Downtown Carmel-by-the-Sea still belongs to its artists. The 7th annual Art & Wine Walk starts at Devendorf Park and winds through galleries owned by the painters, sculptors and makers carrying on the village’s artist colony legacy.

Blue lanterns mark participating stops, and an online map lets you build your own route. Along the way, taste Monterey County wines and beers alongside food from local kitchens, with the artists themselves in the room to talk about the work.
