Drink up a piece of history…

Our tasting room is nestled in Carmel Valley Village.  And like our wines, boasts its own cultural and storied history within the community.  Once a bookshop named “The Encounter,” the building was once owned by the sister of Joan Baez and was a beloved venue that would frequently be visited by such legends as John Lennon and Bob Dylan.
