Jimmy was my wine expert and he was so sweet and welcoming! I visited with my pup and he couldn’t have been more accommodating. I was the only person there at the time so it was a very personalized experience. He shared his expertise about the wines I sampled and gave me some tips on other wineries and places of interest to visit in Carmel. Stop in!

Cute little place kind of off the beaten path. But if you make it here, you will not regret it.
Doug was phenomenal & absolutely made our day. I’m certain our experience would not have been as amazing without him.
Great wine with interesting back stories. This place also does a great job of giving back through charities.
Put this place on you list of “must visit.”

What a delightful find! We happened upon Dawn's Dream Winery in Carmel by the Sea. The wines are wonderful. The shopkeeper was charming and informative.

Being on the central coast, we've been to our fair share of wineries, and Dawn's Dream was definitely one of the most enjoyable experiences we've had. The staff was very engaging, and gave us chocolates to enjoy with the wine samples. We also brought our dog, and he was treated well, as we've come to expect in Carmel. Our flight had one Chardonnay, one Rose, and three Pinot Noirs (their specialty). Great wine, great tasting experience, and we will definitely return.

Yummy wines the Pinot noir rose was so good and we really liked the Ashley as well. Our wine host Doug was such a wealth of information about the wine, and gave us some great pointers on local restaurants and activities.

Staff is friendly, wine is good but won't blow you out of the water. My favorite in the tasting was The Nugget, their rose. You will enjoy yourself, and $15 won't break the bank.

Dawn, of Jack and Dawn Gallante, both have wine tasting in Carmel-by-the-Sea. He specializes in bold Cabernet Sauvignon's. she specializes in delicate Pinot Noir's named after her daughters. She also has a good Chardonnay. Worth the stop for wine tasting.

A fun diversion featuring local wines, presented casually but expertly in a convenient, comfortable location.

They have good wines and we bought two bottles for $70 total and they still charged us for the tasting. Not so happy! Most places waive the fee with purchase.Get with the program.

Was visiting Carmel and Monterey on the last 3 days of my Ca holiday and just came across this tasting room in Carmel town centre. I had a lovely welcome and you can have a tasting of 4 or 6 different wines. This is the business of a wife whose husband is a farmer and who also does some wine stuff. Quite small scale but lovely wines. Owner is philanthropic and supports good causes and other startups. The tasting rm manager was very friendly and I had a good restaurant recommendation to boot. Please pop in!
