A few steps away this georges home, (within walking distance) Carmel Valley, the quiet village 11 miles south of Carmel-by-the-Sea, boasts 19 wineries and tasting rooms, a healthy mix of iconic Monterey trailblazers (Talbott), new players (Mercy Vineyards) and established wineries looking for foot traffic (Marilyn Remark).
Everything on the lush, overgrown trail is within walking distance, but without the traffic and commercial presence of Carmel. This village is humble, and with vineyards nearby, the windy stretch of Carmel Valley Road that leads to the Cachagua Valley feels more like wine country. We spent a recent Sunday exploring the strip. Here's what stood out.
Georis Winery: The Georis family farms 28 acres of Bordeaux varietals in the upper Carmel Valley. They're known for European-style wines, with lower alcohol and less oak. Walter Georis, who owns Carmel's French-inspired cafe, La Bicyclette, as well as the popular Casanova, recruited winemaker Damien Georis (no relation) from Bordeaux when they realized they grew up in the same village in Belgium.
The sips: Damien's Bordeaux blend, La Chappelle, is exceptional. We also liked the rosé and barrel-fermented sauvignon blanc.scenic sand dunes at Spanish Bay, threading the towering pines of Spyglass Hill, or challenging the cliff-swept shoreline at Pebble Beach, a golf trip to Pebble Beach Resorts is full of lifetime golf memories at your finger tips.
So tee it up like Palmer and Player, Hagen and Hogan, Tiger and The Golden Bear, and play the golf trip of your dreams. Each February, come watch the Pro Am with the highest ranked professional players teamed up with some of the world's most famous actors, comedians and sports legends.
Take a 45 minute drive down one of the world's most spectacular scenic drives that hugs the rugged central coast (17-Mile Drive). Visit the The Lone Cypress, a Monterey cypress tree standing on a granite hillside off the 17-Mile Drive. The tree is a Western icon, and has been called one of the most photographed trees in North America. It is located between Cypress Point Golf Course and the Pebble Beach Golf Links. Possibly as old as 250 years, the cypress has been scarred by fire and has been held in place with cables for 65 years.The Monterey cypress grows naturally only in Pebble Beach and Point Lobos.
A drawing of the tree was registered as Pebble Beach Company's trademark in 1919. The company said the trademark protected not only the logo but also the tree itself.
Next, Located at the ocean's edge on historic Cannery Row, home of John Steinbeck , the Monterey Bay Aquarium is your window to marine life. Visit sea otters, penguins, sharks, jellies and thousands of other marine animals and plants. This is the most spectacular salt water aquarium on the planet.

The third week of August is when the best of the best compete to be crowned the most important automobile in the world. See celebrities and amazing one off cars worth tens of millions of dollars actually run and be judged.
Visit downtown Carmel which is full of amazing boutique shops, art galleries, antique stores and world renown restaurants.

It was founded in 1771 by Father Junipero Serra who is buried on the site along with many native American Indians who converted to Catholicism.

- "We came here for a wedding in Carmel and this property accommodated our family beautifully. It was spacious, well-appointed and very private, with gorgeous grounds. We will definitely rent this property again for a future family vacation!" - "We loved our stay at this property. We were celebrating a co-worker and playing golf through the weekend with several couples enjoying the property. The large kitchen and living room area were great for conversations and group meals after long golf days. The property manager Manuel was prompt with his responses to our questions and needs. The pool was not usable during our stay due to a pump and algae issue, but Manuel made sure we were taken care of. I would recommend checking with the property manager prior a future stay just to confirm everything is working correctly. Overall we were very happy."

Will most definitely try to stay here again." - "If I could I would really give this a 4.5 rating. This is my 2nd time renting the place. I love it. The house is a bit quirky but the beauty of the place makes it worth it. We had a couple of issues but Dominic, our customer service contact was the best. I would give Dominic a 10-star rating. A couple of things to be aware of, the house is dated. The beds are great. Easy to find. Hot tub amazing especially with the views. Saw whales in the distance. A mother whale and a baby fairly near the shore. Watched an otter enjoying his hunting for 4-days. The wild life is beautiful to watch. Amazing views from every window. If possible, will rent again."

This is a true villa on a 1 acre estate between Hwy 1 and the ocean. Carmel Highlands is located 5 minutes from downtown Carmel. Pebble Beach and the Aquarium are 15 minutes away. In the early 1900's, Carmel was largely an artists community. Many artists struggled, the successful lived in the Highlands. The Highlands is the beginning of Big Sur which continues on another 100 miles. The villa is rural yet it is not isolated, walk to the Highlands General Store, 5 minutes to dinner in downtown. Travel 1 minute south of the villa and the coastline changes dramatically. Many wonderful ocean views from the yard, porch and living room of the villa. Pt. Lobos State Reserve is very near for miles of hikes. You can explore forever.
The villa was built in 1953 and reconstructed in 2005. The reconstruction updated and remodeled the villa to bring back the feeling of old California such as the 250 year Mexican arches and the hand carved bedroom doors from the days of Junipero Serra. For rose lovers there are 150 rose bushes on the property. Come experience the magic of Carmel Highlands.
Perfect for family reunions and birthdays with it's four bedrooms, (2) king beds, (2) queen beds. There is a formal dining room for your family or an outside deck off the dining room with a custom table for 8. Wander the grounds and gardens of the level one acre estate and play volleyball on the back lawn if you like. Photo opportunities abound under the stone arches or the deck with the ocean and rock caves at Birdrock. Occasionally you will hear the sea lions bark, smell the ocean air, wander the many gardens with the Pacific in your backyard.The weather by the sea can best be described as two seasons of Spring and two seasons of Fall. It can be 110 degrees inland yet the temperature in the Highlands rarely exceeds 70 degrees.

You are vacationing green, the Villa has a Tesla Solar roof.
Four bedrooms, three full baths, accommodates up to 8.

The house is beautiful and unique with character throughout. Everything worked as anticipated and it was very clean, well maintained. A pleasure to stay there." - "This is a perfect property for a family holiday gathering. Point Lobos Reserve is nearby, beaches, and hiking trails.

The owner did send someone to fix them, but we ended up freezing in the house for the first night as it was very cold outside. That was really not ideal (to say the least) for my family. None of the technology or amenities in the house work. There is no tv, the internet only works in the kitchen and nowhere else in the house, and there is literally zero cell phone reception at the property, so unless you are in the kitchen you are completely cut off from communication. There is a hot tub on the premises but it is not usable for renters, there is a fire pit and fireplaces but no wood available. The house has radiant heat (when the heat is turned on) but no ability to regulate the temperature via a thermostat. The automatic gate also stopped working while we were there. All of this is just not acceptable at this price point."

Carmel-by-the-Sea is in an area permeated by Native American, Spanish, Mexican and American history. Most scholars believe that the Esselen-speaking people were the first Native Americans to inhabit the area of Carmel, but the Ohlone people pushed them south into the mountains of Big Sur around the 6th century.Carmel-by-the-Sea (/kɑːrˈmɛl/),[8] often simply called Carmel, is a city in Monterey County, California, United States, founded in 1902 and incorporated on October 31, 1916. Situated on the Monterey Peninsula, Carmel is known for its natural scenery and rich artistic history. In 1906, the San Francisco Call devoted a full page to the "artists, writers and poets at Carmel-by-the-Sea",[9] and in 1910 it reported that 60 percent of Carmel's houses were built by citizens who were "devoting their lives to work connected to the aesthetic arts." Early City Councils were dominated by artists, and several of the city's mayors have been poets or actors, including Herbert Heron, founder of the Forest Theater, bohemian writer and actor Perry Newberry, and actor-director Clint Eastwood, who served as mayor from 1986 to 1988.
Carmel-by-the-Sea is located on the Pacific coast, about 300 miles (480 km) north of Los Angeles and 100 miles (160 km) south of San Francisco. Communities near Carmel-by-the-Sea include Carmel Valley and Carmel Highlands. The larger town of Monterey borders Carmel to the north.

Tucked into the hills of Carmel Valley just a little more than 3 miles from the ocean, Tehama is an invitation-only 2,000 acre development by actor and resident Clint Eastwood that is arguably the most private and exclusive enclave in the Monterey Peninsula. Known for maintaining a unique balance of exquisite properties, open land, stunning views, and abundant wildlife, it is an experience only a select few get to share.
Renaître (French for “to be reborn”) is a 14,000 square foot secluded highland estate perched 900 feet high above the verdant hills, which exemplifies the term “world class” and is a resort unto itself. The 5 year old, master craftsman residence and guest cottage can accommodate up to 18 guests with its 7 bedrooms (the small upstairs study can be converted to an 8th bedroom) in unmatched style, comfort, and elegance. With the option to also have access to the live-in house manager and chef, Renaître is a luxury vacation destination literally and figuratively above the rest, offering myriad top-shelf amenities and proximity to local attractions, combined with a level of seclusion and privacy not often available elsewhere.
