Peace Water has always been a favorite for wine and atmosphere but now they have a small food menu that’s perfection. The flatbreads are the best we’ve ever had. The service and ambiance never disappoint. Love it!

Awesome wine bar with great places to sit inside and socialize or go out on the covered back porch and enjoy some live music. Great staff too.

Peace Water Winery is more than just a tasting room—it's a celebration of family, community, and California-crafted wines with a social mission. From the moment you walk in, you're greeted by an eclectic, cozy vibe that blends vintage charm (yes, there's a 1966 VW hippie van!) with heartfelt storytelling. The winery donates 50% of its profits to charities chosen by the owners’ eight children, making every bottle part of a larger purpose.

As a dry red drinker, this place was a pleasant surprise. Their grapes are from California and you can tell in all their reds. Nice variety of table and bold reds, definitely will be back

After spending a delightful day in Carmel, we stopped by the Peace Water Winery for the wine tasting experience. The atmosphere and decor was nice and the wine was okay. It was mid-afternoon and there were only 3 other patrons enjoying the tasting experience as a group. Apparently Michael was more interested in engaging with them than me and my sister-in-law, as I had to clink my glass on the bar to get his attention between pourings. Then I had to remind him while he was ringing us up that I hadn't received my 5th taste. Better customer service would have resulted in a better review.

Cheers to the adorable Peace Water Winery! Such a friendly, beautiful, and knowledge winery. I was visiting for an AAU tournament and was blown away that Peace Water Winery was right in front of my hotel. It had a great cycle of patrons and I knew it had to be good. The owner ended up chatting sports with my husband while I indulged in different wines. That's a win in itself! The staff were well knowledged about their selection and went above my questions. It's a great place for any occasion. There was an event coming in but that did not stop them from giving us full attention. The wines were delightful and well deacribed.

We were a group of four and wanted the “winery” tasting without driving too far to get it and we stop at Peace Water. Two of us had the wine tasting experience and the employees guide us through a wonderfully detailed story about the wines, winery and their owners. They don’t offer appetizers or snacks but you can bring your own to pair with the wines you buy. Overall the experience was GREAT and although price wise, I considered the wines a little bit on the higher side, the whole set up of you trying first what wine you want, sit at table and bring you own snacks, specially if you have dietary restrictions is a PLUS and worthwhile. I would recommend this place to anyone looking for a relaxed and fun place to enjoy.
