The wine tasted pretty good but the service seemed a little off. We were the only customers there and were doing our tasting outside. Generally they were really nice, but when they would go back inside they would shut the door. We could still hear what they were talking about and it was a lot of swearing and drama. But we did enjoy the location.
Love their wines and the staff is extremely friendly and accommodating. Been coming here for three years and always have a good time.
Wonderful place with a wonderful selection of wines - something for everyone. We were very well taken care of with A+ service. Melissa was fantastic - even late at night serving a number of tables, she was so friendly, helpful and patient. Thank you!
We stopped by on a lark after having lunch at Anton and Michele nearby. We weren't sure if we wanted another wine tasting as we'd had so many in the last few days, but the Kori wine tasting room manager was so inviting and friendly, we decided to try it.We're so glad we did! It was excellent! The manager spent a lot of time discussing their wines, the owner the winery, her background, the tasting notes, our trip... it was like talking with a new friend. She made sure it was well worth our time and was a lot of fun.Even though she was quite busy shortly after we got there, she made sure to give everyone plenty of attention. No one's glasses were empty for long.We spent about and hour or so there and agreed she made this stop the best tasting room experience we had on our trip to Carmel-By-The-Sea. We will not only go back, but put Kori on our list of places we will now visit each time we go.
Would give them 10 stars if I could. Happened on this gem this afternoon and had an amazing time. Jada was such a pleasure. So friendly and knowledgeable. Wine selection was very good. It was the best start to our birthday day celebration. Will 100% come back when in the area.
Horrible experience from start to finish. We had a reservation at 3:30pm. When we called ahead to let them know we were coming over, we were told that there was a party before us who was still there and we were asked to show up 15 minutes late for our reservation. We asked that we be contacted when the seating was ready but was told to just show up late and when we do, the previous party will then be asked to leave.We showed up late as instructed, and the party before us was asked to leave. The hostess then sat another party at our table and we had to remind her that we had a reservation. The other group had to move and we finally sat down to fulfill our reservation.There were roughly 6 very small tastings for $20 per person. The pours were sloppy and splashed on the table, with less than 5 minutes in between each pour. There was no description offered except for the tasting notes on paper. I couldn’t tell you a single thing about this winery.After 40-45 minutes of sitting, we were told that we needed to get up because the next reservation had arrived. One person in our party had not even gotten through all the tastings yet! The waitress said that we had the table for an hour and we could stand on the side walk to finish the tasting or revisit anything before we purchase bottles.We asked questions about the shipping costs and purchasing bottles but the answers were rushed. Our table was being cleared even before we paid and despite one of us not finishing the tasting, we were charged in full. It was obvious that they were rushing us out. This experience seemed to be everyone other guests’ that day we were there because multiple people were rolling their eyes and complaining.This was a TERRIBLE experience— by far the worst tasting room I’ve ever visited. It’s a shame because some of the wines were actually good but we barely had enough time to enjoy them.If you’re looking for a pregame power hour of wine, this is your spot. If you’re looking for a wine tasting, I can not recommend this place.
Wow! Great little tasting room worth checking it out. Wine is amazing.
I really liked the atmosphere here. The first tasting wine, which was bubbly, was my favorite. That's all a matter of preference, of course, so I'd add the woman serving the wine was really friendly and made conversation easily. She gave us a coupon for a two for one wine tasting elsewhere in Carmel too. Great experience.
Delightful staff, delightful wine. Will definitely be back!!!
Best wines in Carmel! We took a bottle of Rosé to share over a picnic lunch, and it was fabulous!
