Discover Corrales

Corrales offers plenty to experience. You’ll find a sample of it below, but please check our events or look for a specific business if you’re not seeing what you’re looking for.

Although incorporated only in the 1970s, the Village of Corrales was founded at the time of the Conquistadors, 400 years ago. This heritage is easily visible throughout the Village in repurposed historical buildings like Casa Perea (pictured above), Casa Vieja, and Perea’s Tijuana Bar, or in the Casa San Ysidro museum and the Historic Old San Ysidro Church. You can find a listing of all the other historic locations in Corrales and more information about Corrales’s history here.

The Village’s cultural heritage survives in the wineries that draw on the oldest wine making expertise in North America Milagro Vineyards, the farms that draw water from the Rio Grande (such as Alary Farm, Wagner Farm, Corrales Classic Farms and more), and the many horse corrals that give the Village its name (and offer rides, stabling and breeding, like Pine Ridge Arabians). That heritage is on full display in our famed 4th of July parade and Harvest Festival. To get a better feel for Corrales’ grounding in agriculture and enjoy the awesome nature in which Corrales is steeped, walk any of the interior acequias (ditches).  These pathways run the length of the village and can be accessed from various points in the village.

Ask villagers what they treasure the most about Corrales, and the answer will likely be the natural environment. You can experience it in so many ways: take one of our side roads off of Corrales Road to hike in the bosque (woods) and along the West bank of the Rio Grande; follow hidden trails to small beaches and enjoy the wildlife; look up to admire the very old cottonwoods, and down for recent plantings to rejuvenate the bosque; spot hot air balloons before, during and after Balloon Fiesta (and look for some performing a “splash and dash” in the Rio Grande); watch sandhill cranes squawking overhead and in the Rio Grande in the winter; or walk the beautiful path along the “clear ditch” – just above the bosque.

Visitors can spend a leisurely and relaxing mini-vacation at one of Corrales’ bed and breakfasts.  The friendly proprietors are eager to help you plan your activities and make the most of your time.
