Carmel-by-the-Sea Classic Food Tour
Taste your way through Carmel-by-the-Sea on a three-hour guided walking tour with five tastings at local eateries and shops, plus the hidden gems, history, and architecture of the village. A favorite with couples, first-time visitors, and friends and family celebrating a birthday or anniversary. It pairs easily with a Monterey Peninsula trip to Pebble Beach or Big Sur, a Highway 1 road trip, or a weekend away from the Bay Area. Tours run most Fridays and Saturdays, with Mondays and Thursdays in busier months. With 900+ five-star reviews, we recommend booking ahead. Planning for a team or private group?

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.
Curated Carmel
Curated Carmel is our most premium private experience, blending the flavors of Carmel-by-the-Sea with the village's best independent shopping. Your group enjoys two tasting stops with food and beverage, then visits an upscale boutique we've matched to your group's tastes with your organizer, with an insider discount for your group. The experience wraps up at Big Little Boxes, where guests hand-pick local goods and have them packed and shipped home. Your private guide leads the way through hidden courtyards and passageways, sharing the history and architecture that make Carmel one of California's most beloved coastal villages. Along the way, local owners welcome your group personally, because we've worked alongside them since 2012. It's an easy choice for milestone celebrations, client hospitality and incentive groups. Planners and agencies can also present Curated Carmel under their own brand.
