Tour of Filoli House and Garden 10 AM - noon
This is a two-hour docent–led tour through both the House and Garden.

Located 30 miles south of San Francisco, Filoli is an historic site of the National Trust for Historic Preservation and one of the finest remaining country estates of the early 20th century. Filoli welcomes the public to this remarkable 654-acre property, including the 36,000 square foot Georgian country house and spectacular 16-acre English Renaissance garden.

We'll have lunch in the Filoli cafe after the tour. Sample menu: http://www.filoli.org...

Please pay $13.00 via PayPal or check to reserve your spot in the meetup. If you would like to pay by check, e-mail me for my address.

Be prepared: Sandals are not recommended, sturdy closed-toe shoes would be better. Some of the terrain is uneven on dirt trails. Layered clothing is usually best, as it can be cool in the mornings here, but after walking a bit you may get warm. Lastly, you might want sunscreen, although most of the hike is shaded.

Directions to Filoli: http://www.filoli.org...

Parking for cars and bicycles is conveniently located near the Visitor and Education Center. There is no charge for parking. Bicyclists are welcome and parking is available adjacent to the parking lot. Bicycles are only allowed in the parking lot and not in the House, Garden, or on Nature Trails.

Feel free to use the new carpooling message board to make arrangements for carpooling.

    •  Despite the heat, it was an enjoyable tour of a beautiful estate. And I finally know how to pronounce Filoli properly since it is a shortened version of "Fight, Love, Live." 
    •  The house and gardens are wonderful. The tour was a little long and tended to drag in spots, but overall pretty interesting. It was really hot! so the garden part was kind of exhausting since your in and out of the shade throughout. Interesting facts about the families that lived in the house and their lives. Overall, well worth the time and money.
