Fun Local Wine Experiences

In addition to visiting wineries and tasting rooms directly, there are a number of other fun experiences to be had in the Monterey area.  I recognize during the pandemic, many of these experiences may be closed or operating differently.  As I learn exact status, I will attempt to keep this updated.  If you know of others, please add in a comment!

A Taste of Monterey at 700 Cannery Row in Monterey is normally a great place to sample a wide variety of Monterey and Central Coast wines without trekking to all the tasting rooms.  They have a nice food menu for pairing with wines.  They also have a membership and sales options. As of this posting, they are only doing takeout. https://www.atasteofmonterey.com/

The Wine Experience at 381 Cannery Row in Monterey is another great place to taste Monterey and Central Coast wines – plus a fun experience to blend your own wines.  Right now they are offering outdoor dining and takeout available.  http://wineexperience.org/

Wine Trolley can take you from Monterey out to Carmel Valley for wine tasting – a fun and easy way to explore Monterey wines starting at $125 per person – includes transportation, a guide, tasting at several wineries, and lunch.  Great orientation with lots of good wine at some of my favorite spots.  Make a reservation here:  http://www.toursmonterey.com/

Cane and Spur offers small group or private tours to local wineries with a very knowledgeable guide who stays with you throughout your trip.  You obtain more information and can make a reservation here: http://www.caneandspur.com/
