Things To Do
Café Rustica
Café Rustica has been a Lino family favorite for over 25 years. Just walking distance from the location of the Welcome Party, this would be a great place to grab a bite on Friday night before the welcome drinks! The restaurant has limited seating and we highly recommend calling ahead in advance for a reservation.
The Wine House
We make a trip to The Wine House almost every time we are in Carmel Valley and recommend that you do as well! A great place to sit outside, grab a beer or glass of wine, and enjoy some light bites in the heart of Carmel Valley Village. The Wine House is also in close proximity to both Contenta Inn and Hidden Valley Inn.
Pelio Estate
Pelio is a must visit while staying in Carmel Valley! Recently opened in 2023, the Pelio's have done a wonderful job capturing the charm of Carmel Valley but with a modern feel. Come here to enjoy wine tasting and some Carmel Valley charm.
Earthbound Farm Stand
Stop by Earthbound for a smoothie or a healthy bite on the go and to enjoy the Farm Shop & grounds.
Carmel Belle
A Carmel staple. Great for a healthy breakfast or lunch before shopping and walking around Downtown Carmel... Or grab a latte to go and take it for a nice walk along Scenic Ave.
Mission Ranch Restaurant
Mission Ranch is an iconic Carmel establishment. With beautiful views of Carmel River Beach and Point Lobos, it is a great place to grab a martini (or 2), people watch, and enjoy the scenery. Please keep in mind Mission Ranch is walk-in only.
