Windy Oaks Tasting Room

Windy Oaks was founded in 1996 by Jim and Judy Schultze, when they returned to California after living overseas for 7 years in Australia and Europe.

On a windy ridge in Corralitos, overlooking Monterey Bay, they planted their first three acres and produced their first vintage of Pinot Noir in 1999. Today, they farm almost 30 acres of Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, and Syrah.

Take the 10-minute drive east out from Hwy One, and visit Windy Oaks Tasting Room in the heart of the Carmel Valley Wine Tasting Trail.

This beautiful, roomy tasting room is perfect for a larger group, but has intimate seating areas as well. And be wowed by the giant old oak tree branches framing our tasting bar. 

Please check winery website for days and hours of operation.

This illustrated map of California highlights dog-friendly destinations across the state. The coastline features beaches where people and their dogs play in the surf and run along sandy stretches. Forests in the north show hikers with leashed pets on shaded trails beneath redwoods and pines. In the mountains, skiers navigate snowy slopes alongside dogs fitted with boots or jackets. Major landmarks such as the Golden Gate Bridge, Hollywood sign, Yosemite’s Half Dome, and Lake Tahoe are marked with small groups: travelers accompanied by their dogs exploring city parks or pausing at scenic lookouts. The map uses bold colors to distinguish natural regions—blue for ocean areas, green for forests, white for mountain peaks—and includes labeled icons indicating popular pet-friendly activities throughout California’s diverse landscape.
