Weekend visitors can move from a group tasting straight into lunch or dinner at the restaurant on the same property.

Choosing a Tasting Experience

Carmel has a winery and a cider maker a short way apart, and both expect groups to book ahead rather than turn up. Hainault @ Carmel pours its full wine range, while Carmel Cider Co works from a third-generation apple and pear orchard.

How the two Carmel cellar doors differ for a group:

Hainault @ Carmel runs booked group tastings of the whole range, including a cabernet merlot blend, a grenache rosé and a fortified red
Hainault's tasting can carry on into a meal, with share plates at the cellar door and a restaurant open for weekend lunches
Carmel Cider Co offers paddles of traditional-method sparkling cider, the core ciders or the house spirits
Booked groups at the cider house can add a guided walk through the production shed with the maker
Carmel Cider Co's packing shed and pop-up bar are hired for private functions of about 250 standing or 150 seated

Hainault @ Carmel lists birthday parties, so a tasting there can lead into a birthday lunch or dinner
Carmel Cider Co lists corporate events, with the shed tour giving a work group something to do together
Hainault's restaurant serves dinner on Friday and Saturday evenings as well as weekend lunches
The cider house shed function brings in outside catering and furniture, so plan suppliers early
