Did you know Carmel Plaza has live music, food and wine on Fridays for their Summer Live Music series?
Every Friday night in July, Carmel Plaza has a live local band performing, along with wine from a local winery and food from a local restaurant. (Full disclosure: this experience was provided to me at no cost, but all opinions and reviews are my own.)
I went to check it out on Friday July 8. Fast Times, a local 80s-90s cover band, was performing and Wrath Wines was the featured winery with bites from The Forge Restaurant.
I had a glass of the Pommard 4/777 Pinot Noir, the EX Syrah and Spaghetti with a giant meatball. It was fun to take in the live music and all of the energy, the plaza was packed!
The event itself is free to attend and food and beverage package is available for $25 which includes includes two drink tickets, one food ticket, a raffle ticket.
Each week also features a non-profit partner and this week it was Meals on Wheels Salinas and Meals on Wheels Monterey. $5 from each food and beverage package purchased goes to the featured non-profit partner.
