Scratch Wine Tasting Room

I’m not sure who was happier between my dog and myself at Scratch’s tasting room. All the wines were absolutely delicious, and the service was phenomenal. My dog also got the VIP treatment enjoying treats and a complimentary bandana. One of my favorite tasting rooms in Carmel Valley.

What a gem! The space is beautiful and comfortable. Scratch has an eye for design and for fine art. The wines are off-the-charts wonderful, from delectable bubbles to uncommon varieties and blends to classics like Grenache, Pinot Noir, and Cabernet Sauvignon. The staff are warm, friendly, thoughtful, and knowledgeable. Scratch was the highlight of our trip to Carmel Valley.

Had a great time wine tasting at scratch wine, we got there a little late from off-road driving, all great wines, specifically the reds, kid friendly 👍 they have good atmosphere, everything is elegant, the outdoor is also pretty. Can't wait to go back.

Very charming wine tasting room place with great wine! Can sit inside or outside, order food from nearby and they will deliver it to your table. Excellent decor, lovely space inside and out. Highly reccomending!

Yesterday, my two retired racing greyhounds & I spent the best 2 hours tasting wine and talking about adopting retired racing greyhounds at the Scratch Wines tasting room in Carmel. Lilly was behind the bar pouring & in front of the bar loving on the furboys. The wines were great too. The owner & head winemaker is apparently an overachiever who also makes wine for Wrath and for Kori locally. My hat is off to her! I need to try the other two wineries now. While I greatly prefer reds over whites, Scratch has a couple very good whites they're pouring right now. A sparkling Chardonnay and a very nice Riesling, plus a drinkable rose (I struggle with roses). The Scratch 2014 Pinot Noir is the bomb, and their 2015 Grenache and 2016 Cab will be excellent with a year or two of aging. I only wish the art gallery was open when we visited. I guess that means I'll have to return. ;-) PS - the label art chosen for Scratch is pretty fantastic too! Update June 2021 Visit: My oldest daughter and I visited the new Carmel Valley Tasting Room on Father's Day with my hounds, of course! Lilly remembered and welcomed us all to the beautiful new space with fantastic seating options inside and out. Sabrine Rodem (the proprietor and winemaker extraordinaire) did a fantastic job setting up this tasting room to showcase her very tasty selection of wine. Lilly was pouring a sparkling white and a sparkling rose that are perfect for warm weather, and Sabrine's reds were a joy to finish the tasting with. Carmel and Carmel Valley are beautiful places to visit with or without your dog(s). Lilly and the tasting room staff make everyone feel like old friends, and that includes the furry four-legged visitors. Do yourself a favor and visit Scratch in their new Carmel Valley location. I know you'll enjoy it! I enjoyed it so much, I joined the wine club. I'll be back often.
