Galante Vineyards Tasting Room

We had a wonderful time here! Toby was exceptionally memorable, as was his knowledge, hospitality, engagement and he certainly didn’t fall short on his cowboy jokes. Fantastic wine and a fantastic experience!!

Nice cozy place for amazing wine tasting. Passionate server.

Great tasting room tucked in a peaceful corner with a comfortable small patio area.
Loved the selection of reds offered.
Toby was a wealth of knowledge on the wines and the regions where the grapes are grown.
Will return on our next visit to the area

When we came to this place, we asked about glass of wine, and got bill - 52$ for two glasses. So now I will ask in advance the price of the glass of wine.

Can't say enough about this wonderful place. Buck provided outstanding service and was a pleasure to talk with. The wine was, also, excellent.

We've been going to Galante Vineyards Tasting Room for as long as I can remember, 2009 I believe, when my wife and I barely started dating. It is a must-stop for us every time we set foot in the beautiful seaside town of Carmel. It has a special place in our heart because it is the tasting room that graduated us from cocktails and got us seriously into wine drinking so many moons ago. We drank a lot of wine during our dating years, mostly grocery store wines (Cupcake gives us fond memories, lol) and a glass here or there at restaurants, but we had no idea about the art or science behind winemaking and tasting. Galante Vineyards produces bold red wine, with occasional chardonnay and sauvignon blanc offerings. So if you love bold reds or bold red blends, then you owe yourself a visit to Galante Vinyeards Tasting Room! Our personal favorites are their Legacy (now a red blend I believe), Black Jack Pasture and Red Rose Hill cabernet sauvignon. We met many pourers throughout the course of a decade, all knowledgeable, personable and the patrons there are always a hoot and a holler! Janet signed us up for the Trail Boss wine club membership back in January of 2021 and we've stayed as members ever since. The tasting area is dog and kid friendly, as long as you keep your eyes on them. Our dogs always enjoy the outdoor area, because they get so much attention from Janet and nearby patrons! Too bad we can't just drive up the coast from L.A. and visit the tasting room these days since we recently moved to Texas. But we still enjoy our wine club shipments from Galante twice a year. We hope to visit y'all again soon! Maybe sooner than we think!

I was going there for a wine tasting with some work colleagues, when you go to a wine tasting you expect to have a nice refined experience… but it was inconceivable for us that we asked for the snacks to get with the wine, and we got a salami box from the supermarket… directly in the plastic…

We go to this little urban winery every time we visit to Carmel-By-The-Sea. The Bordeaux-style blends are the best.
