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.

Bonnie did a great job sharing the history of Carmel. Tour was good. Only 2 wine parings out of seven stops. Would have thought at least 3-4 stops would share wine.

Not just wine and food but honey and chocolate. Nice variety. Appreciated SMALL food and wine portions. Guide was LOCAL and knowledgeable. Opportunity to hear from chef or business owner would have been even better.

Enjoyable tour with Bonnie. The walking tour had seven stops where we had tastings/samples of food, and at two of the spots, wine as well. We’ve been coming to Carmel for years but still learned a lot of new things about the town, including about the history and architecture. We also got a great update on the food scene from Bonnie, who provided a number of recommendations. She was a great source of insider knowledge on all things Carmel. Some of the stops included commentary by the proprietors/servers which was also interesting. Would highly recommend both for first timers to Carmel and for regulars.
