The Market at Carmel Valley Ranch is a hub, a space to gather, discover, and taste that takes its inspiration from the bounty of the surrounding landscape. Here, the cheese comes from our very own goats and the honey is made just steps away in an apiary buzzing with activity. It’s all orchestrated by our artisans-in-residence—world-renowned gardener Mark Marino, Chris, our beekeeper, Sophie the Cheese Gal, and more—who host entertaining tastings and illuminating demonstrations. Curate a picnic basket with local products, grab an espresso, socialize over wine and beer, or sample hand-crafted treats grown and made on site—this is one market where nobody’s in a rush to check out.
