    A friend asked me to pick up her wine club shipment and I couldn't turn down the opportunity to try a new winery. My husband and I showed up at 5 pm on a Saturday. The winery closes at 6 and was only offering glasses at this point, no tastings. So I'd suggest coming earlier than 1 hour before close if you want to do a full tasting. I grabbed a glass of the GSM and my husband had the Gamay Noir. Both were solid wines, but I much preferred the GSM. Just personal preference. The service here was amazing, shout out to Bri for her hospitality. The tasting room itself has tons of indoor and outdoor seating options. There is only one unisex bathroom inside, which got held up when my husband and myself tried to use it. Overall, I had a great experience and can't wait to come back to do a full tasting.

    I made a trip here because my friend joined their wine club and offered to make a pick up for him. In return, I was given a free tasting as part of my friend's membership. So, when I walked in they were already expecting me and already had the wines boxed up. I think maybe they were just expecting me to take the box and go but I did mention the tasting that my friend confirmed was on their books. There wasn't anyone else around at the time so it seemed a little weird that I had to bring it up. The wines were fine-I'm not a big wine drinker and the past weekend I had hit my saturation point for vino. Service was pretty slow, I get that they want you to pause and sip and savor but especially after a group of three came in halfway through our tasting it was pretty obvious that I was an afterthought. I don't know if I'd every go back to the Carmel Valley but I'll probably check out some other places before I come back here.

    I came here with friends for my bday to do a wine tasting! It's actually nice that it's located in a strip full of other wineries! It's the first one of the strip and it's super cute! Reservations were pretty easy to make in Tock and the one thing that I loved was the misters and umbrellas! We came around 230-3ish, we got seated right away and it was pretty hot that day, about 91. Being from the city, we wore our layers and didn't anticipate it to be this hot compared to Monterey. We sat at a table right under the misters and had a large umbrella giving us shade! This tasting came with 5 wines and they were Chardonnay, rose and cabs. The pours were a little on the light side but it was enough for us to get a good taste of the wine! My faves were definitely the rose and the Pinot noir and I definitely got those bottles to bring home. My friends also did the same, we all got bottles to go. Usually we don't all like a place equally and get bottles. This place, we all loved it and wanted bottles! I honestly can't wait to come back in the future that way I can try more of their wines! Total :$70

    Joyce Wine = Love. I'm disappointed in myself for not trying their wine earlier. I've been missing out. I went in for a flight tasting and just about all the wines on the list were tasty. The Cabernet was my favorite! Apart from their great wine, their staff is very friendly and knowledgeable on the wine and the winery. I learned a lot about them! Their tasting room is not super big but it's a decent size and has various rooms you can go to so everyone is not crammed into one tasting room. Plus, they also have an outdoor area and a you can order food there (balance out all that wine drinking)! I really liked one of their spaces, perfect to host a bridal shower or birthday dinner. The winery has a rustic & chic feel to it. Overall, a lovely time drinking some nice wine. Because of my experience I will be returning!

    The place and people get 5 stars the wine gets four. Nice place for larger groups to taste wine and hang out. When it gets they have "misters" that feel fantastic.

    Just one sip.   Ok I'll take the bottle

    Bri. Was amazing. Loved how at home we felt The Pinot 2014 The bomb This is a must stop in

    This is for sure the most modern winery around Carmel Valley. I was recommended to come here by a wine expert and besides the ambiance I really enjoyed my tasting here. While you sip red and whites the soundtrack will be playing The Killers or Kooks, so how could anyone not like it? I specially liked their Cabernet Sauvignon and bought a bottle to take home. Visit Joyce if you want a different and enjoyable experience in this area.

    Last Saturday I had my birthday here. We had 14 people total. LET ME TELL YOU. JOYCE WINERY WENT ABOVE AND BEYOND. They set us up in a private room, they set the table with beautiful wine glasses, and a print out of all the wines!! Literally the entire thing was perfect!! 10/10 would recommend.

    Loved this place! First time visiting Carmel Valley and our first stop was Joyce. Came here after our server at a different winery recommended this place the previous night, and totally glad we took his recommendation! Super cute location with tons of outdoor seating, which is so convenient with all this COVID madness. The girl who first helped us out was super sweet and friendly (wish I would've caught her name but she had long blonde hair and super bubbly personality), and let us try some wine before we settled for the bottle we had originally chosen. The wine was great, ambiance was great, service was great, everything was great! Can't wait to go back

    My partner and I came to Carmel for my birthday and went to Joyce based on a recommendation from a server from another winery lol . We're glad we did because the wines we got were delicious, the girl serving us the wine was awesome, and the location was quaint. We will definitely come back here in the near future, particularly because pricing of bottles is on point ;)

    We LOVE it here! 3

    I also really enjoyed the Gamay Noir based rosé because it's not a varietal you find planted often in the states.

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.

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.

There is a large, lanscaped outdoor space with many seating options and a Bocce Ball court. But as with most tasting rooms in Carmel Valley the outdoor areas abut the main road through town so there is some noise and not the views you might be used to when wine tasting near a vineyard. That said it was walking distance from our hotel and the town is easy to navigate. Service there means they bring all of the tastings in individual glasses at the same time so there is not much interaction with staff unless you buy something or ask a question. I had to ask about the backstory of the owners and staff didn't share much about the terrior of the wines. You can order food (maybe just pizza?) there from Corkscrew Cafe across the street where we ate later that night. (We didn't love the lemon prosciutto pizza we had but lots of food on table nearby looked delicious.)
