More Than a Happy Hour: Complimentary Wine & Cheese at Horizon Inn

 

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.

A Few Changes, Same Great Hospitality
A Few Changes, Same Great Hospitality

For our repeat guests who remember the days of COVID, you might recall a very different happy hour. Buffet-style service was no longer an option, so we adapted with pre-portioned plates and wine served through the back of our kitchen. Cleanliness and guest safety remained a priority, but as times changed, so did our happy hour.

Today, we're happy to welcome guests back to help themselves to our wide variety of wine, cheese, and other goodies. It's a simple change that makes the experience feel a little more relaxed, just the way happy hour should be.

Why Folktale Winery?

Have you tried it yet?

We proudly feature local wines from Folktale Winery & Vineyard, giving our guests a taste of what makes the Monterey Peninsula such a special place. Supporting local businesses is something we genuinely enjoy, and we're always happy to share the products of our local neighbors with the people visiting our area.

Pair your wine with a selection of cheese, fruit, and other bites, and you've got yourself a pretty good start to the evening.

Where to Enjoy Your Happy Hour

Sometimes, all you need after a day exploring Carmel-by-the-Sea is a comfortable place to sit back and relax.

Our office lobby offers a laid-back atmosphere where you can enjoy a glass of wine, have a conversation, or simply take a break from the day.

Looking for something with a little more atmosphere? Head out to our courtyard, where you can enjoy your wine and cheese alongside the jacuzzi, fire pit, and fireplace. These amenities are open daily, making the courtyard a great place to unwind and enjoy the evening.

Whether you're catching up with friends, spending time with your significant other, or enjoying a solo getaway, there's a spot waiting for you.

Want a Little More? Try Our Harvest Package

If a glass of wine and cheese in the courtyard sounds good, why not bring the experience into your room?

Our Harvest Package lets you choose your preferred wine, delivered to your room alongside a plate of crackers, grapes, and cheese. It's a great way to celebrate a special occasion, surprise someone you love, or simply treat yourself during your stay.

Sometimes, the best part of a getaway is having everything you need without having to leave your room.

What Sets Our Happy Hour Apart?
What Sets Our Happy Hour Apart?

It's the little things that can make a hotel stay memorable. At Horizon Inn, our complimentary happy hour is available daily from 4–6 PM, giving guests a chance to relax, enjoy quality local wine, and snack on something delicious without adding another expense to their trip.

Between our rotating selection of Folktale wines, the cheese and fruit, and the option to enjoy it all in our courtyard, we think it's a pretty great way to spend an afternoon in Carmel.

And that's the point. We want you to enjoy more than just a room. We want you to have a place to unwind, a reason to slow down, and a few extra touches that make your stay feel special.

So next time you're staying with us, stop by between 4 and 6 PM. Your wine glass is waiting.
