Twisted Roots Winery — Attraction in California

Wine: A+ Renovated Tasting Room: A+ Owners (i.e. Josh & Julie Ruiz): A++

After coming to a Twisted Root tasting 4 years earlier, I remembered the wine and was eager to introduce it to our family and friends when we were in the area for our destination wedding. After my first phone call with Julie, I knew it was the right choice for our rehearsal dinner. She was personable from the get-go and great to work with! Julie was extremely accommodating during our remote coordination, figuring out drop-off and event timing, and even letting us swing by when we were in town for a quick tasting and a sigh of relief that the venue would be great for us.

We ended up having 80 people at our rehearsal dinner, which was slightly too big for the entire space and larger than we expected (note it was pretty chilly outside, so people huddled in).

Twisted Roots is one of my favorite spots in Carmel Valley. The atmosphere is relaxed and inviting, making it the perfect place to enjoy a great glass of wine - even better if the sun in shining and you can enjoy their adorable patio. Josh and Julie, the owners, have created something special here, and it shows in both the experience and the wine itself. The staff, Jon Karlo and Aubrey, are not only knowledgeable but also genuinely warm and welcoming. Every pour is excellent, and the location only adds to the charm. Definitely a must-visit if you're...
