If Netflix's East of Eden has you curious about the Salinas Valley, we'd love to show you the place we call home.

Our agricultural roots still run deep here — many of our growers come from multi-generational farming families who still work this land today.

Our version of going out: w**e, cheese and spending the afternoon at a w**ery. That's the whole plan.

Monterey W**e Country has 4 trails to choose from, so there's more than one way to spend the day.

Wherever you pick, it's hard to go wrong.

What's on the menu when you're w**e tasting in Monterey W**e Country? More than you'd think.

Cheese boards, a food truck parked right outside, even a pizza night at one stop — these w**eries know a good glass deserves something delicious with it.

Save this for your next w**e tasting trip.

This is where your glass of w**e's story starts, right here, during harvest.

Early mornings, hands in the vineyard, and a hundred small decisions shape what eventually ends up in your glass.

Before the glass, there was this.

Every bottle starts long before anyone pours it.

This is harvest in the Santa Lucia Highlands.

This is where that story begins.

Four w**e trails, each with its own pace. However you like to spend a weekend, there's a trail for it.

One pass. Three tastings. Explore Monterey W**e Country your way.

Take the scenic route down River Road through the Santa Lucia Highlands, spend a sun-soaked afternoon in Carmel Valley, or stroll through Carmel-by-the-Sea. Same w**e country, completely different days.

Introducing the Monterey Pour Pass — three tastings at three participating w**eries, all with one pass.

Here's how it works: grab your pass online and get a QR code right away. Pick any three participating tasting rooms — and visit them all in a weekend, or spread them out over 60 days.

Show your code and enjoy your complimentary tasting. Then do it all again at your next w**ery.

Must be 21+ to purchase and participate. Please enjoy responsibly.

Harvest update, unfiltered. No script, just an honest look at what harvest looks like so far in the Santa Lucia Highlands.

This year's harvest started early, but the wind and cool summer temperatures have kept ripening slow and steady.

Growers Adam Franscioni (Roar W**es) and Steve McIntyre (McIntyre Family W**es) walked us through what the growing season has meant for the fruit so far. W**emakers Adam Lee (Clarice W**e Company) and Morét Chavez (Morét-Brealynn W**es) took it from vineyard to cellar.

Here for the cars? Stay for the w**e. Local and just want to skip the crowds? We've got a spot for that too.

Car Week brings the crowds to the Monterey Peninsula — and Monterey W**e Country gives you a reason to stick around a little longer.

Four w**e trails, four completely different vibes, all within reach of the action. Which trail are you starting with?

However you explore, we recommend planning for a designated driver or a rideshare.

Discover all four w**e trails.
