Bay Area & Silicon Valley Corporate Offsites

Since 2012, Carmel Food Tours has hosted Bay Area and Silicon Valley corporate groups looking for an offsite that doesn't feel like an offsite. Just 2 hours from San Francisco and 90 minutes from San Jose, Carmel-by-the-Sea offers the perfect mix of world-class food, coastal charm, and team-building experiences — no flights, no hotels required. Unlike a typical resort offsite, Carmel itself is the activity: a walkable village where exceptional food, local history, and coastal beauty do the work of bringing people together naturally. Whether you're planning an intimate leadership retreat or an energetic group event for 100+, Carmel Food Tours has a curated experience for your team. Beyond our 5-star food tours, we offer a guided wine tasting afternoon, a scavenger hunt with both destination missions and creative challenges, and a Curated Carmel experience that is more customizable and geared toward high-touch executive experiences. Not sure which is right for your group? We'll help you find the perfect fit.
