🍷 A New Season, A New Release!

Our fall W**e Club shipments will be heading out in the next week or two, and now is the perfect time to join the Dove & Sea family!

As a small, family-run vineyard in Carmel Valley, we love sharing the w**es and stories of each season with you. Our W**e Club members enjoy hand-selected estate w**es, exclusive savings, early access to new releases, and special small-lot offerings.

🌿 Become Part of Our Legacy Vines Tradition!

When you join one of our 6- or 12-bottle W**e Clubs, you'll receive something truly special: a Legacy Vine in our estate vineyard!

Your name will be displayed among the vines, and you'll receive personal photos and updates throughout the year as your vine grows, blossoms, and bears fruit. It's a beautiful way to become part of our vineyard's story for years to come.

Whether you're joining for the w**es, the vineyard, or a little of both, we'd love to welcome you!

🍇 Explore our W**e Clubs and join before our fall shipments go out!

Little hands, big harvest. 🍇❤️

There’s something pretty special about watching our girls grow up alongside these vines — and getting their hands into harvest with us.

Blocks 1 & 4 of our estate Syrah are in, and we couldn’t be happier with this beautiful fruit. 🍷

And we’re off! 🍇

Harvest 2026 is officially underway at Dove & Sea. We’re out before sunrise this morning picking Blocks 1 and 4 of our estate Syrah, complete with headlights in the vineyard and a rooster announcing the start of the day. 🐓

We normally harvest around mid-October, but with warmer weather coming this week, we’re picking these two blocks now and hoping Blocks 2 and 3 will be ready soon.

What an interesting vintage. Here we goooo! 🍷🍇

🍇 And just like that… harvest has begun!

Today we harvested and processed our Pinot Noir from Comstock Farm and Kitchen in Carmel Valley — and this vintage is already keeping us on our toes.

Last year, we harvested these grapes on October 3. This year? August 31. More than a month earlier!

Every growing season tells its own story, and 2026 is certainly proving that. While we continue to watch the Timber Fire and the conditions surrounding our estate vineyard in Cachagua, we’re grateful that the Pinot Noir at Comstock Farm has not been affected by the smoke. The fruit was ready and looking beautiful, so today we picked!

From the vineyard, into the bins, through processing — and now the next part of its journey begins. 🍷

There’s something we love about harvest: after months of watching, waiting, worrying, tending and tasting, eventually the grapes tell you it’s time. And today, they said GO!

Here’s to the first fruit of Harvest 2026. ❤️🍇

The vineyard is at an important moment in the growing season.

With the Timber Fire burning nearby, we’ve been keeping a close eye on our vines. The nets are on, the fruit is looking beautiful, and we’re now about 70–75% through véraison — the stage when our Syrah grapes begin changing color, accumulating sugar and moving toward ripeness.

It’s a critical time for w**e grapes, and smoke exposure is something we take seriously as we move toward harvest. We’re watching the winds and conditions closely and hoping the heavier smoke stays away from the vineyard.

We’ve been through this before. In 2020, after prolonged wildfire smoke, we made the difficult decision to drop our estate fruit rather than make a w**e we didn’t believe in. But while we lost a vintage, many of our neighbors lost so much more.

And after all, losing a vintage is just that: losing a vintage. Our grapes can be grown again.

We are profoundly grateful to the firefighters, first responders and everyone working around the clock to protect this place we love — and to our neighbors who continue to show up for one another in all the ways this community always does.

So yes, we’re watching the vines. But much more importantly, we’re watching out for one another.

Stay safe, friends. ❤️

Out in the vineyard, we’ve just finished pruning — shaping each vine for the season ahead. It’s slow, intentional work… the kind that requires patience, care, and belief in what’s to come.

And it’s not lost on us that this same spirit is showing up at home, too.

While we’ve been tending to the vines, our oldest daughter has been building something of her own — pouring her creativity into her Etsy shop, one doodle at a time. Each piece she creates has its own little story behind it… thoughtful, personal, and entirely her own.

It feels familiar.

Because every vine in our vineyard tells a story too — shaped by hand, rooted in place, and grown with intention over time.

Different paths. Same roots.

As our vineyard begins to wake up for a new season, we’re reminded that growth happens in small, steady steps — whether in the soil… or in a young dream taking shape.

If you feel inspired to support the next generation of makers, we’d love for you to take a look at what she’s created! 🤍

There’s something special about this moment in the vineyard.

Pruning is done ✂️ — each vine carefully shaped by hand, setting the foundation for the entire growing season ahead. It’s quiet, thoughtful work… and one of the most important steps in the life of the vine!

And just in time! A heat wave has arrived, with temperatures climbing into the mid-80s to low 90s. All around us, neighboring vineyards are beginning to wake up — tiny signs of life returning to the landscape.

Budbreak is near!

This is where it all begins again — another season, another story, rooted deeply in Carmel Valley.

"The stronger the roots, the sweeter the fruit." 🌱

Something magical has been happening at Summerhill Vineyards, the estate vineyard of Dove & Sea… 🦉

An owl has started visiting our vineyard owl box — and it has returned every night! We’re hopeful it may decide to make this little corner of the vineyard home and perhaps even bring a mate along. If that happens, we could be lucky enough to see tiny owlets later this spring!

Fun vineyard tidbit: Barn owls are incredible natural pest managers. A single barn owl family can eat thousands of rodents in a year, which is one reason many vineyards install owl boxes as part of a healthy ecosystem.

If you turn the sound on, you can even hear our friend make a little call near the end of the video!

Now for the fun part… if our friend sticks around, it’s going to need a name!

Drop your owl name suggestions in the comments. 🦉

2020 was meant to be our first estate Syrah vintage.

Instead, the world stopped.

Like everyone else, we navigated the uncertainty of a global shutdown — and just as harvest approached in August, California was on fire.

Wildfire moved through our community and came right up to our property. Firefighters saved our home and vineyard — something we will always be grateful for.

When we were finally able to return to the vineyard, we made the painful decision to remove our estate fruit from the vines due to smoke exposure.

We dropped our fruit — but not our dream.

Earlier that season, before the Carmel fire began, we had harvested Syrah from Argyle Vineyard in South Monterey County. That fruit became the foundation for this w**e — a resilient blend born from a year that tested everyone.

Some vintages are remembered for their ease. Others are remembered for what they endured.

We’re honored that our 2020 Syrah has now been awarded 92 points from W**e Enthusiast.
