Quail’s Nest Cafe - Woodside

In short: Holiday evenings at the end of November is a great way to enjoy the autumn colors and a fall sunset before pampering in the decorated garden. Expect to stay 70 90 minutes. Lang: From the end of November the interior is still open. If you enjoy the aesthetics of the old Americana, this is a great place to look into the past. However, if you arrive 15 minutes after 4PM for the evening round, you will find a 30 45-minute queue. At the end of November is an ideal time to see the brilliant Auburn of autumn. The sun sets at 4:30 5:00, so there is a little less than an hour for you to enjoy the gardens in the light of sunset. Since it is the evening, the path is closed, but in its place you can enjoy the garden in various decorations. There are fire pits and two wine bars for groups who want lounge. A warm cinnamon whiskey hour is a good way to start the night. If you try to avoid the masses, I would recommend coming at 6:00. Enough of the first visitors will have left until then and you will enjoy some places yourself. Of course, you also have the sunset and some of the autumn colors in vain compared to the green.

One of my favorite places to go, every season. Make sure to go in spring when the cherry blossoms, daffodils and magnolias are full of bloom! And check out the gift shop for her cedar, vinegar and apple owners from fruit from the estate.

Filoli was a consistent bright spot through this long year of pandemic. I never have as much value from an annual pass as I have this year. While Filoli is expensive for an individual visit when you join or go volunteer and regularly observe the seasons change the gardens will attract you peace, tranquility and definitely great value for your money.

Family visit to Fioli for the holiday light. Every turn was more beautiful than the next. A new tradition for our family. Plan further back with my treasure for a walk in the gardens

My grand-daughters and I walked all over the gardens and Estate Trail after school. We enjoyed the beautiful, sunny weather, with very few people. It was a glorious and a really fun day. It was the best time to come to Filoli Gardens. My grand-daughters had lots of questions that were answered by the friendly and helpful staff.
