Sponsors & Partners
Sponsors help make Monterey Bay Tango Marathon more welcoming, more beautiful, and more accessible—supporting music, space, and the experiences that turn a weekend into a memory. Thank you for investing in tango and community.
Carmel Plaza
Our outdoor milonga will be held at Carmel Plaza, graciously hosting us as one of our local partners. Set in the heart of Carmel-by-the-Sea, the plaza offers a relaxed yet elegant environment with boutiques, restaurants, and wine tasting rooms, and is known for regularly hosting community events throughout the year.
Princess Monterey
Whale Watching
Monterey Bay is one of the top whale-watching destinations in the world, and Princess Monterey Whale Watching is known for unforgettable whale encounters. The rich marine ecosystem and deep submarine canyon create ideal conditions for observing whales in their natural habitat. This is one of the best seasons to experience it.
A special discount will be available for tango marathon participants. More details to follow.
We’re happy to partner with Galante Family Winery, one of Carmel’s most iconic local wineries, known for its bold wines and deep roots in the rugged landscape of Monterey County.
With a legacy that traces back to the early days of Carmel-by-the-Sea, Galante Family Winery embodies the spirit of the American West—where tradition, craftsmanship, and a deep connection to the land come together. From its origins as a working cattle ranch in Carmel Valley to the creation of ultra-premium estate wines, Galante reflects a philosophy shaped by authenticity, independence, and attention to detail.
Sourcing grapes from the steep, sun-drenched hills of Carmel Valley as well as select vineyards across California, Galante wines are known for their structure, intensity, and character—true expressions of the land they come from. Sustainable farming practices and hands-on vineyard management ensure quality in every bottle.
During the marathon weekend, participants will be invited to enjoy a special offer at the Galante tasting room in Carmel-by-the-Sea: two wine tasting flights for the price of one (with the purchase of a bottle) when mentioning the code “Tango.”
We look forward to sharing this bold and authentic local experience with our guests as part of our Monterey tango journey.
Old Fisherman’s Grotto
Old Fisherman’s Grotto is a beloved Monterey landmark, known for its fresh seafood, warm hospitality, and beautiful views of the harbor.
