Nestled at the foot of the southern end of the Santa Cruz Mountains is the small community of Corralitos, home to the nationally famous Corralitos Market and Sausage Company. Sausage, smoked and fresh meat is shipped daily and locals, vacationers and bicycling enthusiasts enjoy world-class sandwiches year round.

Historically based in agriculture, Corralitos is keeping up with the times. Once apples and roses were the primary focus but now the area is home to a burgeoning new wine industry. Experiencing the Corralitos Wine Trail by car or bicycle could be the perfect excursion.

Don't miss the Diary Library with over 1200 published diaries from around the world including Sir Francis Drake's 1546 Nautical Almanac and contributions from the likes of Louisa May Alcott and Nathanial Hawthorne.

Thinking of making Corralitos home? Corralitos boasts some of the best schools in Santa Cruz County - Bradley Elementary, Monte Vista Christian and Salesian Sisters are all top-notch.

This is a small community with small community activities and delights. Come enjoy the annual Corralitos Volunteer Firefighters BBQ or the Padres Pancake Breakfast with its swap meet, small engine demonstrations and antique cars. For a real treat park in one of the remote lots and ride to breakfast in a wagon pulled by Palomino Clydesdales. Corralitos has been a location where many couples have weddings and boast areas for other party and entertainment.
