Folktale Winery
8940 Carmel Valley Road, Carmel, (831) 293‑7500, folktalewinery.com
The grapes on Folktale’s 15 acres of Carmel Valley vineyard are living their best lives, no wrath involved – and so can you. A visit to the idyllic Folktale Winery goes beyond just tasting wine and learning about winemaking practices (though there is that on offer). After you sip, enjoy food (including Sunday brunch) in the wine garden, or plan your visit around one of the many live music acts that Folktale hosts. That’s a full day well spent.
