Overview

Monterey offers a variety of local flavors in its historic downtown district. This guided walking tour lasts about three and a half hours and includes five food and drink tastings. Participants meet the guide in front of Old Fisherman's Wharf to begin the tour. The first stop features small bites served in a historic venue. The walk continues through Alvarado Street and lesser-known downtown Monterey streets popular with locals. Along the way, the group samples dishes ranging from traditional Indian and Greek cuisine to local cider, pasta at a gastropub, and deep dish pizza. An artisan ice cream shop is next, where guests can taste handcrafted ice cream and see the kitchen. The route passes several historic Monterey buildings, including some of California's earliest landmarks, while the guide shares stories about the area's history and culture. The final stop offers local wine paired with regional cheese. After this, the tour concludes, but guests may stay at the last location if they wish. The tour includes a local guide, gratuities at all food and drink stops, alcoholic beverages including wine, beer, and hard cider tastings, lunch, and all food tastings. A moderate walk of about 1.5 to 2 miles is required. Guests should dress for changing weather conditions on the Monterey Peninsula.
