Carmel-by-the-Sea is a very small community where businesses work together to support and promote each other.
In this fashion, Dawn's Dream has also partnered with Vendange Carmel Inn & Suites, which offers rooms decorated by local wineries. The Dawn's Dream room is a Standard Queen on the second floor.

In 1989, after a successful career as a music composer, writing over 100 scores for film, Alan Silvestri moved his family of five from Los Angeles to the Carmel Valley.
In the spring of 2000 Alan and his wife Sandra began a new adventure. They planted three varieties of grapes on their ten plus acres in Carmel Valley. Their first harvest of 100% estate grown grapes of the Silvestri Vineyards was in the Fall of 2003.
Silvestri Vineyards Wine Room, decorated with movie posters for which Alan wrote the score, is located on Seventh Avenue between Dolores and San Carlos.
As passionate about his wine as he is about his music Alan says, "There's something about the elemental side of wine making that appeals to me. Both music making and wine making involve the blending of art and science. Just as each note brings its own voice to the melody, each vine brings its own unique personality to the wine.”
Visit Silvestri Tasting Room and enjoy some of their current vintages which include: a 2012 Pinot Gris with hints of pear, kiwi and lemon lime, 2012 Pinot Blanc with hints of honeysuckle and cantaloupe, 2010 Chardonnay “Bella Sandra” with hints of honey, green apple and vanilla, and 2009 Pinot Noir “Rising Tide” with hints of blackberry and plum.
