Carmel Valley Catering — Local Flavors, Perfectly Presented

Where food, people, and place come together

Who We Are

At MIRTH, we believe that great food has a way of drawing folks together. You’ll find us right in Carmel Valley Village, the sweet spot of the valley, surrounded by vineyards, art galleries, and the sunny mountain view you only get around here. If you’re traveling in from Highway 1 or 68, just head south on Carmel Valley Road and then turn right onto Center Street, and you’ll be here in no time. We’re neighbors to the historic Carmel Valley Market and just up the road from the cozy tasting rooms that dot the village. At MIRTH, we bring our spirit to the table with relaxed full-service catering, easy drop-off and pickup catering, fun pop-ups, and grab-and-go delights. You’ll also find MIRTH goods, thoughtful kitchen and home items, ready to pick up whenever you visit, all inspired by the simple beauty of Carmel Valley life. Whether you’re hosting a get-together near the Village’s little green park or planning something special out by Bernardus Lodge, we’re here to share the local magic and all the things that make MIRTH one-of-a-kind. Come say hello, stay awhile, and let’s make every meal a reason to gather.
