Join us for an unforgettable journey sampling wine in the alluring beauty of Carmel Valley aboard “Hattie the Magnificent Trolley”.

We rendezvous at historic Portola Plaza-Downtown Monterey at 10:45 AM for the 11:00 AM tour and whisk you to Ventana Vineyards for tastings and a bit of wine appreciation.

We then travel over the Salinas Mountains for inspiring vistas as we descend into Carmel Valley. We'll have many opportunities for tasting the region's finest wines at the many tasting rooms in the Carmel Valley Village including: Talbott Vineyards, Bernardus Vineyards, Parsonage Vineyards, Joyce Vineyards, Chateau Sinnet, Carmel Hills Winery, Heller Estate Organic Vineyards, Chock Rock Vineyards, Holman Ranch Vineyards, Chesebro Wines and Boekenoogen Winery.

Our tour guide offers an insider's perspective on the well-known producers and provides an introduction to the lesser known gems that call Carmel Valley home.

Our last stop is Mid Valley where we can visit Boete Winery or Chateau Julien.

You will then be returned to Portola Plaza with all the wonderful memories, new friends and wines you have collected.

 

We may use a 15 passenger VAN instead of the Trolley during times of bad weather or with total daily participation of eight passengers or less. We must have at least 4 total daily participants to conduct a tour. No food is permitted on our vehicles other than the Box Lunches or Cheese Platters provided by Tours Monterey.
