Things To Do
Refuge
This is a very special place to us. It's one of our favorite places to unwind and relax, and it is also the place where Hart proposed!!
Garland Ranch Regional Park
This place is very special to Beau! We take him hiking here as much as possible, and he has left his mark all over! It's a great place to hike and absolutely beautiful! Just watch out for the poison oak!
Monterey Bay Aquarium
The Monterey Bay Aquarium is known to be one of the best aquariums in the world! It is truly an awesome sight; the otter's are adorable and the jelly's are our favorite!
Fishermans Wharf
Hart took me here for the first time on Valentine's Day; it's a must do in Monterey. Go with an appetite, you can make a meal out of the clam chowder samples from each restaurant. Great sea lion watching!
Alvarado Street Brewery
Great beer and food!
Fieldwork Brewing Company
Mmmmm....Beer!
ROUX
Roux is one of our favorite restaurants in the Village! Amazing French Cuisine...If you can't make it for dinner, go for brunch! Mimosas and beignets!
The Corkscrew Cafe
More amazing food in the village! This is the first restaurant Hart took me to. Their pizza's are delectable, particularly the meyer lemon!
Carmel Beach
Gorgeous white sand beaches in one of the quirkiest villages in the United States. You can certainly spend a whole day in Carmel-by-the-Sea. It's a wonderful place for shopping, eating, and taking your doggo! We love Aw Shucks for oysters, and the Cheese shop in Carmel Plaza Shopping Center.
Talbott Vineyards
Wine tasting in the village is a must! Talbot is one of our favorites; we are wine club members. Bring some snacks and play bocce ball, and don't forget to ask about the Kali Hart wine!
Joyce Vineyards
Joyce is not only the location of our main event, but one of our favorite places to taste! They've recently opened the Wine House just next door. It's a wonderful place to order craft beers, wine, delicious bites, play bocce or cornhole!
