During your tour, you'll learn where locals go for the best food and wine on this enchanted stretch of coast. Each guided tour offers unique wine tastings coupled with a celebration of Carmel's cultural traditions.

Meeting Place and Weather

Our tours meet at the top of the steps opposite the ticket window of the Sunset Cultural Center.

Guests
