Frequently Asked Questions

What does 'Pasando Tiempo' mean and how does it reflect the winery's vibe?
The name means 'passing time' in Spanish, and it accurately describes the atmosphere here. The winery leans into a slow, enjoyable experience rather than a quick commercial tasting, which is why many guests stay longer than they planned.
Are vineyard tours available and do they require a separate booking?
Vineyard tours are offered and give you a real look at how New Mexico's unique growing conditions shape the wines. It's worth calling ahead to confirm tour availability and whether a reservation is needed, as schedules can vary by season.
Can we bring a picnic to enjoy on the vineyard grounds?
Policies on outside food vary, so it's best to contact the winery directly before packing a basket. Many small New Mexico wineries are accommodating about this, especially for wine club members or groups who've booked in advance.
How far is the winery from downtown Albuquerque?
Corrales is roughly a 20 to 30-minute drive from downtown Albuquerque depending on traffic, making it an easy and worthwhile outing. The drive through the North Valley along the Rio Grande adds to the experience.
Do they offer wine education classes or events?
Some smaller New Mexico wineries host educational evenings covering topics like food and wine pairing or regional grape varieties. Contact Pasando Tiempo directly to ask about any upcoming events or structured learning opportunities they currently offer.
Is the winery a good spot for a date or romantic outing?
Absolutely. The relaxed, low-key setting in Corrales makes it well-suited for couples looking for something more personal than a busy restaurant or bar. Many guests specifically choose it for anniversary celebrations and date nights.
