Overview

Stroll Monterey’s iconic Cannery Row — tasting local favorites and uncovering the stories behind them — with a toast to Monterey Bay along the way.

You'll meander through Cannery Row’s historic blocks, learn little-known stories of John Steinbeck and Ed Ricketts, and uncover fascinating glimpses into the area's past — from bustling sardine canneries to today’s vibrant marine life and kelp forests.

Along the way, enjoy a curated lineup of tastings — from savory seafood to decadent sweets — at locally loved eateries that reflect the culture, history, and soul of the Central Coast. You'll even raise a glass with a special toast to Monterey Bay.

Whether you're a foodie, a history lover, or simply looking for a unique way to experience Monterey, this tour blends coastal charm, local culture, and unforgettable bites — all in one scenic afternoon.
