Honey Festival · June 7–8, 2030 · Monterey, California
The fog-cooled, ocean-influenced coastal scrub and chaparral of the Monterey Peninsula and Carmel Valley supports one of California's most distinctive honey terroirs — where native coastal wildflowers, sea lavender, sage, sticky monkeyflower, and buckwheat thrive in the unique Mediterranean-maritime climate. This annual festival on the Monterey waterfront celebrates Central Coast honey producers from Big Sur to the Santa Cruz Mountains, featuring guided tastings of rare coastal varietals, apiary tours at organic farms in the Carmel Valley, native plant pollinator garden walks, and pairings with Monterey's legendary seafood and artisan cheeses.
