At Pelio Estate we pride ourselves on making wine from sustainably and organically farmed grapes from our Estate vineyard in Carmel Valley, California. These grapes grow in shale soil formed from ancient sea floor sedimentation, coupled with cooler weather driven by its proximity (6 miles) to the Pacific Ocean. Fog gently touches the vines, producing an ideal climate to nurture the Pinot Noir and Chardonnay grapes to perfection. Soil type and ocean influence are key ingredients in making great coastal wines. Pelio Estate is fortunate to have both! Guests can choose from two distinct wine tasting experiences during their visit. Additionally, we offer wine by the glass for those who prefer to enjoy a single pour. Please note that outside food is not permitted at Pelio Estate. However, we offer curated picnic baskets for purchase to enhance your experience. Feel free to add one to your reservation or inquire upon arrival. Thank you for your understanding!
“We did their Rosé Experience which runs May-June and it was exceptional. Delicious pairings with each glass of wine and such friendly staff.”
“After a very disappointing experience at another winery nearby, Pelio Estate Wines completely saved our Mother’s Day. From the very beginning, everything felt warm and welcoming. 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.”
“The wine tasting experience here is definitely elevated. The place is decorated in Restoration Hardware and done beautifully. They brought a really old concrete fountain from Italy and planted a fruit tree in it. Stunning fountain. They have an old concrete watering trough converted to a fountain and I think she said it was from Turkey. It's worth a visit just for the decorations and outdoor area. The wine isn't up to par yet though.”
“If you are visiting the Carmel / Pebble Beach / Monterey area, the Pelio Estate Wines tasting room is a must! The accommodations are beautiful inside and out. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable about the wines. The wine is amazing. We would recommend to anyone visiting the area and we will be back on our next visit!”
“Excellent tasting room with a great vibe, friendly service, and beautiful setting. Morgan and Ari took great care of us, and we couldn't have asked for a more perfect afternoon. Rosé (by the glass) and Pinot Noir flights were delicious.”
