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 friend and I had a great time meeting new people and tasting some of the best in Carmel! It started out with sun but by the middle of our walking tour we had pouring rain! But in Tracy's capable hands, and her observer-assistant, Bonnie, we continued to enjoy the tour through tastings of Kobe beef with rosé, local honey, pulled pork sliders and beer, fish (halibut!) and chips with more beer, olive oil and balsamic vinegar, tiramisu, and chocolates. What a tour! Everything was delicious, each taste a winner. In addition to the food and beverage, Tracy gave us mini lessons on art, architecture, and history of Carmel. We loved Carmel before the tour but now we have an 'inside' look and appreciate it even more! Thank you so much, Tracy, for leading us on this wonderful tour. I will be recommending and even bringing friends on this tour in the future.
