Looking for something to do? If you’re quarantined in the Monterey Bay, you may feel luckier than some, but that doesn’t always make the hours go by any quicker. Here’s a list of six essentials we all need to help us get through these trying times.
Read MoreDo you ever walk into a store or a restaurant and recognize a brand you weren’t sure anyone else had ever heard of? That’s how we feel when we find our tour partners showing up in different restaurants, or, even better, working together! The hospitality industry in Monterey Bay is one of the biggest around, and our community loves supporting local businesses. Keep reading to see some of our favorite collaborations!
Read MoreMonterey Bay has a rich history with our military. From the use of Fort Ord as an Army base from World War II to the mid 90s, to the Naval Postgraduate School located on the historic Hotel Del Monte property, and the Defense Language Institute on the Presidio overlooking the bay, it’s only fitting that local businesses offer discounts to our active duty service members. Here’s a few of our favorite choices.

Fortunately, for those living in or visiting the Monterey Bay, we’re a pretty dog-friendly community with almost too many options to choose from! If you’re on the hunt for food, wine, beer, or even ice cream, here’s a few notable dog-friendly locations you should totally check out!

We’ve learned so much from our partners about the behind-the-scenes production of their wholesale products — like the process of making wine from Comanche Cellars — and we wanted to highlight some of the products and back-of-the-house work from another of our favorite partners.
Read MoreIf you’ve ever been on our Old Monterey Food Tour, or tried out the Something Wild Mindful Food Tour, you’ll be familiar with our last tasting of the day — Comanche Cellars. As lovers of wine ourselves, we admit that we never thought too much about wine production, so when the owner of Comanche, Michael Simons, invited us to join him for this year’s bottling session, we had no idea what we were getting ourselves into.
Read MoreIf you know anything about us at the Monterey Bay Food Tours, you’ll know we love wine! And hey, when you live in wine country, who can blame you? Whether you’re a Monterey local or visiting the area, check out these local wineries. We promise you won’t regret it!
Read MoreMonterey Bay Food Tours and Monterey Bay Meditation Studio have something wild in store for you…
Experience… all of your senses.
Reflect… on your surroundings.
Grow… your inner knowledge.
When it comes to eating, most of us don’t spend time in a period of meditation beforehand — in fact, the idea is wild to some.
