Again, like the drive to Big Sur - it's a great trip, rolling through the country in the sun, you'll drive through an area with vineyards, horse ranches, nice homes, clean country air, old barns all the way to Carmel Valley Village. Park and walk through the village. Check out shops and lots of wine tasting rooms!
