Music scene · Carmel Valley Village

Carmel Valley Village is an unincorporated community in Monterey County, known for wineries and rustic charm. Local sound comes from acoustic acts at tasting rooms, church services, school programs, and community festival stages. Monterey and Salinas musicians sometimes drive inland.

Music is often heard at winery tasting rooms, local restaurants, the community center, church fellowship halls, and park pavilions during village festivals. There is no large venue, so performances stay intimate.

Local and regional artists perform here, with musicians from the nearby Monterey and Salinas scene occasionally passing through.

Artists should approach local tasting rooms and restaurants about acoustic sets, join community music groups, connect with the regional arts council, and look to Monterey and Salinas for additional performance opportunities.
