kind.

“We want tourists and locals alike to experience our city the way we do every day…to live like a local, Santa Fe style."

Ready to Ride?

Your group deserves more than a basic itinerary. Book a tour with Vigilante Guides and start your Santa Fe adventure with purpose, flavor, and a little local magic. Whether you’re walking, sipping, or riding through the high desert, this is the kind of kickoff your weekend was waiting for.
