We were there with friends one hour before closing. the tasting room is a cute little place, clean and nice Interieur. some music was playing in the background, for this is the one star rating. Otherwise it would've been zero stars, because the atmosphere is awkwardly quiet. we ordered 2 different flights, 2 with 5 wines and one of our friends had the flight with 3 wines. the waiter was unfortunately very uncommunicative and just poured the wines with some small background informations about them. after our friend was done with his flight he haven't been asked for something by the glass or anything to re-visit of the flight and just had to watch us trying 2 more wines. When we asked for check there was no offer for any bottles, drink by glass or anything else, it felt like we were bothering the waiter while watching something or texting with somebody on his phone. And overall the wines were not tasteful or worth remembering them. there are a lot more better places around, and the fact that the tasting room is empty, everytime we're passing by, speaks for itself and I'm wondering about the good reviews.

Took my family to this beautiful, inviting, awesome place, and we had such a great time! Thanks to Nicole, she made it a super fun experience for all of us! I highly recommend it here at Albatross! (The wine is delicious!)

Best smooth wine. Highly recommended. We are taking two wines home: Cuvée Beaudry and Cuvée Owen. Some of the best wines I have ever had! Thank you Nicole for your great service!

We absolutely LOVE this winery! The cottage in Carmel Valley is so charming… such a great ambiance, just like their tasting rooms in Carmel and Monterey. The staff is amazing, and their sparkling wine is by far my favorite of all time. A must visit when in the area! Plus the family that own this winery are some of the kindest, nicest people ever. And they do a lot to support the local community and other businesses in the area. Highly recommended.

My favorite local winery. The 2019 first flight Chardonnay is my favorite. Dog-friendly, great outdoor patio vibes…
Vegetarian options: Amazing Mediterranean plate

My husband and I had a wonderful time wine tasting on a Saturday afternoon. The cottage is cozy but chic and away from crowds next door (in a good way). Nicole was fun, friendly and knowledgeable. We walked away with several bottles of wine and a club membership. We will definitely be returning.

My husband and I had a wonderful time tasting wines and bread/olive oil. The cottage is cozy but chic and away from the crowds next door (in a good way). Nicole was fun, friendly and knowledgeable. We walked away with several bottles and joined their wine club. Will definitely be returning.

I was a little nervous about coming to this tasting room because of a few negative reviews based on service but we were thrilled with our experience. Dom was amazing. He answered all of our questions and gave us an amazing tasting. We now know what we like and what we don't and how to communicate that to a Sommelier. You have to try their smoky rosé!!!! It is a unique experience. They have done something most wineries just don't do or know to do.

This is a hidden gem in Carmel Valley. Beautiful back patio to try all of the wine. Our group did a wine tasting and the servers were very knowledgeable about all the wines and friendly! This place would be 5 stars for me, but unfortunately we ordered a charcuterie board and some of the cheeses had mold on it (not cheese that was intended to have mold). When we pointed this to the servers there wasn't a huge shock. To be honest I didn't want to make a huge deal because they were doing great at everything else (maybe I should have). I had assumed that we wouldn't be charged for a $30 charcuterie board that had mold on it but we were, and that is why I gave this location 2 stars.

These wines are fantastic! The woman who guided us through our tasting was so knowledgeable and accurate in her descriptions without the occasional esoteric snobbery that can come at a winery. Would definitely go back!

We did the smaller tasting of 3 wines. There was a great Chardonnay, a superior Sparkling Rose', and a very good Pinot Noir. Paired with the charcuterie, a most enjoyable experience. Highly recommend!
