Dawn's Dream Winery

What a beautiful, hospitable, lovely, warm and nice wine tasting room! I was greeted by Doug and he was very friendly and welcoming. He made me comfortable at the tasting bar and my dog was also welcomed. We had a busy day in Carmel. My dog and I were tired and needed some nice relaxing time/experience. I chose red wine tasting as it was a foggy day in Carmel and I loved Rachel Pinot so much!!! It is very decadent and flavorful. You will say Wow when you have a first sip. I also enjoyed talking to happy guests who also were enjoying their wine tasting. In ordered a cheese and salami mini platter that comes with buttery bread sticks in a mason jar. I loved everything, everything was fresh and delicious! My dog also enjoyed some cheese, bread sticks bites and love of the guests who said hello to her. I recommend this winery tasting room if you like good ambiance, good wine, friendly atmosphere and romantic design. 5 stars. Thank you Doug for taking such a good care of us! It was nice to connect with you, the guests and the Carmel locals who are the members of this place.

This is a beautiful & charming winery nestled in carmel-by-the-sea. We landed on the really delicious Rose which has won the best Rose in Monterey county for the past 13 years. Sarah was our pourer who was super fun to be with, we shared many stories and just is a great person to get to know and hang out with. They also have a bathtub in the wine room that you can have a photo in which is very unique. The outside fire pit table is perfect for the sometimes chili days in caramel when the fog is around or in the winter time. Especially love the breadsticks and nuts that she gave us along with our wine. The Pinot noir that we tried was excellent and was very smooth, complex with a variety of tasting notes, little bit fruit forward and a very drinkable everyday wine.

Great wine and lovely atmosphere. Ask for Sarah, she’s super nice . Thanks for the recommendation, the Pinot was great.

Such a lovely experience!! My friends and I stumbled upon Dawns in Carmel, we were immediately seated at a prime firepit table and served by the AMAZING Doug. He provided awesome service and knowledge about different wines, carmel recs etc. He was so friendly, kind and made us feel at home. Overall amazing wine tasting experience and we can’t wait to return friends or family!!!

Cute, friendly, and tied to the community. Their wine club is a fun option, too.

Had a great time. Took my cousin wine tasting for the 1st time and she had a great experience. We appreciated the conversation and walk through from the staff.

Great wine tasting room! Dog friendly which is such a plus. Doug was great and friendly, knew a lot about the wines. I am not a fan of Chardonnay or Pinot Noirs and these were so so good. We bought a bottle and will definitely come back during our next visit!

Wine was tasty- great rose Jimmy - the bartender was awful. I asked for the wifi password and he told me to “go sit down and I’ll give it to your later”. I asked for a bottle of wine and he told me he was putting us in a corner in the back area -then came over 10-15 mins later to ask for our order. We bought a new bottle of wine and he put it in the fridge. After 15 mins of empty glasses I went back to the bar and asked for our bottle. They told me to sit down and someone would confirm we had a bottle on ice. 10-15 mins later Jimmy came over and dumped it in our glasses. I’ve never posted a review before. This service was so aggressive and negative I felt the need to. Never going back
