🌶️ Full glasses. Bold flavors. A courtyard full of people who know how to celebrate. ¡Viva la Fiesta!

Taste of Carmel’s Fiesta at the Mission was one delicious reminder of what happens when good food, good wine, and good people come together. 🍷💃

To our restaurants, wineries, and craft beverage makers: thank you for feeding us, pouring generously, and bringing your passion to every bite and sip. Behind every taste was someone who cares deeply about their craft. And it showed. 👏

🥂 A huge thank-you to Stoddard Construction, our Glass Sponsor, and La Playa Hotel, our VIP Lounge Sponsor, for helping us celebrate in style.

Our gratitude also goes to Land Rover Monterey, Mechanics Bank, Monterey County Bank, Cypress Inn, Carmel Plaza, Poptopia Balloons, GreenWaste Recovery, and Sysco for supporting this unforgettable evening.

✨ To Glastonbury Audio Visual for bringing the sound and light, and Illusions Decor for bringing the fiesta to life—thank you!

⛪ To the Carmel Mission Basilica: what a setting. Thank you for welcoming us into your beautiful courtyard.

🎶 To Scarlet: you kept us dancing. We’re still feeling it.

And most of all, to our community and supporters—our guests, volunteers, neighbors, and friends—GRACIAS. You showed up hungry, raised your glasses, and showed your love for the local businesses that give this place its flavor. ❤️

📸 Thank you to Michael Troutman @dmt_imaging and Manny Espinoza @carmelsphotographer for capturing the evening with these photos.
