What To Expect

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.

We had a lovely time. And we senior citizens could mostly keep pace with the group. Excellent range of food choices. And always fun to walk around Carmel.

Great experience. Love the idea that the food were prepared by local chefs/ entrepreneurs of the area. It’ll definitely help their businesses. The food were also really delicious but hoping to add coffee in the menu (I’m sure a lot of us would love a sip of coffee). Our guide was also great. Would definitely do it again.

This food tour was good, not great. It was billed as a "food and wine" tour, but only one of the six stops had wine. Two stops for dessert was excessive. There was more food than any other food tour I've been on - the portions of food at some stops were very large. But the other stops were not. The honey stop was amazing, but a honey tasting is not food. The tour just seemed somewhat disjointed. The experience was not bad, but I don't think I would necessarily recommend it. I may be biased because I've been on some absolutely beyond amazing food tours before. This was just so-so.

Hi Shawna, I'm sorry to hear your experience wasn't the 5-star experience we strive to provide. I'm glad to know that you didn't leave hungry. We'll review your other comments as a team and see where we can improve.
