Dawn's Dream Winery

Scenic tasting room rooted in charitable giving

Best known for: Award-winning wines with a philanthropic mission

Dawn's Dream Winery was founded by Dawn Galante in 2011 and reflects her passion and purpose. Located in Carmel-by-the-Sea, California, the winery is known for its elegant and complex wines made from top California vineyards.

Dawn's journey with wine started back in 1985, when she moved from Michigan to California. She gained experience working at her husband's winery before starting her own, motivated by a desire to create wines that both please the palate and support charitable causes.

She runs the 'Dream a Little Dream of Me!' program, which allows her to give back to various nonprofit organizations. The winery’s main offerings include Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, and Rosé, all reflecting the unique terroir of Monterey County and the Santa Lucia Highlands regions.

Visitors to Dawn's Dream can enjoy a friendly tasting room where they can sample different wines and take in the scenic surroundings.
