Carmel Wine and Wandering Tours

“Toby generously shares his love of Carmel and wine in this fun walking tour. The wine tasting experience is more interactive and informative than average experiences; and learning about some of Carmel's quirks and history makes for an afternoon to remember.”

“What a wonderful time. Toby took us on a marvelous tour of Carmel by the sea. Not only did we experience tasty wines, we were introduced and engaged with the owners of these establishments. We were given historical accounts of the tasting rooms as well as the area itself. Toby was a plethora of information from the founder of the town to the architecture to the best place to have breakfast, lunch, and dinner (and even help with reservations). This is a must when visiting. P.S. You didn't hear this from me, bu, he may be the unofficial mayor-he literally knows everyone. 😊”

“If you are wondering if you should take this your…DO IT! Toby is one of the best tour guides I’ve ever had. He was knowledgeable, fun, spunky, and everyone in town knew him. It was like walking with a celebrity:) This tour is everything I could have hoped for and more. Thanks for a wonderful experience for my me, my wife, and our kiddos!”

“Toby took us for our tour about a week ago and we truly had a great time. He was very welcoming and knowledgeable about wine and growing grapes in the area. My favorite part was the local history lessons along the way. Toby seems to be well known around town, it was like walking with a local celebrity. It was overall a great experience. We had a lot of laughs together. I would definitely recommend trying this tour no matter if you’re visiting town, new to the area or just looking for a fun afternoon activity.”

“Our group’s afternoon tour and wine tasting with Toby was one of the highlights of our trip! He is so personable and gives you so many insights into the quaint town of Carmel By the Sea. We will definitely do another tour when we are back again!”
