About Dawn's Dream Winery
Dawn's Dream Winery brings the Santa Lucia Highlands to Carmel-by-the-Sea, specializing in estate-grown Pinot Noir from one of Monterey County's most acclaimed cool-climate appellations. Founded by Dawn Galante, the winery is a deeply personal project born from a lifelong love of wine and the Monterey coast. The tasting room sits at the corner of San Carlos and 7th in the heart of Carmel's charming village, offering an intimate and welcoming space to explore single-vineyard Pinot Noirs, Chardonnay, and a celebrated Rose.
The wines are crafted from fruit grown on the steep, fog-kissed slopes of the Santa Lucia Highlands, where maritime influence and well-drained soils produce Pinot Noir of exceptional finesse and aromatic complexity. Dawn's Dream has earned a loyal following for its elegant, food-friendly wines and warm hospitality, and the Carmel tasting room location makes it an easy stop for visitors exploring the Monterey Peninsula's wine scene.
