Tips from the community

Located just south of  Silicon Valley, Gilroy, California is known as the “Garlic Capital of the World.” This hugely underrated US city is home to more than 30 wineries and tasting rooms along the Santa Clara Valley Wine Trail. There is lots to see and do, including visiting a full-size replica of the Wright Flyer at the Wings of History Air Museum, admiring massive redwoods at Mt. Madonna County Park, and seeing the “Circus Trees” at Gilroy Gardens: living sculptures originally grafted and shaped by horticulturalist Axel Erlandson in the 1920s. From garlic adventures to outlet shopping to fine dining, Gilroy has it all.  Get more ideas from visit_gilroy on
