MONTEREY & CARMEL

Monterey is a scenic California coastal city that rises from the pristine Monterey Bay to pine forested hillsides with sweeping bay views. The city’s natural beauty and historic sites make it a quality residential community and premier tourist destination.  A small, liveable city that prides itself on being a clean and safe place to live, Monterey is known for its sense of community and hospitality. Monterey’s residents are culturally diverse, and the City’s designation as the “language capital of the world” reflects the language skills of its residents.  WCD is proud to offer the best of the best when it comes to event planning in Monterey & Carmel.

Ocean Kayaking in Monterey Bay

Edible Excursion

Edible Excursions’ explorations take place in neighborhoods where small business owners, artisans, purveyors, farmers, and restaurant chefs share their personal food stories and their passion for local, seasonal, sustainable eats.

 

And, of course, along with learning about each area’s culinary and cultural background, guests are treated to signature tastes from seven to nine different stops along the way.

Cycling & Electric Bike Tours

Explore the Monterey Peninsula, from Del Monte Beach to Pebble Beach on your choice of a beach cruiser, road bike or even an electric powered bicycle.

 

Monterey & Pebble Beach are amazing areas for biking adventures.  “These long beaches are enticing to the idle man. It would be hard to find a walk more solitary and at the same time more exciting to the mind.”  R.L. Stevenson.

Sail Monterey Bay

Guests will greet for departure at the docks where guests will have a hand’s on lesson on sailing in the Pacific Ocean with professional guidance.  All equipment is included.  This will include a picnic luncheon on board the sail-boat, bottled waters, soft drinks, beer and wine for the adults if requested.

 

Each guest will receive a sailing certificate of completion on the lesson of the day.  Return to the hotel in the afternoon.
