Ask for Shawn! We came for a girls day out and it was amazing!!! He's so knowledgeable ! Downtown location!

What a great little wine shop in downtown Carmel. It isn't a destination spot but it's a great part of planning an evening in Carmel. They source wine from Napa, Sonoma, or Lake counties and have a selection that should cover ever palate....maybe not the hardcore Indiana sweet fruit wines but anything outside that is covered. We stopped in for a glass and sole chill time on the patio. Ive seen it busy but on a Saturday night there was lo problem finding a table. They schedule live music on the back patio. Think local musicians with a guitar singing solo for tips. It gives a great low key vibe. The server/bartenders are well versed in their wines and can help guide decisions if needed. I think they are incredibly positive which is always appreciated and keeps with the shops over arching theme. We will keep coming back. read more

I got a Groupon for here for a wine tasting for two. The place is very relaxed and hippie looking inside. The bartender was very helpful in making our wine decisions for our flight and very attentive. I went in on a week night around 7pm and we were the only ones there. We stood at the bar the whole time as he gave us our choice of 5 different wines to try. It was also cool to hear the story of the owners and their mindset and start up of the winery. The wine was pretty good. I didn't have any worth buying a bottle of but did have a great time and will try to come back on one of their live music nights. read more

Absolutely found this little place so comfortable and charming. The decoration, along with seating, provides an indoor or outdoor experience. The atmosphere was very calming. This location does not provide food however, you may bring your own food or, in this case, charcuterie spread. They also offer a party area to host for any large group event. Happy they have activities such as reading, coloring, and even have a TV for a possible sports game watch if your were solo. The cost for the wine is average, and the tasting was very reasonable. These are wines imported from California, so their selection is not sweet, which is a personal favorite. I chose to taste their reds, and each flavor combo was better than the one before! It's great they provide the wine profile for you to review on your own time. read more

Just had my daughter's bridal shower at Peace Water. LOVED the venue from the moment I saw it. Very affordable, great people to work with. Everything was set up exacted as requested. There was even a huge storm the night before and owners came in to squeegee the patio before we arrived so it was dry. Great friendly relaxed vibe. read more

I was waiting for my to-go food couple doors down, so decided to stop by Peace Water Winery. It was a beautiful day and I wanted to sip on some wine while waiting. I was immediately greeted by Stef who is so bubbly and friendly! I know nothing about wine except how to drink it, so I told Stef I wanted something light and a little sweet. I don't remember what she gave me because we were engaged in conversation, but whatever she gave me was delicious! I sat in the back outside with my family and it was a beautiful day. I really enjoyed my wine, but especially enjoyed the service I received from Stef. Will definitely be back! read more

Our group was lured in on a Saturday evening as our friend was performing live music at Peace Water Winery in Carmel - and I am so glad we decided to go! Aside from parking being a typical downtown Carmel on a weekend nightmare, we enjoyed the rest of our evening immensely. Anastacia was our sweet wine slinger for the evening and she did a great job with keeping up with folks coming at her from all angles of the serving bar. She didn't get frazzled when a challenging 'regular' showed up and posted up at her bar and then proceeded to sing along with the performer at top voice. She has the patience of a saint. As a party of 6 and via a $10 tasting (of 5 short pours), we got to try just about every white wine and rose offered. Admittedly, I am an Indiana girl born and raised so I am used to Indiana sweet wines - but these California options held their own. I was a huge fan of the Ok, Fine for this reason. Our party also had the reds (Grateful Red and 21 Windows) and raved. Of note, 2 of our friends are super familiar with California wines and they said they are legit. This location is much smaller than the one I am familiar with on Mass Ave, but delightfully laid out and decorated. Rumor has it that the area behind the fireplace/divider wall is family friendly and you can enter through another door toward the back to access it. Another lovely employee attempted to help us seat our huge friend mass / party at one point by bringing over the footstools from that area - and that was so kind! We ended up scoring the corner table and remained there for the rest of the evening. We shall return. Thanks for a great evening, PWW! read more

I like the place.... I like the wine, I like the vibe, but the corner booth around your fire pit is the most awkward seating created. I'm a tall guy and I'm on my tiptoes sitting to not fall forward... On the other hand, if you'd like a core workout while you drink... boom, nailed it! read more

I really like Peace Water winery. I came her for a date day and the customer service was great . I did the tasting and I loved how they guided you through everything . I wish they had more light bites for you to choose from . read more

My wife found this place on Groupon so we decided to give it a try. We had a tasting, the 21 windows was my favorite. Wishful white and Zen were also very good. read more

We ventured out into Carmel because our talented friend Russell was playing there Friday night. This Peace Water Winery has a fun vibe inside that's different from the Fishers location. (Read: check out all their locactions!) They've got some good seating arrangements that can accomodate medium sized groups 4-8. And while I'm certainly no wine expert, I've found a few that I really enjoy such as Grateful Red and 21 Windows. Yum! Unlike other local wineries, their menu doesn't seem to be sweet-heavy. I'd like to take just a second to give a huge shout out to our server, Anastasia. She was the only one working Saturday evening and she ROCKED it! She was calm and kind and gave each of us a wonderful experience even though she was being pulled in five directions at once. Anastasia is a gem in the service industry. read more

As related to Indiana and wine... this place passed our expectations. Open and honest, the wine is California wine that local owners have capitalized on. It exceeded our expectations. We got a Groupon and we tried 5-6 different wines. I discovered I actually like three of five and bought a Cab-Sav. The other favs was a California Blend- "21 windows" which was light and berry filled notes. The Rose' was not dry or super sweet, it was refreshingly light and flavorful without tannin. Super nice. We came home with the Cab Sav. We are Deep Red Peidmont and Tuscan fans and Cab Sav Louis Martini fans... for point of reference. Looking forward to returning while strolling around art district with Marlee our dog for company. read more

Stephanie was absolutely a GEM she wast extremely informative and showed us a couple wine tricks .

I can absolutely tell she cares about her role and overall experience,10:10 experience.

Fantastic place, both at the Carmel and Indianapolis downtown locations. First came here last June for their awesome Groupon wine tasting experience, and my mom was hooked immediately with the vibes and personable workers. She got a membership and we've been coming every month since. So much fun to hang out here over a glass of wine, especially since a percentage of the profits go to various charities. This place is just in general great vibes when you walk in! Dogs are allowed too! I really like the back porch in the Carmel location during the summer because you can sit outside and enjoy the weather. So quaint and on weekends they have live music! read more

Peace Water Carmel, My wife and I have been wine club members here for 3 years it's the only winery of Indiana that we frequent often that's because they source their grapes from California as we are used to since being from the Central Coast of California for many many years. You just can't find the quality and the in-depth aromas along with the intense flavors in the Midwest as you do with the Wines from Peace Water! read more

When I walked in, there were maybe 5 people in the place on a Sunday afternoon. Staff/server seemed a bit disgruntled as I approached the bar. There were lots of laminated papers around and I was looking them all over to just get info as I was this place was about and what they had. I was told "this is the wine" with a pop of attitude as she pointed to the menu. As I am reading the descriptors of the wines I am pressured to decide what I want. I asked about a flight as I was trying to absorb the menu and when I didn't respond quickly with what I wanted (still trying to look over the menu and descriptions and looking for a Pinot Grigio) the server pushed me to decide between the three predetermined flights as to "special order is $2 More" (felt like I was putting her out or something). I had asked about taking wine flights outside-not being sure of the rules on glass. "No tasting only flight" well ok. Forget tasting anything to buy a glass and I got the Patio Flight. It was fine but nothing fabulous. I liked the Sauvignon Blanc. Price was $17 for a total of 8.5 oz of wine. Ok, I get it, it's wine to try. When I went back and ordered a glass for $12.95. I was shocked at the pour. A friend came out with a glass of wine about 2 min after me and commented on how it seemed like a short pour. The wine is fine, but nothing unforgettable. The place is fun and interesting, but relaxed, not swanky or high class where I would expect an expensive glass of wine. Maybe it's "Carmel?" Or the fact the grapes are from Cali? Maybe I am offsetting the cost to ship that to Indiana? There are other local wineries in the Indy area. I probably won't be back. read more

Had a great experience today tasting! Bought two lovely bottles one Bliss and one Grateful Red. Scott was amazing! read more

Top of the list for favorite spots was the Peace Water Winery. Their wines are made in Napa, and they have a tasting room in Carmel. To be honest, I'm not totally clear on why, but that's not really important for this story. For $10, you can hop in and do a wine tasting, selecting five options from their extensive list. They offer everything from sparkling wines to chardonnay to a red blend. I greatly enjoyed all but one: the "Wishful White" white wine blend, which was too sweet for me. My favorite in the line-up was the "Soulful Reserve," an oaked chardonnay which has notes of butterscotch, vanilla bean and toffee, according to them.

How cute is this place! A perfect stop on my girlfriends day out. As the only California winery in Indiana, so it stands out among other wineries in Indiana. The decorations are hippie chic, and there's a great back patio. it was too warm for it to be on, but they have a fire table for when it gets colder. If you're new to the wine, you can do a tasting for $10 and pick your choice of 5 wines. It's low key, you can grab a glass of wine. There's no food, but there's great wine, they support good causes, and have great atmosphere. The location is great with relationship to other places in the Carmel arts district to stop for a glass before or after dinner or as you're meandering down the street. Parking lot is free behind the building. Check out their wine club if you want to stock your personal cellar with their wine! read more

I was so excited to finally try Peace Water Winery in Carmel! We actually had a Groupon for a tasting here but due to COVID they have put a hold on doing tastings! But they were so gracious to let me swap out the tasting for a wine flight! So disclaimer their wine is definitely not sweet! But that is so up my alley because I'm not a huge fan of sweet wines typically. Inside is super cute, but we actually sat in their outdoor area which is where they had live music. The outdoor area has super cute string lights and space heaters all around so it's perfect for cooler nights. Did I mention they are dog friendly? Yup! I got to see some pretty cute dogs. Now that I know they're dog friendly I will definitely be taking mine next time :) read more

Steph is amazing and so generous. Love to know that they give half of their proceeds to charity. Love it and definitely recommend.

Stopped by Peace Water while in town in the Spring. It was surprisingly very expensive for a tasting of wine than I thought it would be (this is in Indiana not Napa), however there were a wide range of wines to choose from. I did enjoy sitting on the patio to get out of the rain, and they have a nice covered setup. We ordered at the bar, and the workers were friendly, however didn't really give us alot of backstories on the wines, notes of the flavors we should expect to taste, as you might think a winery typically does. Kind of a mix between a winery and a regular bar (which just sells wines). read more

I just love the decor, and the staff..and wine quality is excellent... It's a little pricey, but worth the money..especially since I get two glasses a month for free w my membership read more

We were looking to wind down and relax after shopping and stopped in to check it out after seeing the 'Patio is Open' sign. After a little explanation on how things worked, we decided to order a bottle of white wine to enjoy. We looked around a bit and, despite the patio(s) lure, opted to put up our feet and spend some quality hang time in the 'peace pod'. The decor is what I'd call glitzy zen (if that's even a thing), comfortable and mostly tranquil with the exception of the crystal chandeliers. We agreed that Indian hanging lanterns and a little Nag Champa would be more appropriate. What's missing? A little snack to enjoy with your wine. Goose the Market charcuterie or pretzels/goldfish, cheese & berries would go a long way for those looking to stop in between meals. I do love that they don't accept tips, but rather suggest you choose one of their selected charities to support. Great spot for a small gathering! read more

Giiiiiirls night!! Peace Water Winery couldn't have been more ideal for a friend reunion. There's a large, high-top, wooden table that sits about ten people and was the perfect spot for us. The staff/owners are all very friendly and relaxed and not pretentious at all. They welcome questions and are happy to find a nice wine for you. My favorite part: you can get wine flights (perfect when you don't want to decide and commit to just one!) Red wine flight: -Sublime: Pinoit Noir (black cherry aroma) -21 Windows: CA Picnic Red (cherry cola) -Zen: Zinfandel (blackberry) My favorite was the Sublime, and I also noticed that some other people brought in their own foods (nice!). Know that this place is on the pricier side, but has quality wines from California and a great atmosphere. read more

Went there last weekend because we were nearby. It was a good location, close to the Monon trail, on Main Street. We wanted to try a few of the wines so we got 2 sample flights which come with 5 wines to try. We were led through our tasting by Taylor who was extremely knowledgeable about the winery but also fun to chat with. I ordered a mix of whites and reds. The whites were good but I was personally a bigger fan of the reds. Their Pinot Noir was awesome! read more

First of all I love Carmel art district and I always wanted to visit this place, based on my experience I have to say only great things about it. I had a great and comfy time here, they have a great staff ready to answer all your questions and interact with you, gave you all the information and history about every wine and winery. You pay for your tasting and you have a paper where you check everything and pick your fav or not favorite wine, after that you can buy your fav bottle and stay inside ( they have a cute puff area inside and also a cool patio outside, with music, lights ( summer time). Definitely something cool to do if you're around with friends, family, husband or wife. read more

The perfect place to hangout and catch up with friends! The staff was extremely helpful and friendly without being overbearing. The wine selections were many and delicious. I tried both a mixed patio flight and a cab and loved both. They don't have food on site, but they do allow you to bring food in and even have hard copy menus for Bazbeaux's, which is just a quick stroll down the street. Exceeded my expectations and a great place to hang out with friends, especially if you're not into the bar scene! read more
