Spring bloom in the Sunken Garden at Filoli

Recognized as one of the finest remaining country estates of the early 20th century, Filoli welcomes the public to this remarkable 654-acre property in Woodside, including the 36,000 square-foot Georgian country house and spectacular 16-acre English Renaissance garden.

We will be taking the two-hour house and garden tour, which starts at 11:30am. We hope things will be in full bloom by our tour date, but the house and grounds are always spectacular.
