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.

My wife and I enjoyed this tour very much. We tasted good food and wine and had a good time walking around Carmel. Our tour leader was Bonnie and she was great. She was very interesting and informative and she set a nice pace - not too fast. Bonnie definitely made this an outstanding experience for us.

This top notch amuse-bouche of Carmel-By-The Sea offers far more than small bites of cuisine. It is a compelling mix of history, culture, art and local sourcing -- farm-to-table-to-pallet, vine-to-wine and balsamic, olives to EVOO, and honey bees-to-hives-to noshing. Carmel may have no actual street addresses, but our passionate, energetic and expert Tour Chief, Staci, knows all of the treasures of this amazing village, and she connected us to the magical passageways and courtyards. Staci's focus is all about the customer experience at the intersection of food and culture. This tour is a great way to spoil yourself and savor an upscale spin of a real gem.
