Lepe Cellars is one of the gems of Carmel. I enjoyed their crisp and delicious chardonnay and their light yet rich pinot noir so much during my first visit there that I became a wine member over a year ago. Tira is a joy to sit and chat with every time. Miguel Lepe's story is also inspiring and one I can relate to.
Tira is the most lovely host and the wine tasting was delicious! Very happy we stopped by here on a whim and would recommend to anyone looking for dry + fruit forward wines. Thank you, Tira!
My wife and I visited this week on the recommendation of another tasting room in the area. He said "If you want to taste a really good local zinfandel, go to Lepe. The wines are expertly crafted and Tira is incredibly personable. We took a moment and wandered the art gallery attached, sipping our wine. It was a great experience. Don't sleep on this winery. The winemaker knows his craft well.
