About Château Sinnet
Chateau Sinnet Winery and Vineyards sits at 13746 Center Street in Carmel Valley Village, in Monterey County, not the Santa Cruz Mountains as this listing previously showed. It is set back in a Carmel Valley shopping center behind a brick front, and the local press has described it as a different species of tasting room from the rest of the Carmel Valley trail.
The interior is the point as much as the wine: monkey art and simian sculptures, rows of hot sauce bottles, jewelry, collectibles, an art room and a small gourmet food shop. The pour covers seven classic red varietals alongside a run of sweet and fruit wines, including a peach called Monet made with honey, a plum called Matisse, and an almond sparkling wine that sells out every year. The flagship red is The Red Eyed Monkey. California Winery Advisor puts the estate at 165 acres.
Published hours differ. Carmel.com lists the room as open daily from noon to 6 pm, while California Winery Advisor shows noon to 5 pm; reported tasting fees have ranged from five dollars to $7.50, and tours are described as being by appointment. Bottles have been listed anywhere from about fifteen to ninety five dollars. Call (831) 659-2244 and confirm current details before planning a visit.
