Georis Winery tasting facilities are located in the Carmel Valley Village. The property is enclosed by old adobe walls with an iron gate entrance. As you walk into the gardens you encounter a koi fish pond; marble tables located under olive trees provide a perfect shaded setting for relaxing and wine tasting. The inside of our old adobe is reminiscent of early California architecture, furnished with old Mexican antiques and a well-worn leather couch. A new grand piano finishes the setting as a backdrop to the interior. Our fireplace invites you into the gift area, which is made up of several rooms that contain unusual furnishings and gifts from far away places in the sun.
Our facilities include a commercial kitchen, indoor and outdoor dining areas. We can provide you with a full food service.
