Sunset Cultural Center
This is the meeting place for Carmel Food Tours. Look for the tall, Gothic-style arch and huge windows. It looks a little like a church, but it's not. When you descend into the courtyard, which is located EXACTLY at the intersection of 9th & San Carlos, you'll be greeted by your tour guide.

What a great experience! Some fantastic stops on this tour and Penny the guide was awesome. You learn a lot about the town and you will meet new people along the way. Well worth the price of the tour.

My girlfriend and I really enjoyed the tour. Our tour guide, Brian had a great personality and kept us in informed and entertained for the full 3+ hours. We visited wonderful local businesses and left well fed and happy. I would recommend this for anyone visiting Carmel.

Most food tours I have done in other cities arrange tastings at some of the key restaurants in the area. I feel like we only got one good restaurant in our selection. It’s nice to have a couple of stops for honey and chocolate but having a hotdog in Carmel was very disappointing.

Gail, we work diligently to provide an experience that showcases a wide variety of options for our guests - a true taste of what's available in Carmel. We clearly didn't deliver what you were hoping for, but we stand by our product and partners. Thank you for sharing your great photos.
