Chesebro Wines Tasting Room

Still the best & friendliest tasting room in the valley, with the most unique wines! Their tasting fee is now $ 10 for 6 – 7 wines, and they don’t have a Unilocal check-​in offer anymore BUT it’s still my all-​time fave. From crisp Albarino to lush Roussane, Grenache rose or a smokey Pinot Noir, Chesebro’s wines are always worth taking home and so well priced (in the $ 20 – 30 range). We joined the wine club, so get free tastings anytime we’re in! Such a good deal, and a great excuse to come to Carmel and pick up our wines twice a year.

I really liked the rose. They have a great and wide selection of white wines if you are a fan. Very knowledgeable staff, and a nice large room with local artists work displayed. I would definitely recommend stopping in for a tasting.

Love this place. Atmosphere is comfortable, staff is really comfortable to be around and most of all, the wine is really delicious and I can’t think of a reason why I wouldn’t want to revisit this wonderful tasting room again.
Thanks !

Very disappointed. Planned a day of wine tastings throughout Carmel Valley for guests that travelled from Philadelphia. They wanted to specifically come here to do a tasting and purchase wine for a party on Saturday. Arrived at 5:15 and was met by a locked door. When we knocked the woman behind the counter just shook her head and waved. Very rude and disappointing despite the web and sign advertising they were open until 6. Will not return to an establishment that welcomes customers with a locked door and rude service.

How could I give a complimentary wine tasting (with a Unilocal check-​in offer) anything other than 5-​stars? Gotta love a winery that sounds like it’s named after one of Keanu Reeves’ favorite snacks: «Cheese, bro»
Alyssa was the HBIC that day, taking us through several different varietals. My personal favorite was the rose… But when isn’t it the rose my favorite? Add some sparkle into that bottle and you’d have a customer for life! But until then, a bottle or two at $ 16 each isn’t too shabby.
There are many tasting rooms in Carmel Valley, which makes it difficult to pick one unless you have an experienced guide leading the way. Lucky for us, a Cheesebro wine club member guided us here first. No appointments necessary, just delicious wine.

Spacious room with friendly pourers; local art on the walls; free tasting thru Unilocal app. on smartphone (and inexpensive wine). Did not care for it. You only have enough time and alcohol capacity for a few — and this is not one of them. Sorry.

We stopped by after a recommendation from a winery down the road and were pleasantly surprised. The wine was delicious and the tasting fee was free because I checked in via the Unilocal app. Wine is reasonably priced and we ended up buying 3 bottles. Would have joined the wine club, but decided against since we live in San Jose and couldn’t take advantage of the benefits of membership.
We will definitely be going back next time we are in the area.

Great tasting experience. Great hostess. Great wine. Great value too. It is such a wonderful day trip out into the Carmel Valley, and there are multiple other tasting venues within a short walking distance. However, we tried multiple and this was by far the best! Walked out with 3 bottles, and will return to this place again.

If you are simply looking to taste wine and have fun. Go here. It’s airy and lovely. Well put together and professional. If you a more experienced wine taster, you will be disappointed by this wine. It’s simply marketed to people who are impressed by a nice label

Chesebro was a pleasant surprise.
After visiting Dawn’s, we wanted to try out another of the tasting rooms along the same strip. There were about 3 others to choose from, and Chesebro seemed to have the best things being Unilocaled about it.
The $ 6 tasting fee gets you 7 wines, which is a pretty excellent price — especially when you use the Unilocal check in offer and then get to taste for free!
The wines themselves are also relatively cheap, being around the $ 20 price range. And really, they’re good wines.
Because the tasting fee was waived, and because the wines were actually pretty great, I ended up buying a bottle of the Sauvignon Blanc for my dad.
While you’re wine tasting at Chesebro, they also have a mini art exhibit for local artists that they change our regularly. During our visit, they had a collection by two artists, a husband and wife, that focused on owls and printed objects.

Top notch wine tasting, not only for a wide variety of wines but for a friendly and casual atmosphere. The woman who took care of us was tremendous, knowledgeable about not only wine but about art and life and music. This was the capper on a truly wonderful day in the valley.

This was the best experience on our day of tasting and the only place where we bought bottles after tasting. They offer a very unique set of varietals, including Vermentino, Roussanne, and Las Arenas (a Grenache/​Syrah blend). It cost $ 6 to taste 6 wines, and the wines themselves were very reasonably priced (most less than $ 20).
Both workers who were pouring were very friendly and knowledgeable. The art in the tasting room was also a nice touch. We ended up buying a bottle of the Las Arenas and Syrah for less than $ 40. Quite a steal!

I love this tasting room. There is lots of space in the place and art to amuse you in between the tasting. The wines are fantastic and even though they are not widely advertised, they are a good buy.
The service is great and they enjoy spending time talking to you about the wine. Definitely check this place out if you are in Carmel Valley. I really enjoyed the red blend from Arroyo Seco.

Unique varietals. very good selection.
We started with a Vermentino, which I had never tried but, instantly loved. It was light, semi sweet and smooth.
The Roussanne had the brown sugary fragrance that I love about roussanne, but the taste was much more mellow than it smelled. I can’t recall details of the taste. because this was when I was getting a good buzz and when I should have started tasting instead of actually drinking.
Great tasting, the wine chick was super knowledgeable and approachable and she tasted every single bottle before pouring for us, which was impressive, as most people just pour and don’t really care about what they are about to present. Kudos to you wine chickie :)

This place makes me very annoyed about the various Monterey County/​Carmel Valley wine related websites… mainly because they had NO indication that this place existed. Seriously… apparently half a dozen places have opened up in Carmel Valley and none of them were listed anywhere.
So having discovered that there are a lot of new wineries in Carmel Valley, went in to taste here towards the end of the day. Well, actually we went in because of something hanging in the front window but then I saw the list of wines and decided to alter plans and taste here… a decision I am very glad I made. Lots of good wines and some rather obscure varietals including at least one that I hadn’t heard of [a situation I don’t encounter all that often these days]. Their red wines are good, but the white wines are amazing… seriously… try the Vermentino and really really try the Roussanne. Plus, they have a late harvest Sauvignon Blanc. Plus, the prices are fairly cheap… mainly $ 15 – 25.
Not only were the wines good, but the person minding shop that day was friendly, informative, and helpful [putting together two shipping boxes for us].
My new favorite place in Carmel Valley.
