Join the BMW CCA New Mexico Chapter on Saturday, July 25, 2026 for a memorable summer drive through the scenic backroads of Northern New Mexico as we make our way to the historic Hacienda de los Martinez in Taos. Planned by Tourmeisters Scott and Donnette Wagner, this day trip combines engaging roads, fascinating history, and great company for a classic NM Chapter adventure.
We will gather at 9:00 a.m. at the Poeh Cultural Center in Pojoaque (78 Cities of Gold Rd., Santa Fe, NM) for a drivers’ meeting before departing promptly at 9:30 a.m. From there, we will enjoy a beautiful drive north through some of New Mexico’s most picturesque landscapes on our way to Taos.
Our destination, the Hacienda de los Martinez, offers a fascinating glimpse into life in Northern New Mexico during the early 1800s. Construction of the hacienda began in 1805 by Severino Martinez, whose family built a thriving mercantile and agricultural operation that helped shape the region’s history. Today, the restored hacienda serves as a museum filled with stories, architecture, and artifacts that bring New Mexico’s past to life. We plan to enjoy a group tour of the museum before heading to lunch at 5 Star Burgers in Taos for food, conversation, and camaraderie.
Whether you are a longtime chapter member or joining us for the first time, this promises to be a wonderful day of driving, history, and friendship in true BMW CCA style.
Please RSVP below by Thursday, July 23, 2026 so we can plan for museum admission and lunch accommodations. We hope you will join us for this unique Northern New Mexico adventure!
