Summary[edit]

Description

Welcome to Cannery Row, one of the most beautiful coastal areas in the country. Monterey visitors rank Cannery Row as their favorite spot on the Peninsula.

Immortalized by John Steinbeck’s classic novel, Cannery Row’s world-renowned heritage is found in the distinctive architecture that is reminiscent of earlier days. The cross-overs that used to carry sardines are now your path to a wealth of exciting shopping and dining experiences.

The Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary is one of our nation’s treasured underwater parks. Each of the 14 marine sanctuaries protects a special underwater or coastal environment. The Sanctuary extends an average of 35 miles offshore, covers over 5300 square miles, and possesses an astonishingly diverse array of marine life, including 26 species of marine mammals, 345 species of fish and 4 species of turtles.

Cannery Row is an ocean side playground filled with fun for everyone. Outdoor recreation abounds on land and in the water. Visitors are invited to explore the beauty of Monterey Bay’s rocky shores and marine life with kayaking, diving and tide pooling.

The lineup of restaurants on the Cannery Row includes award winners and who’s who in the world of culinary trends. You will find temptations for every craving with a collection of restaurants ranging from casual to gourmet.

Cannery Row has long been known as the place to go for distinctive souvenirs of the Monterey Peninsula. What has always remained constant on Cannery Row is the presence of small, independently owned stores, which carry items you are not likely to find anywhere else.

The history of Chateau Julien Wine Estate: In the late 1970's, Bob and Patty Brower set out to fulfill their dream. Originally from the East Coast, they had a passion for wine and admired the French hospitality encountered while traveling in Europe. They saw the potential in Monterey County as a quality wine growing region, and in 1982 began building what is now known as Château Julien Wine Estate in Carmel Valley, California.

The winery's first release came in 1985 with Chardonnay and Merlot from the 1982 vintage. Today, the entire process of wine production takes place on the 16-acre estate, including the aging of nearly 2000 oak barrels of wine. Winemaker Bill Anderson joined the Browers in 1982, and produced the winery's first 100% Merlot with the premier vintage. Bill continues to produce wine at Château Julien Wine Estate, and has played an integral part in establishing Merlot as the winery's flagship varietal.
