Albatross Ridge

Nestled in the heart of downtown Carmel-by-the-Sea, Albatross Ridge offers a refined tasting experience just steps from the beach, surrounded by acclaimed restaurants, boutique hotels, and luxury shops. Our elegant, spacious tasting room provides a comfortable and intimate setting to explore our award-winning estate-grown Pinot Noir and Chardonnay—crafted entirely by our family from vine to bottle.

Inspired by our grandfather William Hawley Bowlus, who launched his famed “Albatross” sailplanes from the ridges of Carmel Valley in the 1930s, we carry on his spirit of innovation by cultivating vines on dramatic coastal slopes rising 1,250 feet above sea level. The result: wines that are expressive, vibrant, and uniquely reflective of their cool-climate terroir.

Savor curated tasting flights paired with artisanal charcuterie and light bites in our relaxed, pet-friendly space.
