Spring flowers are in full bloom, making it the perfect time to visit Filoli! The gardens on this 654-acre estate offer a tranquil escape from your daily routine. Whether you want to take a stroll, enjoy a scenic picnic, or update your family pictures, Filoli has something for the whole family.
Before opening to the public in 1975, Filoli was once a private residence. The stunning estate transports guests back in time through the extensive efforts of the preservation team. The efforts primarily focus on the beautiful time capsule of the home, which represents what once stood in 1917.
After touring the house, you can enjoy an afternoon exploring the many blooms that bring the property to life throughout the year. Because you won’t want to leave these gorgeous blooms, stop at the Quail Cafe before heading to the meadow to enjoy a scenic picnic. With meals, snacks, and afternoon tea, the extensive menu offers options suitable for every guest.
If you’re seeking a more structured option, Filoli offers an extensive series of events, from spring teas to behind-the-scenes tours, to help you fully immerse yourself in the unique property. To make the most of your visit, tune into one of their daily talks, where you’ll get insider knowledge of current blooms and happenings.
