Right off the coast in the romantic seaside town of Carmel is a 500-acre property in California’s Santa Lucia Mountains known as Carmel Valley Ranch. Despite the sprawling golf course, all-suite accommodations and luxurious spa, the resort’s farm is a popular stand-alone attraction.

Today you will enjoy a number of farmstead experiences, including a signature bee harvest session, where you will taste the sweet nectar fresh from the honeycomb produced by 60,000 onsite honeybees. Sample local artisan cheeses sourced right from the property and sip the wine produced from the property’s vineyards. Today’s excursion is a perfect balance of fun and education.
