    Kate Spade was my favorite spot. It had lots of beautiful purses at discounted prices. Ely helped me find a perfect purse for my daughter. Her kindness made my experience even better.

    Satori is in a wide open country setting with plenty of tables and seating, as well as umbrellas for our sunny days. You can bring in your basket of lunch or snacks. Family friendly, dog friendly, with great hosts (owners.). There’s often live music playing and you may find one of their sweet pooches joining you, hoping you’ll give them just a taste of your snacks.

    One of the most welcoming, warm and unpretentious winery and winemakers alike. Wine beautifully represents land and terroir. Kids and pet friendly, quaint and relaxing. Dan and Therese are knowledgeable, dedicated and very welcoming people. Highly recommend!

    We needed to drive back to Sacramento from Capitola, but we didn’t want to go through San Jose. I was looking on the map for attractions on the highway and found the Hecker Winery. It just so happens that they are celebrating their 50th anniversary this year. There is a lovely area to sit and sip under grape vines. So beautiful! We found several wines to send home. It’s well worth stopping by.

    Small park with a very short but pretty walk by the creek. Great display of native American life in the bay area with very high quality exhibits. Plan to spend 30 - 60 minutes, unless you also bring a picnic. Tables in the shade. Nice job, Santa Clara County Parks!

    Prepare to enjoy a laid back atmosphere amongst friendly staff. You can sit under a cherry tree or out on the deck facing the picturous hills. Bring a pinic lunch & sip away. I like their rosés, pinot or savinguion blanc. It's a small winery & very casual with low tasting fees.

    Aver Family Vineyards is an awesome FAMILY experience! Their wines are great tasting and mature well in our home cellar. We have been members of their Matriarch Club for over six years and Carolyn and John have provided us with several exquisite opportunities ranging from cooking classes at their home to on-line with Truffle Shuffle (a truly amazing experience!) We have enjoyed one River Cruise on the AMA Aver (with over 100 members) through the Bordeaux Region of France and look forward to another next year in Portugal on the Douro River.
    When you stop by for tasting you find a warm, friendly atmosphere in a beautiful country setting. Your experience always includes knowledgeable discussion of all manner of wine production. Their weekend wine tasting includes great local entertainment.
    We are frequent visitors to this great place to taste John's passion for Rhone region Fruits of the Vine and the camaraderie with the many Friends of the Family.

    My husband grew up in Gilroy and his dad has been involved in the Garlic Festival for many years. This year we volunteered too. It was a lot of fun and the food is always delicious. They have a variety of live music on the 3 stages, there's something for everyone. The park is large and the event is organized well.

    we had such a great time at harvey bear, There is a very nice lake. We love seeing the wildlife. this time we saw lots of pigs (including 10 little pigs and their mom). he area one can do.

    There is good places for camping and picnics. Also, its s fun lake to go fishing at,

    There is lots of hiking in the area.

    This is somewhat off the beaten track so its a good place to be so near the city but feel so far away,

    We had a very good time.
