You can pop in without a reservation, though they do ask if you have one, so is best practice to make one. Lovely little winery with a pretty view of the valley, flowers, and a shop inside. Got the welcome flight and some delicious calzone pizzas. No longer do tours because of Covid (May 2022), but cute spot for a date and a view! Had a wedding while we were there and it was separate from the guest area. Friendly male server with longer black hair
My wife and I were recently treated to a very nice Sunday brunch for our anniversary. Our friends were able to join us as they were also celebrating the opening of their business in Carmel (Remedy Spa). The brunch was fantastic and Chef Andrew and his team did an amazing job in everything from the presentation of our meals to the selection of wines to go with our meals.This wasn't our first time here, but definitely one that we will remember. If you are in the area and contemplating doing some tasting coupled with a great food option, I would suggest you stop in and treat yourself to a nice place to enjoy good food and wine.
A wonderful winery with some light fare and great wine. My wife and I wanted to try a local winery during our stay in Carmel. We opted for Folktale because it offered some food choices as well as wine tasting. While reservations are required here, we didn't know that but they were kind enough to seat us anyway. We sat in the covered patio (due to the chance of rain) at a cozy table for two. Not being sure which wines would be best, we went with our server's suggestion and ordered a flight of wine each. We both chose the same flight wines: the Sparkling Rose', Reserve SLH Pinot Noir, and Joseph's Blend (Grenache and Syrah). Each sample was about 3 ounces and were all very good. My favorite was Joseph's Blend. We ordered a charcuterie board as well with curated meats and added some cheese to the board. The board was great; it had three types of meat - Folktale's salami, calabrese salami, and wild boar salami. I was hesitant on the wild boar salami thinking it might be a bit gamey, but it was really good and, by far, my favorite of the three meats. The cheese was a light, firm cheese, similar to a Jack cheese. The board also came with cured olives, R&R bread, mustard jam, and purple onion conserva. Just a great addition to our wine flight. Our server, Ashley (sp?) was fantastic, attentive but no overly so, and just a joy. Highly recommended!
Fun wine tasting. Loved the outdoor space. Staff was accommodating & kind & helped with outdoor heater. I loved no pressure to buy wine, just enjoy the experience.
Rosé is awesome! The octopus is really good but prepare for spice and heat! The truffle fries is a winner!
Such a nice place, very family friendly while still being a winery and a very chill environment.Food is delicious, loved the burger with caramelizas onion.
We had brunch here and the place was great. The food, atmosphere, and the staff were all amazing. Very highly recommend.
Came to hear Alex Lucero. First time at folktale definitely not my last. Food was excellent as was the wine
Love this winery. We did a reservation booking online and the 15/ fee gets deducted from your tasting or purchase. I love the rose, reserve Pinot and syrah. They also serve delicious food.
Gorgeous winery! We had so much sitting outside, listening to the band playing, and enjoying our wine tasting
