What to do and see in San Jose, California (CA): The Best Food & Drink
Welcome to bustling San Jose, where Silicon Valley meets Spanish history and modern edifices sit alongside meticulously restored 19th-century buildings. Such is the contrast of this city rich in tradition and, thanks to the tech industry, just plain rich. Five star-hotels and fine restaurants line the streets of the restored downtown area, and the cultural scene is thriving with museums, theater and art to rival any world-class hub. Don't miss the Tech Museum of Innovation, an exploration of Silicon Valley and its impact on the area. History buffs will relish the old mansions and can delve into the city's past at the History Museum of San Jose. Save time for a round of golf or the locals' other favorite pastime, sipping coffee and people-watching at a crowded cafe.

You won’t find the vineyards here, but you can try all their great wines within a charming atmosphere. Ask for Mike...he’s a fixture and full of stories and knowledge of the wines, the regions, and just makes the experience so much better. Then take some wine home with you! Enjoy.
