Est. 1994 ★ Carmel Valley, California
our story
Rooted in ranchland, family heritage, and a passion for crafting bold wines, the Galante story stretches from the pioneering days of Carmel-by-the-Sea to the rugged hills of Carmel Valley.
For generations, our family has been shaped by the land, a spirit of independence, and a belief that the best things in life are meant to be shared. Today, we carry that legacy forward in every bottle we produce—serious wines with authentic character, served with a little western spirit and a whole lot of hospitality.
