Awesome review, Sandra. You nailed the basics, thanks for creating this biz listing. The Corrales Bike & Wine Tour could (and should) be a defining celebration of this antiquated, lovely little town north of Albuquerque. I've lived here nearly 20 years, and this tour opened my eyes to the breadth of Corrales I'd never previously known. It's a great bike ride and a smart way to taste some craft wineries. A twelve mile loop, you can plan to spend an afternoon leisurely sipping some tasty pours and exploring this territory. My basic perceptions: Corrales needs to get behind this, support it, and provide a safe cycling lane, a big one, for the entirety of the event. From the get-go, the loop didn't feel safe for cyclists. The Duke City Marathon, for example, allows runners an avenue (the bosque trail) to run free. The same should be true for this tour, moreso because the riders have sipped a few glasses. On the day of the Tour there should be a well regulated and carefully policed lane for cyclists. Some idiot honked at me when I attempted to pass another biker on the road. I didn't tell him/her then, but I'll say it now: fuck off, asshat. We own the road as much as you do. The wineries that represent are typical of New Mexican vino, a smattering of sweet stuff and a few adventurous pours. TAKE A MOUNTAIN BIKE, the ride to Corrales Winery will not support your street bike. Come for the adventure. I never knew this tiny town had a flourishing suburban heart, and I was thrilled to discover the outskirts, even if they looked precisely like Rio Rancho proper. Good wine, good ride, good times. Next April, put this on your calendar.

When I saw the flier for this event, I got really excited about it and messaged my friends right away. What's better than wine and exercise? 12 mile bike ride? Pfft, no sweat!! First of my friends and I are in no means "great shape" I would say we are your average moms. If you're not an expert bike rider like us, here are some tips if you decide to try it in August or next year. First, if you're not familiar with area, check out the map and take a quick cruise to see if it's something you can do. Pack plenty of water and some snacks to enjoy while you rest at each stop. My friends and I packed some fruit, cheese and crackers and it kept us energized. My last piece of advice would be to definitely wear a helmet. It's not mandatory, but the ride is mostly along a busy road. Better to be safe than sorry right? It was a great experience, friends and I had a blast and it was great to try the different wines. At the end of the tour, they had a Jazz band and food for everyone so that made the experience even better. Oh and if you buy a bottle at one of the wineries, you don't have to worry about how you're going to carry it because they have this great service that picks up your bottle(s) from the wineries with your name on them and you can claim them at the end. I recommend this event for any wine lover. My friends and I will be doing it again next year.

Art, Agriculture, Ambience

• Village of Corrales

Critter Friendly

It is safe to say most people in Corrales love critters. Of course, there may be exceptions, but I don’t know them. I have seen traffic on the main road come to a stop, because there’s an animal in the road. The local dog catcher knows most of the dog’s names and usually takes them back where they belong rather than taking them to the pound. The town elects a pet mayor every fall, with goats, chickens, horses, dogs and other critters vying for the dubious honor. The local convenience store has a shaded hitching post and water trough for the horses.

Agriculture

Corrales feels like being in the country, though the largest mall in the state is about 10-minutes away. There are bike trails, launch sites on the river for paddle boarding and floating, ample dirt lanes for walking or running, and fields that readily grow crops.

If it sounds idyllic, that’s because it is, though I admit bias. I live in Corrales. The community is quirky in all the best ways; a blend of art, agriculture and a deliberately slower pace of life. The agricultural tradition began with Puebloans cultivating the flood plains of the Rio Grande.

The narrow, green space attracts gardeners and farmers. It is the type of community where a neighbor brings you fresh eggs and another gives you fresh honey. If you need alpaca wool, that is readily available. It is a friendly, down to earth community, where everyone waves. There are a lot of folks on horseback and many of the businesses provide hitching posts, with a few offering discount to customers who arrive on horse vs. a car.

Wagner Farms and Rio Grande Valley Chile

Wagner Farms , and the Wagner family, are a part of Corrales’ agricultural legacy. Four generations have tilled the soil in Corrales (since 1910). Whereas Hatch’s green chile is well known and well regarded beyond New Mexico’s boundaries, other communities also provoke autumnal green chile treks. Wagner Farms is one of those. The line next to the roasters in the fall is daunting on the weekends in late fall. The smell is overwhelming, inducing an immediate Pavlovian response. The farm stand sells a variety of produce based on what is being harvested. The restaurant is open throughout the summer and early fall. In mid to late September Wagner Farmland Experience creates a corn maze north of the produce market, with a pumpkin patch and hay rides for families.

For those unfamiliar with our ways in New Mexico: it is a fall ritual to buy bushels of chile. We roast them and freeze them for use in everything throughout the winter. Running out of chile before the following year’s harvest is a crisis that most residents would prefer to avoid.

There are galleries throughout Corrales, with the community hosting gallery tours and Art in the Park from spring through fall. There are inexpensive, or free, concerts held regularly at historic San Ysidro church. Corrales Main Street hosts a garden tour in Corrales every June.  Corrales hosts a Bike & Wine tour twice a year, in April and August, because there are four vineyards in a tiny town.

The Grower’s Market is every Sunday from early spring through late fall, 9 am to Noon. They host live local music and provide a great selection of locally grown fruits and vegetables, with many Corrales growers participating.

Corrales is sandwiched between two of the largest cities in the state, Albuquerque and Rio Rancho. The community has every urban amenity within a stone’s throw from the farm.

The main drag, Corrales Road, passes by several dining options, from the culinary excellence and well rounded wine menu of Indigo Crow to the comfort food at Hannah & Nate’s and Perea’s (fantastic chile cheese burger). Additionally, all of the above have great patios with shade.

Corrales Bistro Brewery provides excellent the tap options. You can park your horse out back in the designated horse parking. Village Pizza is the ‘go-to’ pizza joint. They deliver in the village of Corrales and provide equestrian drive-thru.

Parades are very popular, because they provide a good excuse to pull out all the tractors, trot out the horses and dress up the goats (and a variety of other pets) in comical costumes. The 4th of July festivities and Harvest Festival in late September are two of the larger events, but those certainly aren’t the only parades.

The village of Corrales is named based on the Spanish word for corrals. The area was used for grazing by Spaniards who settled here in the early 1700s. Prior to their arrival in 1540, Tiguex Indians farmed the Rio Grande river plain from Algodones to Albuquerque for centuries. Pit house sites on the sandy hills rising to the mesa date to about 500 AD. Eventually these pit houses evolved into permanent settlements, with multiple above-ground structures closer to the river. The early inhabitants also took advantage of the rich, sandy loam soil, supplementing access to wild game with cultivated corns, beans and squash ( “The three sisters” ).

After the Spanish Conquistador Coronado and his troops attacked Zuni at Hawikuh in 1540, his army rapidly consumed the Zuni’s food supply. With two thousand troops in tow, you can imagine how quickly it took a toll on the village’s resources. The Zuni told the conquistadors about the farmers in the river valley to the east.

Though there seems to be confusion about Coronado’s objectives on the banks of the Rio Grande, with many believing that he was looking for gold, that was not the case. He was looking for food and he found it. The Rio Grande flood plain is a fertile area in an otherwise harsh, arid region. The dense Cottonwood Bosque lining the river banks, currently the largest Cottonwood forest in the world , provided plentiful hunting grounds for the original inhabitants. There were buffalo and elk in the Sandias further east. The land that is now Corrales was one of many agricultural communities in the river valley. Two un excavated pueblo ruins exist in the village. Residents have discovered numerous pithouses and artifacts in their fields and backyards.

Alameda Land Grant

In 1710, the Alameda Land Grant was given to Corporal Francisco Montes Vigil, a soldier in the Spanish army. The Spanish introduced new crops, including wheat, barley, onions, lettuce, radishes and cabbage. 17th century missionaries brought fruit trees and grape vines. Due to the distance from the main trading route, little was recorded about Corrales during the first 150 years of Spanish occupation. The census recorded 687 residents in 1870. Most were farmers, ranchers or laborers.

The trading markets expanded after Mexico won its independence from Spain in 1821 and, again, when New Mexico became a U.S. territory in 1848. The American takeover opened New Mexico to new settlers, with European farmers from Italy and France moving to the fertile valley in the 1860s. Among the Italian families were the Palladinis, Targhettas and Salces. French families included the Alarys, Imberts, Leplats, and Lermusiaux.

The Alary family purchased land toward the north end of Corrales in 1879. They were growing several varieties of grapes by the 1880s. Corrales was known for its vineyards and wine by 1900, with most of it produced by the French and Italian settlers. Corrales became known for its vineyards and the making of wine, brandy, and, during Prohibition, whiskey for fifty years. Most of the vineyards were gone, replaced by acres of orchards, pastures and cornfields by the 1930s, though many of those families still farm in Corrales.

The first English family to move to Corrales was the Thompson family. They lived at the far north end of the Corrales valley. The Thompson brothers purchased 55,000 acres of the common grazing land on the mesa where Rio Rancho is now located in 1923 and opened the Alameda Cattle Company. They had 3,000 to 5,000 head of Herefords and about 150 thoroughbred horses. When the ranch sold in the 1950s, it paved the way for the development of Rio Rancho, which rapidly grew into the third largest city in the state.

Country Living Across from New Mexico’s Largest City

With the construction of the bridge after World War II, Corrales became easier to access, attracting some of the newcomers pouring into Albuquerque’s population at that time. It became a haven for artists and other free spirits. The newcomers created a volunteer fire department, opened art galleries, and founded a municipal library. The community incorporated in 1971. After incorporation Corrales experienced another population boom, growing from an estimated 3,000 to approximately 10,000 today.

The Corrales Growers Market

Fresh fruits, vegetables, honey and flowers grown locally. The regular season begins in late April with the weekly Growers Market held every Sunday through November from 9AM-12PM. The Wednesday Market runs from July-October from 3PM-6PM.

The Winter Market runs from December-April on the first Sunday of every month from 11AM-1PM. Calendar

Arts in the Park Held on the fields next to the Growers Market once a month from June-October, with a holiday art festival culminating the season. Many visitors may be surprised by the variety and quality of art found in the village. There are a lot of talented artists in the community. Indeed, the community’s creativity is on full display during studio tours and at the local galleries, from contemporary to whimsical, painting to sculpture and crafts.

Studio Tours The Corrales Society of Artists organizes studio tours throughout the summer to promote local artists. Check for details about upcoming tours and other events.

Music Series

The Corrales Cultural Arts Council What was started by a few dedicated people, who recognized the importance of music to people’s lives, has grown into an organization that brings exceptional musicians to the Historic Old San Ysidro Church. Furthermore, their audience is no longer just neighbors. People from Albuquerque and Rio Rancho have discovered the small, intimate performances.

New York Finger Lakes Bike & Wine Tour

Roll through picturesque beauty and tempt your palate with multiple wineries..

***** This tour is available only as a custom / private departure.  Submit a custom tour request form if you are interested.  Consider our 6 day Finger Lakes Tour for your biking vacation.

Home to over 100 wineries and breweries, our moderately challenging tour weaves between three of the largest and deepest of the Finger Lakes. You’ll visit unique wineries, hike along stunning waterfalls, and visit historic sites, including the bridge featured in the classic film It’s A Wonderful Life . Bring your camera and your taste buds!

New York’s Finger Lakes region is home to 11 pristine, glacial lakes, sparkling waterfalls, small farms and magnificent parks! You’ll get up close and personal with three of the lakes — Cayuga, Seneca and Keuka. We’ll visit charming villages with one-of-a-kind museums, and unique shopping opportunities.

Custom bike tour departures available for groups of 6 or more.

Tour Highlights

Day 1: You will meet the group in historic Seneca Falls on the first morning of your tour, then enjoy riding along the western shore of Cayuga Lake. Following lunch at a winery, we’ll arrive at the world-famous Taughannock Falls. At 215′ high, it’s a Finger Lakes icon! After a walk to the base of the falls, you can ride all the way into Ithaca on the Black Diamond Trail or take it easy and shuttle to Ithaca in the support van. Tonight, we’ll enjoy a stay at the William Henry Miller Inn and get to explore walkable Ithaca, a college town with an abundance of tempting dinner choices.

Day 2: After indulging in a sumptuous breakfast at the William Henry Miller Inn, there will be a short shuttle to the Taughannock Falls overlook. Time for pictures! Your ride begins here (at the top of the hill) where you’ll pedal along quiet roads to the most famous park in the Finger Lakes: Watkins Glen State Park. Glen Creek drops 400 feet, between 200-foot cliffs, carving out 19 stunning waterfalls. It’s truly gorgeous! We’ll walk through the refreshingly cool gorge after having lunch in town. Afterwards, we’ll head to the Inn at Glenora Wine Cellars where you can enjoy a complimentary bottle of wine as you gaze over the vineyards to Seneca Lake from your room’s private balcony.

Keuka, the Y shaped lake, is the true heart of New York’s Finger Lake wine region. Lunch today is in Hammondsport, voted “Coolest Small Town in America.” From there you’ll cycle around beautiful Keuka Lake, through the town of Penn Yan and past rolling Amish farms before returning to the Inn at Glenora for a second night. Recounting the day’s adventures at dinner on the Inn’s deck is always entertaining! 

Day 4: Wake up with the beautiful views of Seneca Lake and enjoy a final day of Finger Lakes riding. Geneva, at the top of Seneca Lake is our starting point today. We’ll ride 25 miles on lakeside paths and gentle farmland roads that’ll lead us back to Seneca Falls where we’ll wrap up our adventure.

Tips for Choosing the Right Bike Tour

When selecting a bike tour, we recommend considering your experience level, the tour length, and the accommodation type you prefer.

Fitness Level and Terrain Preferences

Assessing your fitness level and deciding how challenging you want the terrain to be is vital. Are you looking for a leisurely ride along flat country roads, or are you up for a more demanding mountain route? Being honest with yourself will help ensure you don't take on too much and have an enjoyable experience.

Destination and Duration

Do you want to stay in your home country or travel abroad? Are you looking for a day trip, a week-long getaway, or an extended trip? You will also need to consider the weather and seasonality - certain countries offer better cycling conditions during different times of the year.

Guided or Self Guided?

The type of tour you choose can also make a big difference in your overall experience. Guided tours offer the advantage of having an experienced tour guide lead the way and provide helpful advice, while self-guided tours give you more freedom to explore independently.

Accommodation Type

The type of accommodation offered can also play a role in your decision. Whether you opt for a Bike & Hotel or Bike & Boat tour will change the experience significantly.

Budget Considerations

The cost of a bike tour can vary significantly depending on the length of the tour, the level of accommodation, and whether the tour is guided or self-guided. Research different trips to find one that fits your budget and expectations.

Final Thoughts

Bike tours are a great way to explore new places, get some exercise, and have a fantastic experience. With proper preparation and research, you can find the perfect bike tour for your needs and enjoy a unique journey that will be remembered for years. So get out there and start peddling!
