Visit Monterey Wine Country
Visit Monterey County, one of the top wine destinations of the world! Approximately 85 vintners and growers are now farming in the county, producing more than 40 varietals and a booming wine scene. Try our signature pinot noir, chardonnay and syrah at tasting rooms in Monterey, Carmel and the Carmel and Salinas Valleys.
“Monterey County offers so many unique and top-class experiences in not only wine and food but in everything from outdoor adventures to art to sightseeing. It has an undiscovered, offbeat, creative flair while at the same time offering very elegant experiences. We feel Monterey represents our reader – extremely modern, approachable, sincerely quality driven. Glamour without pretense. Progressive.” said Wine Enthusiast Executive Editor Susan Kostrzewa.

Wine Tasting in Monterey County
Monterey County is home to some of the finest vineyards in the world. The area also boasts many great tasting rooms to try them all.
Alfaro Family Vineyards - Corralitos, California
Alfaro Family Vineyard's 35 acres of hillside vines are located less than 4 miles from the cooling influence of the Monterey Bay in the southern end of the Santa Cruz Mountains appellation in the town of Corralitos. They specialize in Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Syrah and Zinfandel. To read my review check the following link:
Ventana Pinot Noir
Ventana's 2008 Pinot Noir has an explosion of vibrant cherry, raspberry and cranberry flavors with a delicious hint of chocolate. Ten months of barrel aging rounds out the flavor complexities with a touch of smokiness and vanilla. The wine is medium bodied with a bright berry red color.
This food friendly Pinot Noir is a pleasing accompaniment to almost any entrée from almond encrusted salmon to duck in cherry reduction sauce. It is fabulous now or cellar up to eight years.
VENTANA SUITE - AMBASSADOR HOTEL
Luxury, Romance and Elegance await in this lovely jacuzzi suite. Ultra luxurious and comfortable King bed and spacious layout await you. Unwind and rekindle with added upgrades of jacuzzi tub or in-room fireplace. A.M. Rise and Shine Continental Service each morning.
