The Proof Is in the Chile
I ordered my Ristra after visiting Sante Fe NM. They are everywhere as decorations but hard to find to buy. The Ristras that I'd seen looked a lot different than the one I received from Hatch Chilli. I was surprised how plump and full and rich in color. I had it treated so not edible. I placed it where the morning sun hits it. 😊

These ristras are well made and beautiful. We enjoy them hanging in our kitchen window. The ristras were packed well and arrived in great condition.
This is quite possibly the most beautiful ristra I have ever seen. Each pod, so red and vibrant, and the coating was masterfully done to preserve it for longer. It’s full, vibrant, and brings so much life into the room. Thank you.
This new ristra replaced an old sad looking one. It's a beautiful addition outside my front door.
fabulous in every way. i love this company!!!
Looks awesome
It is beautiful It is a gift and I’m sure they will lovenit
they are fresh and just what i am used to. I spent 36 years in NM and i now live in Phoenix Az and no where here can you find the original NM chili. I clean and grind the pods myself and that way i can continue to make my carne con chili in the fashion I know and appreciate
I moved from New Mexico to Alabama and had to make myself feel as if I was still in Santa Fe. This was the one thing that could fit in that space to make it work! I also bought their great green chilies which my wife and I really miss...

Was excited to get. Feel like I'm in New Mexico. Puts a smile on my face when I look at it. Only one pepper fell out.
Sent to family in Seattle and haf them sign a waiver that im not responsible HAHA. THANK YOU Wonderful B-Day & XMAS GIFT
they are beautiful. really love them.
It is fresh and beautiful and looks great hanging in our kitchen This shop is definitely the most reliable place in Santa Fe to purchase a ristra, especially if it has to be shipped.
Very beautiful and festive! Arrived in great shape. Bought this as a gift, but now I want one for myself!
Very bright and beautiful!
Beautiful ristras and I was not only able to use the chiles but also have a beautiful, functional, and tasty piece of New Mexico in my home kitchen. Very pleased and have ordered since. One was a very well received gift.
Ssent as a gift to my sister in Philadelphia and she iis very pleased. I send one every year and Hatch has been great.
I have ordered from this company before and always receive a beautiful ristra. The one I received this year was the most beautiful one yet! I highly recommend this company.!
Ristra & Wreath FAQs
A few small pods may loosen in transit — that's normal. If a piece is heavily damaged, contact us within 7 days of delivery for a replacement.
Under a covered porch, yes — direct rain and full sun will damage it quickly. Indoors lasts much longer.
Most ristras use chile pequin or similar small, brightly-colored dried chiles. Wreaths often use larger Hatch-style pods. Variety is noted in the product description.
Mildly — a soft, smoky-chile aroma when fresh. The scent fades over a few months indoors. Some people love it; if you're sensitive to smells, hang in a ventilated area.
Yes — these are a signature New Mexico gift, especially during the holidays. They ship well, look striking, and carry a piece of Hatch Valley tradition.
