10 Best Wineries in Carmel Valley

“Excellent wines and kind/personable staff. Haven’t been here in awhile but remembered how much I enjoyed tasting here and became a member. My favorite was the cab/syrah blend, hope you guys bring it back but in the meantime I’ll enjoy your other selections :)“

“Rombi Wines is a red wine lover’s dream. The cabernet was my personal favorite—rich, smooth, and everything you'd want in a glass. Sal will take great care of you, and if you get the chance, ask him about the history of his vineyard. The stories are just as good as the wine (well, almost). Don’t miss this spot if you’re anywhere near Carmel Valley.“

“We visited Big Sur Vineyards this weekend one of the best Pinot in the area!“

“Once again, we had a perfect afternoon at Pelio! Catherine greeted us with her fabulous smile and a splash of Rose to start to our tasting experience. Matt was wonderful. He’s knowledgeable about the wines and engages in discussion easily. Our guests from Idaho loved the location and the wines.

We enjoy our Wine Club membership and have been very happy with the experiences we’ve had with friends and family. Morgan, the Tasting Room Manager, has been very helpful to make arrangements when we’ve had special occasions to celebrate. She doesn’t disappoint!

Pelio is a star among tasting rooms in Carmel Valley.“

“A newish tasting room space for one of Santa Lucia Highlands pioneer grape growing families. Kristen McIntyre, daughter of the founder, runs the tasting room and has created a very lovely patio space for outdoor wine tasting in Carmel Valley. The umbrellas, pergola and oak tree offer nice shade. They are very dog friendly, and the wines are delicious. There’s plenty variety of Monterey wines to explore, from Chardonnay and rose to Pinot Noir and more. They also sell tasty charcuterie boxes.“

“We decided to go through Carmel Valley and stop for some wine tasting since the Pacific Coast Highway was closed due to a landslide.

Highly recommended. The area is full of wineries and tasting rooms and the views of the valley are incredible. We stopped at Cowgirl Winery and got 2 sets of wine tasting flights. It was a great chance to learn more about Californian wine.

The place was beautiful, you can have your wine in this amazing garden.“

“Georgia Winery…beautiful setting, surrounded by the warmth and romance of California. The Sauvignon Blanc was excellent and the best pizza assortment was elegantly served! I will order a case of wine to be shipped to my home!“

“Our favorite Hotel to stay in Carmel. It’s a little piece of heaven with stunning views and beautiful rooms. Customer Service is top notch.“

“What a beautiful setting and fantastic wines! It’s a great place to relax with a glass or bottle in the CV sun 🌞. The owners and employees are terrific and so is the music they pipe all over the property. Don’t miss this gem of a tasting room. Cheers!“
