Live, Work and Play in Monterey

Looking for a good reason to make the move to Monterey County? Here's a few...

Morgan Winery, Bernardus Windery and Pierce Ranch Vineyards were recently recognized for their award-winning wines. Morgan Winery received a prestigious accolade for their 2009 Metallico Chardonnay in Wine Spectator's "Top 100 of 2011." SF Gate named 2010’s Bernardus Griva Vineyard Arroyo Seco Sauvignon Blanc and 2009’s Leojami Pierce Ranch Vineyard San Antonio Valley Grenache on their "Top 100 Wines of 2011."

Condé Nast Traveler readers gave high marks to Monterey County in the 2011 Readers' Choice Awards. Our beautiful city of Carmel once again took honors as one of the top ten cities in the United States.

L'Auberge Carmel

Big Sur and Carmel Valley also received recognition, appearing on the United States Top Hotel List with entries for Ventana Inn and Bernardus Lodge, while the Post Ranch Inn, L'Auberge Carmel, Hyatt Carmel Highlands and the Green Gables Inn all made the cut for the Top Small Hotels in the US. Carmel's own Mission Ranch was ranked as a favorite among the nation's Small Resorts and The Inn at Spanish Bay was ranked as one of the country's Top Resorts. And last, but not least, The Lodge at Pebble Beach was honored as one of the top 100 properties in the world!

The communities of Monterey County are a great place to visit...and an even better place to call home!
