Carmel-by-the-Sea Restaurants - VIN by the Sea

Vin By the Sea is a family-owned boutique wine bar and all-day restaurant with a curated selection of small production wines, bubbles serving casual elevated dining. We cultivate an approachable and inspiring space to get together, making the everyday something to celebrate.

A broader list of wines and sparkling by the glass lets our quests experiment, discover new favorites, and make space for wine makers who aren't featured on traditional wine lists. Paired with thoughtfully crafted cuisine that is elevated but never fussy, a welcoming staff, and a gorgeous space, it's the perfect space to gather.

With over 50 selections by the glass and bottle, the extensive list caters to every palate, from crisp Chardonnays and refreshing Rosés to bold reds, all served until late. Pair these with chef-driven coastal cuisine from Chef Paul Corsentino, whose 20+ years of experience shine in each plate with seasonal ingredients from local foragers, fishermen, and farmers ensure fresh, harmonious flavors that celebrate Monterey's bounty.

Open Tuesdays, Wednesdays & Thursdays 12–9 PM, Friday 12-10

Saturday BRUNCH 10-3, Dinner 4-10
