About Albatross Ridge Winery & Kitchen
Albatross Ridge Winery & Kitchen is a wine-focused tasting room and kitchen located on Alvarado Street in downtown Monterey, California. Operated by the family-run Albatross Ridge winery, it showcases estate-grown, cool-climate Pinot Noir and Chardonnay from their Carmel Valley vineyard, along with other varietals, in an intimate, design-forward setting. Guests can enjoy guided tastings, wines by the glass or bottle, and a menu of tapas-style light bites that complement the wine program, plus a rotating selection of craft beers.
A charge from “Albatross Kitchen” or similar on a card statement is likely related to an in-person visit to the Monterey tasting room, such as a wine tasting flight, glasses or bottles of wine, small plates, or participation in a special event like live music or a pop-up dinner. It may also reflect the purchase of wine to-go, club-member charges when picking up allocations at the Winery & Kitchen location, or gratuities added to an in-person tab. Some processors shorten names, so “Albatross Ridge Winery & Kitchen” can reasonably appear as “ALBATROSS KITCHEN” or a similar truncated descriptor.
To verify the charge, cardholders can cross-check the transaction date and amount against any receipts or email confirmations from Albatross Ridge, or against their memory of visiting the Monterey, Carmel-by-the-Sea, or Carmel Valley tasting locations around that time. If there are questions, the business can be contacted using the phone number or email listed on albatrossridge.com, or by inquiring via the contact form on their website. For suspected errors, contacting the winery first to request a copy of the receipt or to discuss a possible refund is recommended; if the issue cannot be resolved, the cardholder can then dispute the transaction through their bank, providing details of any communication with the merchant.
