The Winery and Winemaking

November 3, 2015

This year, the grape harvest has been a roller coaster for the growers and winemakers; we are just about finished winemaking at the winery! We will be processing our last 3 tons of Cabernet Sauvignon the first week of November, which is late but mother nature runs the show. Winemaking: This year we hand made and crafted wine from: 4 Tons of Pinot Noir from Los Alamos CA, 3 Tons of Merlot from Dry Creek Sonoma, 2 Tons of Malbec…

Our Grand Opening

Thank You!!!! We cannot extend enough gratitude to everyone who attended our grand opening week, or helped us get ready! On Thursday we had a soft opening for family and we were super surprised by Lisa’s sister and brother-in-law from New York who popped in and her younger brother flew in from PA. We were just blown away that they came and it brought tears to Lisa’s eyes. Everyone stayed late and had a good time. The food was good,…

My friend and I went to Koi Zen for the first time Wednesday evening. What a hidden GEM in Carmel Mountain Ranch. A... lovely, relaxing atmosphere. The tasting was a treat. I enjoyed all five wines. The cheese plate delicious. A bonus, Wednesday is bingo night. We had so much fun and will revisit Koi Zen soon.read more

A wonderful experience. The staff was so friendly and helpful. They informed us of the winery's history and told us of... the various happenings. They we're not pushy and did not mention the wine club. The interior is beautifully decorated in simple rustic, zen. We met the wine maker and he welcomed us to their tasting room. We plan to return soon to see what they are like when they are busier.read more

Nice little Tasting Room tucked away in a Office Park. Excellent service and nice Vibe and atmosphere and the winemaker... was around to answer questions. The wines are fairly mediocre but appropriate to their price points. Nice approachable wines and overall vibe.read more

Koi Zen Cellars is a great gem in Carmel Mountain! Local husband and wife owners, very friendly, making wine where... you'd least expect it as an urban winery. The tasting room has recently expanded providing event space, live music and a wonderful environment to meet friends and unwind. The wine is fantastic, and they offer many classes to help you learn more about it. They feature local artists on the walls, support local charities and community interests. We've been going here for a couple years now, and love it!read more
