At Horizon Inn, our complimentary daily wine and cheese happy hour has gone through a few changes over the years, but one thing has stayed the same: giving our guests a little something extra to enjoy during their stay.
If you’ve ever wondered what Carmel-by-the-Sea culture really feels like beyond the galleries and ocean views, Boho Bites & Beats is one of those events that puts it all on display.
Set along Dolores Street and 6th, this 21+ street fair blends global flavors, live music, local art, and some of the best wine pours in town into one unforgettable evening. It’s part culinary crawl, part bohemian gathering, and part celebration of the creative spirit that makes Carmel what it is.
For the unaware, Culinary Week in Carmel-by-the-Sea is one of the most diverse and delicious celebrations of food and wine on the California coast. Spanning June 5th–13th, this immersive festival transforms the charming village into a culinary playground filled with renowned chefs, immersive dining experiences, craft cocktails, award-winning wines, and standout entertainment.
No matter which days you plan to visit, every event offers something memorable—and there isn't a better place to stay than Horizon Inn & Ocean View Lodge
Travel has a way of piling things on — long flights, traffic delays, last-minute plans, and the quiet chaos of getting out the door. Whatever brought you here, consider it officially behind you. Once you've checked in, there's nothing left to do but settle in.
Each afternoon from 4–6 pm, we invite our guests to enjoy our complimentary happy hour — a simple ritual designed to help you exhale, slow down, and ease into the rhythm of Carmel-by-the-Sea.
With over 60 restaurants just steps away, choosing the perfect date night spot in Carmel-by-the-Sea can be a challenge.
Luckily, Treehouse Café makes the decision easy.
When it comes to 7th & Dolores Steakhouse, it holds a very special place in my heart.
It's not because I've celebrated numerous birthdays here, nor because of the many team gatherings the Horizon Inn crew has enjoyed at this Carmel gem.
