Morning hike in November. The much needed rain at the end of October has had an effect...fresh shoots of green grass are making an appearance along the shaded trails.

Learn more about Carmel Valley

Swirl a glass of Pinot Noir at intimate tasting rooms where winemakers pour their creations with personal stories attached. Los Padres National Forest offers hiking trails where coastal fog gives way to sunshine just a few miles inland. Garland Ranch Regional Park rewards moderate climbs with valley panoramas that explain why artists have flocked here for generations. Golf courses nestle between oak-studded hills, their fairways following natural contours rather than bulldozed perfection. After wine tasting at Bernardus or Joullian Vineyards, browse the village's galleries where local artists capture the golden California light. The relaxed pace feels worlds away from nearby Carmel-by-the-Sea, though locals shuttle between both with the casual frequency of people visiting neighbors.
