Carmel Wine Tasting Rooms
Spend a weekend wine-tasting without ever getting in a vehicle! Downtown Carmel-by-the-Sea has become a bona fide wine tasting destination, with enough tasting rooms to keep visitors busy for a weekend and even more about to open. Start your wine tasting exploration with these top picks and keep your eyes peeled for even more new tasting rooms on the way!
Tasting Rooms
Caraccioli Cellars offers sparkling and still wines in an elegant tasting room that is open well into the evening. Enjoy small plates or cheese as you sample the wines on offer. Just across the street from Caraccioli Cellars is Galante Vineyards, Carmel-by-the-Sea's first tasting room. Galante offers enjoyable wines in a down-home atmosphere that ties into the ranching roots of the winery. Owner Jack Galante's great-grandfather, J. Frank Devendorf, helped found Carmel-by-the-Sea. Scheid Vineyards Wine Lounge, formerly located on Cannery Row in Monterey, is now situated on San Carlos and 7th in Carmel. Be sure to try their award-winning Pinot Noirs. Finally, take a break from a hard day of shopping at Carmel Plaza's only dedicated wine tasting room. Wrath offers several select tasting flights as well as wines by the glass.
