Corrales Winery

Beautiful setting, delicious wine. They make you feel like family, if you are lucky you can get to pet the big white dog :)

We visited and sat at the wine bar with a gorgeous view of the Sandias. Karen was great about explaining their wines and we enjoyed tasting 4 wines for $5, waived with one bottle purchased. Bottle prices were reasonable and we enjoyed taking two bottles with us. Highly recommended!

What wonderful place to have a glass of wine. Beautiful vineyard and views of the Sandra's from their tasting room. Nice patio out back. Went for their Valentine's Day chocolate and wine pairings and enjoyed it very much. Great Petit Verdot and surprisingly a nice Riesling.

My husband and I came here for the Memorial Weekend picnic. It was perfect! The place was so serene in the lil town of Corrales. We were greeted by a very friendly staff and with a complementary wine tasting for 2 of their wines, Reisling and Cab. Their Reisling is my favorite of all the Reisling wines I have ever tried from all around the country. We had 1 glass each of our wine of choice then we proceeded to the lawn for the luncheon picnic. The paella was great, the fruit salads were all fresh and sweet, the german hotdog was very tasty and we also got icecream! But aside from the food, we mostly enjoyed the atmosphere, it wasnt too crowded and not loud. Just what we needed this weekend! There was also a perfect view of the Sandia mountains and their orchard and winery. I will be posting pictures for proof. The owners were very pleasant and they made sure that we got all that we wanted.We highly recommend this place and we are definitely going back!

So I've never been kicked out of a bar or winery...let alone when I haven't had a drop of alcohol...until today. I'm in town working on a film and simultaneously house sitting for some friends that are off to Europe. Since this little town is adorbs, I decided to go for a Sunday stroll and explore when I found this beautiful winery. As my friends know, jack pot for me!! I didn't have my ID but I walked in anyway. I wanted to see what they had on their wine list so that I could return and purchase a few bottles for myself, my boss, and my friends that are off traveling. I was literally kicked out and she couldn't get rid of me fast enough. I know I was out walking and it was warm, but there is no way I had BO, the winery is literally down the road from where I'm staying, so what gives?! She said something about strict New Mexico laws...lady, I'm a wino. I know the law. I was looking for a dry Cab for my boss and I noticed she had a Muscat on her list, and as I was asking she literally yanked the menu out of my hand. I've never been treated so poorly. Maybe the wine tours bring in enough business that she didn't need me to straggle in and take up her time with my questions. I'm giving this one star because it's a beautiful place and she had a sweet German Shepherd hanging out, but I'd never come back to try their wine. I'm here for three more weeks so I'll go buy a case of wine at one of the other 4 local wineries. And so will my friends.

Biking the acequia to this winery makes the trip (almost) worth your time. The Corrales bike & wine tour includes a venture to this wide, eloquent estate, and you'll feel the pain in your hamstrings the next day. Bring a mountain bike, the sand along the acequia will make you dig. And it's (almost) worth the ride.Generally, I don't dog on a business for service issues when I know they're buried, as was the case during the tour. Lines for wines were somewhat tasking, they certainly could've used another server or two, but I wasn't complaining. Rather, my group noted a peculiar attitude issue that one of the owners dealt out toward one of person in our group, totally unexplained, while the rest of us were served. It didn't blow up into anything and when we all sat down on the patio following the incident we only discussed it in passing, but it still tugs at me. Of the wineries I visited during the tour, this one had the most elitist vibe.The wine was good, some of it very good, the Cabernet was probably the standout, and they really dodged the sugary sweet inclinations of neighboring vineyards. I thought the dessert wines measured up. The interior, a wide serving bar with a view of the mountains, managed to capture what I'd imagine a Napa Valley winery would seek to frame; the comparatively lush valley to the east was very pretty. But I'm guessing, and this is only a guess, that the business protocol in general reflected what our friend experienced. They're looking for high-end customers. In New Mexico. Not a smart gamble.

I was really considering whether or not to leave this review. My boyfriend and I have been here a few times and have had a lovely time, but that was when we were the only customers in the room on slow days. Today, my friend and I, who are both in our thirties, stopped in to try wines for her to purchase for her wedding. We were in great spirits and very much looking forward to tasting some wine together. It was very awkward that we stood there, however, without anyone's attention for many minutes, the two servers glancing at us but never asking to help us. We both were noticing the odd looks in our direction, and started whispering to each other that we should leave soon if it doesn't turn around. Right when we were about to leave, they finally asked if they could see my ID--and they inspected it like it was a foreign document, rather than a normal in-state license of a 31-year-old. Already feeling weird, I told them I was 31 as they kept looking at it, and one of the two women said 'no way.' I told them never mind and that we were going to leave, and my friend decided she had to speak up and let them know how unwelcoming it was for us. The responses the two women gave were strange and cold, ranging from accusing us of not actually knowing what we wanted (we both knew immediately...) to telling us the reason we hadn't been helped sooner was that one of them had to go and her glasses from the back to look at our IDs (why only us?!). Again, we are in our thirties, so whatever complex they have about young people in their tasting room is unfounded. The only silver lining is that, when we finally left in really horrible moods, we saw a sign for Pasando Tiempo and had a lovely time there instead. Other customers in the tasting room confirmed that Corrales Winery is rude to "younger" clientele. Be warned.

Don't go here if you're having a good day. The staff judges how sober you are by your mood and "looking into your eyes". Being overly happy and having a good day means you're completely wasted. Our group was completely sober. Oh and when they deem you to be "intoxicated" it apparently also gives them a license to be rude as hell to you. Pretty hypocritical even if it was true. Comparable to a window installer telling his client how ugly their new windows are after they pay you to install them. Go here if you enjoy an untrained DWI checkpoint experience right when you show up instead of a lovely day at the winery.

My favorite winery in NM! It's a great place to stop by and have a tasting and/or glass of wine with a spectacular view of the Sandia mountains. Keith, Bobby, and Carol are always a joy to visit with and learn about wine! Tip-bring some food, buy a bottle of wine and have a picnic on their beautiful lawn while enjoying the view! Awesome wine and view!

What a wonderful find this winery is!Several of us traveled in from other states to celebrate a family birthday. We went here on a whim, and it was delightful! Karen greeted us (all EIGHT of us!), got us seated, and told us the story of the winery.Meanwhile, the scenery was breathtaking and the wines were delicious! We bought a half case and the weekend wasn't half over before we realized we should have bought twice as much.Thank you for an absolutely wonderful time. When I travel to the Albuquerque area again, this place will be at the top of my list of places I want to go.
