Carmel Wine Walk-by-the-Sea Tasting Room Tour - Part 2, Carmel, California

This is Part 2 of a self-guided tour of the wine rooms listed on Carmel's Wine Tasting Passport. The current cost of the Passport is $65.00 which entitles the buyer to one $10 flight of wine at nine of the fourteen tasting rooms listed on the passport. Seven of the wine rooms are described in Part 1 as well as all of the rules, regulations, and use of the Passport.

Except for Scheid, the last seven wine rooms described in this blog post comprise the largest concentration of wine rooms in Carmel.

Of the fourteen wine rooms on the Passport, eight are located in one downtown city block. Not that Carmel-by-the-Sea is proud of this. It just happens to be how things worked out. We now have laws on the books making this impossible to happen again.

Personally I am not worried about too many wine rooms. I enjoy each one of them for what they offer. And frankly it is all about supply and demand. Eventually things will shake out as they should. In the meantime here are the last seven wine rooms on the Carmel Wine Passport.
