  • Great for fine wines
  • Romantic
  • Good for special occasions
Located on Dolores St, between Ocean and 6th Avenue, our Downtown Carmel Tasting Room is conveniently located next to fine dining restaurants, lodging, and other retail stores. Albatross Ridge Winery specializes in premium Chardonnay and Pinot Noir grown on our Estate in Carmel Valley, just seven miles from Carmel by the Sea. Our recent 2014 release was rated by Wine Enthusiast 94 & 95 points! Albatross Ridge was also recognized by Wine Enthusiast as one of the most Dramatic Vineyards in California.

In the early 1930's my grandfather William Hawley Bowlus began launching his one of a kind Albatross sailplanes off the ridges of Carmel Valley. Today our family carries on his avant-garde legacy farming Pinot Noir and Chardonnay on a steep Carmel Valley ridge overlooking the Carmel Bay only seven miles in the distance.

    This is our second time visiting Albatross Ridge and we had a wonderful afternoon of wine tasting! Jonathan was very friendly, helpful and knowledgeable about the wines--he really made the afternoon for us. What a great relaxed atmosphere for tasting delicious wines! Thank you so much - we will be back again and again...

    Currently am a member of Albatros wine club and was looking to go to the 12bottle plan from 6. Went in for a tasting with parents and after buying 2 bottles days earlier instead of 3 bottles and they couldn’t even comp a second tasting, so no desire to go to 12 bottles. Little desire to stay with them as a brand. Whats a better winery?

    We loved the experience and especially their generous pours! Their premier flight was my favorite although the last two pinots on the grand flight are really good too!

    Dominic was marvelous!! I had made a reservation with my aunt with minimal knowledge on red wines and Dominic was amazing in giving us tips on pointers for how to taste and enjoy wines. He answered all questions and was so sweet and patient. Would highly recommend visiting. Definitely going back!
