    Ends 4/5


    Where to Dine
    When Restaurant 1833 opened in downtown Monterey, it instantly raised the city’s culinary reputation. Located in one of California’s oldest adobe buildings (hence the name, which honors the year in which the structure was built), it offers fresh, skillfully crafted cuisine and a wine list so extensive, it has been described as an auction catalog. The cocktail selection is easily the best on the Monterey Peninsula. The atmosphere is lively, crowded and happy, with most entrĂ©es coming in around or above $25.
    Where to Stay
    The chic Monterey Plaza Hotel & Spa is conveniently located on Cannery Row in the city of Monterey. Many rooms have expansive views of Monterey Bay (and sounds, too—the crashing of surf, the barking of harbor seals and sea lions).
    Where to Taste
    A Taste of Monterey on crowded Cannery Row features the offerings of over 85 local wineries in a tasting bar-type setting. It’s the perfect place to sample the best of Monterey, especially if you’re staying nearby and don’t want to drive. For individual winery visits, start with Morgan. The tasting room is in Carmel, and you can sample a wide range of reserve and regular Chardonnays, Pinot Noirs, Syrahs and other wines from this well-regarded producer.Talbott Vineyards offers some of the region’s most complex Chardonnays and Pinot Noirs at its location on the River Road Wine Trail, which winds scenically along the base of the Santa Lucia Mountains. Chalone Vineyards is a true pioneer in California Pinot Noir. Its tasting room is way up in the Gavilan Mountain Range, above Soledad, east of the 101 Freeway.
