Joyce Wine Company - Carmel Valley

This is an awesome place to bring a dog. They have a huge outdoor area with nice fire pits. I liked that they have good beer too cause I'm not much of a wine drinker. I loved the Mai Tai beer. I usually avoid IPAs but this one was great. Very fruity and not too bitter. Their burrata was delicious. I loved their glazed bread. Even their hummus was very good.

Great local wines and super helpful friendly staff. The Gabilan Mountain Syrah was our favorite. Really cool space, both indoor and out.

They have some of the best Pinots I've had at that price point $20-$30). The best part about making the trip is that the kids can run around on thr spacious grounds, play corn hole, and we can all participate playing bocce ball. Bring your own set or at least a palino, since they lost it last year.

Nice wine selection. Some fruit driven Pinots, Cab that isn't over oaked, and some enjoyable whites too. Good outdoor space, and you can grab a bite to your table from a near by eatery.

We had the pleasure of enjoying some excellent wine and even had the opportunity to chat with the winemaker directly, which was a lucky surprise. After trying several wines with a smooth, light finish, we decided to join the wine club. The collection is definitely drinkable and well-priced. The ambiance of the restaurant was also fantastic, with a nice complex atmosphere. We were excited to hear that the wine bar will be serving food this weekend as the kitchen is now open.
