    Waters / glass of Chardonnay & rose
    Lauren L.

    One of the many wine tasting rooms we stopped along the Monterey/carmel area. This one was a much more casual vibe. Lots of outdoor seating and people who brought their dogs. They have some corn hole games out in the front or there's also inside seating (I personally thought it was too dark in there). As we first entered we were all given canned water and given the background and history of the estate and the winery. A thing to note is that the tasting room and the winery itself are two separate things so make sure you map to the right one. Server was knowledgeable and friendly, but as soon as it got crowded it was hard to track her down to close out. The wine itself I thought was just alright. Maybe we ordered the wrong ones. Menu was pretty small and straight forward. Personally think there are other wineries to visit.

    Lots of seating inside and out. Came here on a reservation with a group we had a great time hanging in the back patio! The wine tasting is reasonably priced.

    Love, love, love this tasting room. My best friend and I went on a Sunday afternoon a few weeks ago and did a tasting at their cozy fireplace seating area. Pours were very generous which was great for sipping and hanging out. Usually with really small pours, the tasting goes by super quickly so this was a nice relaxing experience. The homemade chexmix was the perfect crunchy salty snack with the wine. The staff is great as well, I felt very welcomed and comfortable. After the tasting we shared a bottle of Rose (which was to die for!) and relaxed by the fire for a few hours.

    Hubby and I walked in and was greeted by Zoee. Whom was gracious to accept us without a reservation. We sat outside which we had to ourselves. It was 65 degrees and beautiful. We tried one of each wine tasting and it did not disappoint with trying the wines they had. Zoee was very informative with all of the wines, from the first taste to the last, she was very good to us! Would definitely come here again.

    From the atmosphere to their "picnic basket" goodies, to their wine, EVERYTHING was wonderful! Zoe was a gracious and informative waitress and we appreciated her amazing service. I'm glad I don't live in the area otherwise my bank account would be empty purchasing all their tasty wines. It is definitely a MUST visit when in the area.

The hostess greeted us immediately with a complimentary splash of rosé and walked us to our table right away (no waiting, no confusion, just genuine hospitality!). Within minutes, our server came over and kindly offered us a few wines to try before ordering, which felt like a lovely mini tasting experience. We ended up ordering the Big Basket snacks, a bottle of Chardonnay for the table, drinks for the kids, and of course took a sparkling wine home with us as well. A small detail I especially appreciated: the wine box is simple cardboard without oversized branding or wasteful packaging - practical, elegant, and actually reusable. The atmosphere here is absolutely wonderful: a beautiful courtyard, soft music, charming decorations hanging in the trees, a cute swing, and some of the most gorgeous blooming bushes and landscaping we've seen at a winery. The entire place feels so thoughtfully maintained, peaceful, and inviting. We spent a couple of hours there without even wanting to go anywhere else afterward. We took so many photos and already know we'll definitely be back. Thank you, Holden, and the whole team for turning our day around.

    Pelio Estate Wines is one of those rare Carmel Valley treasures that feels both beautifully refined…read moreand deeply rooted in place. Nestled along the rolling hills, the estate has an immediate sense of calm, quiet, elegant, and intentionally intimate. It's the kind of winery where the experience feels carefully curated, yet completely unpretentious. The wines themselves are exceptional. Pelio leans into cool-climate sophistication, producing whites and reds that are wonderfully balanced, expressive, and full of character. Their Pinot Noir is especially noteworthy, bright, layered, and gently complex, with a finish that feels almost coastal in its freshness. The Chardonnay is equally impressive: crisp, clean, and beautifully textured without ever being over-oaked. Every pour reflects thoughtful winemaking and the unique Carmel Valley microclimate. The staff is knowledgeable without being pushy, offering insights into the estate's philosophy, vineyard practices, and terroir with a genuine sense of enthusiasm. The setting, surrounded by vineyards, soft breezes, and sweeping valley views, makes it easy to linger. If you're exploring Carmel Valley's wine scene, Pelio Estate is an absolute must-visit.

Their wines are crushed, fermented, and bottled in Mendocino county and the family lives here locally and runs their wine business here in Monterey County (they also have a new tasting room in Monterey). Julia was our hostess and runs the tasting room in the village (and it sounds like she runs their family business as well). My wife and I enjoyed a flight of 5 wines. We liked their reds (Grenache, Syrah, and Zinfandel) more than their whites. All three reds were older 'library' wines, being 10-12 years old, which is unusual and a fun angle to their wine tasting offering. We haven't experienced being served older wines in the neighboring wine rooms, which makes blue fox unique in the village. Blue Fox had an unassuming tasting room, but has spectacular exterior grounds. Lots of room for serving large parties. In fact, they have a beautiful wood burning pizza oven for serving flatbreads on Sunday and have live music on occasion. We thoroughly enjoyed our experience at Blue Fox and learning about Julia and her husband's family business. We will be back with friends and family on Sundays to try their wood fired flatbreads paired with their delicious Syrah.

From the moment we walked in, Marissa took wonderful care of us. She was incredibly knowledgeable about the wines but also warm and unpretentious. You never felt rushed, and she made the whole tasting feel relaxed and personal. But the real highlight came when Adrian, the winemaker, joined us. Instead of a quick hello, he sat with us and spent real time sharing his story, how he came to winemaking, the "why" behind the wines, and even stories about his growing family. It turned what could have been a simple tasting into something much more memorable. This is exactly what we love about Carmel Valley compared to Napa or Sonoma. Here, the winemakers still pay attention. They sit down with you. They give you time. You leave feeling like you've not only tasted great wine, but actually connected with the people behind it. The wines were excellent, but the hospitality is what made the afternoon unforgettable.

This is another great winery to go to if you are in Carmel Valley.
