Carmel Valley

Carmel Valley is a small village about twelve miles inland from the coast near Monterey and Carmel. You really feel like you're out in the country when you go there. The warmer climate provides a welcome escape from cold, foggy coastal weather in Carmel. But in summer, it can get too warm sometimes.

One place to stay is Carmel Valley Lodge.

As you are driving up the valley towards the village, along the way is Garland Regional Park, which is a great place to hike around.

The village has several nice restaurants, and there are a few very nice places to stay just outside of town. Local wineries have wine tasting rooms in the village, and there are a couple of wineries outside of town too.

The local wineries include Bernardus Vineyards and Winery, Chateau Julien Wine Estate, Galante Vineyards, Georis Winery, Heller Estate, Joullian Vineyards, San Saba Vineyards, and Talbott Vineyards.
