Every single wine at the tasting was awesome - that never happens, but here it does.Moreover the actual wine maker, Adrian, is here and not only pours the wine but happily talks about the how's, why's, etc of making the wine.Such a personal friendly experience.

This was a fantastic stop during our time in Carmel Valley. We found this place based on a recommendation from another area winery and we're so glad we did.The wines were all fantastic, the Sauvignon Blanc was one of the most interesting and wonderful ones we've tried, tropical and complex. The Rose was also one of our favorites in recent memory.We split a tasting and were pleasantly surprised at the variety and number of wines we were able to try. The folks working were both welcoming and knowledgeable and the tasting room was modern and airy. Great experience all around!

Corral Wine creates some of the best wine you will ever have! I have never enjoyed white wine until Jess, the incredible tasting room manager, suggested I try their Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc, and let me tell you - it is hands down the best white wine I have ever tasted! I bought 4 bottles! And don't get me started on the red wine - it is fabulous!!! The Corral Wine team will greet you with warmth and you will absolutely enjoy your time there. I can't recommend this tasting room and their wines enough!

Visited Corral Wine earlier this year and enjoyed every last minute. Everything from the drive up here to the versatile wine to the customer service exceeded my expectations. Situated in the beautiful and charming Carmel Valley, the drive boasts sweeping views of fields, meadows and vineyards. The tasting room is small but inviting and relaxing with lounge chairs and bar seating throughout. I was able to taste just about every wine and my favorite was absolutely the Chardonnay. I am not usually a Chardonnay fan but the fruity and almost tropical aromatics of this wine really hit the mark for me. Jess, the tasting room manager, largely contributed to my wonderful experience. She really knows these wines and goes above and beyond to help you find the perfect wine for any occasion. If I lived closer I would absolutely be a wine club member. I can't wait to return and see what amazing wines they produce next!

Went t I the Corral Tasting Room and found it to be a wonderfully relaxing place. The service from Jess and Larry was amazing. The wine that I tasted was amazing, each one was better than the previous.Jess was wonderful and knowledgeable and educated me on their wines and what makes Corral so great Watching her with my group and the others that were there, it seemed like we were all family. After about 10 minutes,we were all laughing and talking with each other and comparing wines. One couple had their dog with them and Jess made sure it had water and some treats.Larry has made some great wines and Jess is a wonderful hostess in the Tasting Room.Cannot wait to return Signed up for the wine club and received my 3 wines sonner than I thought they would get there. Now I am sharing Corral Wines with my Texas friends and family.Can't wait to see what this fall's wines are and enjoy them.If you have a chance to go by Corral, it is well worth the trip to stop in and say hi and enjoy some of Cali's best wines.
Drive down from San Francisco to Corral Wines Tasting Room and after the amazing drive, the experience was even better. Met the owner, Larry and his tasting room manager, Jessica. We felt like we walked into an old friend's house, the vibe was so cool and relaxing. Jessica made us feel like family immediately. She made sure we knew what we were tasting, from the different flavors to the different aromas and complexities of the wine, yet she made it seem so simple.She made sure we were comfortable and ready for the next tasting before she served us.She introduced us to the other people in the room, strangers to us at first, but soon we were all family.Jessica made sure to compare our tastings and honestly, I think she went out of her way to give us some bonus tastings, but don't tell...Joined the wine club and received my first 3 bottles of wine shortly after our trip back home. She gave us a heads up on all the delivery info and it matched perfect to what she said. Can't wait for the next delivery and their new wines.Larry has created something great and Jessica made sure we experienced it completely.Already planning our next trip to Carmel Valley and Corral Wines.

I have had the pleasure of visiting Corral Wine's tasting room. There was a lovely gal there that was both energetic and insightful about what she was pouring for my wife and me. Unfortunately I can't remember her name but she did a wonderful job explaining tasting notes, grapes, and the variety of vintages they had. I especially loved their devotion to reducing waste and coming up with a solution for grapes that would have otherwise been wasted after the devastating fires. We decided to join their wine club and that is where this review really stems from.I saw the 1 star review posted just today by and impatient person that doesn't seem to understand the workings of a small business. We had a similar experience in the tasting room. Very relaxed with minimal other guests. However, as a small business there also comes a small number of employees. I was given a similar response that "we're a small winery and very busy." Which is a completely understandable situation. With the growth in sales it isn't always easy to meet demand as a small business. All of this to say, we had a beautiful experience at the tasting room by an extremely professional and personable woman. I am more than happy to be a patient adult and join the list of people waiting. Rather that defaming a company and complaining over a minor delay. After all wine really embodies that old adage by John Wooden "good things take time." Maybe switch to coors light if you're in a hurry.Thank you again to the wine makers for the delicious wine and the woman for the fun experience at the tasting room. Keep up the good work.

Stopped in for an afternoon tasting. I got the 4-wine taster and my friend got the 6-wine taster (I tried the ones she got as well, but someone had to drive). The staff behind the bar did a great job prefacing each wine before we tasted it and left us discussing what flavors and situations we would drink the wines in. Knowledgeable and engaging staff made the afternoon enjoyable for our visit to Carmel Valley. I will be back to enjoy more of their full bodied wines! Ask for Sam if you stop in.
