Most of the wineries in the Carmel
Valley are located deep into the valley and the area
is not suitable for extensive auto traffic. Several
of these wineries have convenient tasting rooms located
near Carmel Valley Village, which is about 12 miles
from Highway 1 on Carmel Valley Road. There is only
one winery, the Chateau Julien, that has a combined
winery and tasting room available.
