Salinas Valley Chamber of Commerce
 The Salinas Valley is perfectly situated 120 miles South of San Francisco, 55 miles South of San Jose and 320 miles North of Los Angeles. The long Valley expands from the Monterey Bay along Highway 101 and thousands of acres of agricultural land between the phenomenal Santa Lucia and Gabilan Mountain Ranges. Several towns inhabit this lush valley; Castroville, Salinas, Chualar, Gonzales, Soledad, Greenfield and King City all thrive here. Residents and visitors enjoy extremely mild temperatures year round and the luxury of being in close proximity to a beautiful coastline.
This picturesque valley is speckled with hundreds of growers, shippers, wineries and thousands of other businesses that support the vitality of active communities. The Salinas Valley Chamber of Commerce supports and promotes these diverse businesses and our communities through networking, education and advocacy. How may we help you?
