At the north end of the main drag of Los Olivos is the 99-sq-foot tasting room (the smallest building in town) of this equally small-production winery. Family-run and operated, Carhartt Winery produces Merlot, Syrah, Rose and Sangiovese from their own local vineyard, as well as making Sauvignon Blanc, Pinot Noir and Zinfandel from nearby sources. Mike grew up on the land he now farms with his winemaker wife, and together they are the heart of Carhartt Vineyard. 

The tiny tasting room is cozy and comfortable for a small group. Outside is a giant Japanese maple tree shading a small redwood deck surrounded by ferns, a trellis, a fountain, and comfortable chairs in which to relax. Wines are distributed only at the tasting room and a few shops in Santa Barbara County.
