Salute to California Writer John Steinbeck Tour

cannery_row If you love or are curious about John Steinbeck, one of America's greatest writers, you will want to experience the fascinating National Steinbeck Center in his hometown of Salinas. You may want to lunch in the house of his youth. We offer to connect you with a local expert on the Salinas Valley, the remarkable agri-business powerhouse and setting for The Grapes of Wrath. You may want to top off the day with wine tasting in the beautiful Carmel Highlands region. If you'd like to, we can visit Cannery Row as well, and look around Pacific Grove, famous haunt of the monarch butterfly—because Steinbeck hung out there too. So it's a literary adventure, and learning about where your food comes from, magnificent scenery and charming towns… East of Eden.
