Palo Alto is home to Nobel Prize winners, Silicon Valley CEOs, venture capital firms, Hewlett-Packard and one of the most renowned universities and medical centers in the world.

Page 13

Though Palo Alto developed as a sleepy college town, the emergence of Stanford University in the 1970s as the nation’s leading high-technology research center paved the way for hundreds of startup businesses with connections to Stanford professors and their inventions. Thus, Palo Alto became known as the birthplace of Silicon Valley and attracted engineers and others from all over the world to pursue their dreams. The Stanford campus itself is the biggest visitor attraction, and visitors could easily spend a day or longer exploring the beautiful campus. But at a minimum any visit should also include a walk or drive through the tree-lined residential neighborhoods (among the costliest in the nation), a walk in the foothills or Baylands and some great shopping and eating in the handful of nearby business districts, including ones in Menlo Park and Mountain View.

Shopping Everything visitors need — and want — around town

W

ith fall harvest festivals, tree lightings, holiday strolls and other seasonal events in full swing, fall and winter can be the best time to enjoy the Midpeninsula’s open-air malls and shopping districts. From high-end department stores and one-of-a-kind boutiques to Michelin-starred restaurants, Palo Alto and its surrounding communities provide a variety of options, each with its own distinctive flavor and offerings.

PALO ALTO Stanford Shopping Center: With 140 luxury stores and specialty boutiques, a mix of restaurants and cafes, sculpted gardens, cultural events and a European-style street market with locally grown produce, this 1.4-million-square-foot open-air center attracts visitors yearround from near and far. The center recently underwent a multimillion dollar renovation that transformed its west end into a “lifestyle center” with gardens, grassy sitting areas, an outdoor fireplace and space for more than 25 new, not-in-every-mall shops, including AllSaints, Luisa Spagnoli, UNOde50, lululemon athletica and The North Face among others. Hermes is set to open by the end of this year. Overall, the mall saw the opening of more than 40 new stores in 2016-17. To find seasonal events, go to bit.ly/StanfordShopping Downtown Palo Alto: Centered along University Avenue, this pedestrian-friendly district packs in two movie theaters, multiple galleries, a bookstore, an eclectic mix retail stores, restaurants and bars, along a 10-block area that stretches between Alma and Tasso streets. For those interested in a firsthand look at where some of Silicon Valley’s tech giants got there start, there are also a number of historically significant buildings here, including the site of the first Apple computer store (now an athletic shoe store), as well as the offices where Google, Facebook and PayPal first opened. This district is crowded on Friday and Saturday nights, when restaurant reservations are advised, and parking can be difficult. Many downtown retailers are open in the evenings to cater to the bar and restaurant crowd. California Avenue: Just south of the Stanford campus, this five-block district between El Camino Real and Park Boulevard is quieter than downtown and features boutiques and a large number of restaurants popular with local residents. Town & Country Village: Located on El Camino Real across from Stanford Stadium, it’s hard to miss the distinctive red-tiled rooftops and rustic wood storefronts at this outdoor shopping center, which features more than 70 specialty shops, restaurants and services surrounding a network of pedestrian walkways. To find seasonal events, go to tandcvillage.com

MOUNTAIN VIEW San Antonio center: The corner of El Camino Real and San Antonio Road is home to two distinct shopping areas that were once part of a 56-acre outdoor mall built in the 1950s. San Antonio Shopping Center, located on the southernmost portion of the property, is a traditional retail center with big-box stores, including Trader Joe’s market and 24 Hour Fitness. The Village at San Antonio Center, which runs along San Antonio Road,

Castro Street: With dozens of dining choices and a mix of music venues, performance spaces, coffee shops, pubs and bookstores, the Castro Street area that runs eight blocks from El Camino Real to West Evelyn Avenue through downtown is a popular entertainment destination. Visitors can find everything from Korean barbecue, Thai-style rolled ice cream and vintage comic books to a museum dedicated to locks. To find seasonal events, go to mountainviewdowntown.com

MENLO PARK AND LOS ALTOS Downtown Los Altos: Don’t expect to find big-box retail stores in Los Altos’ six-block downtown triangle. This tree-lined district, known for its quaint small-town feel, features a mix of locally owned boutiques, restaurants, salons and other services. To find seasonal events, go to downtownlosaltos.org Downtown Menlo Park: With numerous outdoor street cafes that stay open for late-night dining, Santa Cruz Avenue is a lively destination. The district includes a mix of boutiques, galleries and shops for everyday needs. To find seasonal events, go to menloparkchamber.com

Recreation Trails, golf courses and tennis courts keep visitors busy WALK, RUN AND EXPLORE The Stanford “Dish” loop offers almost 4 miles of paved path that winds through the Stanford foothills with tremendous views of the university, Palo Alto and entire Peninsula. Stanford Avenue at Junipero Serra Boulevard. The Baylands Nature Preserve offers miles of flat walking trails that allow visitors to explore the area’s extensive wildlife habitat. See page 8. The Pearson-Arastradero Preserve, in the foothills beyond Stanford near 1530 Arastradero Road, has a network of easy trails ideal for one- to two-hour hikes and a small unstaffed visitor’s center with exhibits. Walkers with an interest in history and architecture will enjoy one of several historical walks around Palo Alto’s neighborhoods. Palo Alto Stanford Heritage (pastheritage.org) offers walking tours and brochures for selfguided ones.

GOLF ON THE GREEN Palo Alto Municipal Golf Course, located at 1875 Embarcadero Road, is set to reopen its 18-hole links area in November following a $12.5-million renovation that will integrate 55 acres of native plants and adjacent wetlands into the course. The driving range, cafe and golf shop have remained open during the renovation. 650-856-0881, bradlozaresgolfshop.com. Those with a Stanford connection (alumni or parents) can play at the Stanford Golf Course, located at 198 Junipero Serra Blvd., Stanford. At this venue, visitors will find a beautiful and long course operated by the university. 650-724-0944 (golf shop), 650-498-4461 (driving range), golfcourse.stanford.edu. At Mountain View’s Shoreline Links, located at 2940 N. Shoreline Blvd., golfers can play on the 750-acre course that offers 18 holes and acres of water hazards. 650-9034653, shorelinelinks.com.

SWING THE RACKET Palo Alto offers many public tennis courts. Those closest to hotels are the courts at Palo Alto High School (enter from 25 Churchill Ave.) and at Rinconada Park (located

Pearson-Arastradero Preserve. Photo by Veronica Weber. at 777 Embarcadero Road). Both are lit at night. There are many courts on the Stanford campus, but you are expected to have a university affiliation.

BIKE AROUND TOWN The area prides itself on accommodating and encouraging bike riding. The most popular rides use Alpine, Arastradero, Portola and Sand Hill roads to create loops of different lengths. Skilled riders wanting to cycle several hours or all day ride up to Skyline Boulevard and down to the coast and back. In Mountain View, try biking around Shoreline Lake, located in the Baylands just south of Palo Alto.

SPLASH THE DAY AWAY Both Palo Alto and Menlo Park offer lap swimming through their municipal pools — Rinconada Pool (paloaltoswim.com) and Burgess Memorial Pool (menloswim. com). But if you’re up for stand-up paddleboarding, windsurfing or renting pedalboats, rowboats, canoes or kayaks, Shoreline Lake (shorelinelake.com) is the place to go.

Palo Alto is located between the bay and foothills, and the Pacific Ocean and the beach are only a 45-minute drive away. If you want to mix together shopping, eating and beach walking, your best bet is to head for Half Moon Bay.

Wine Tasting Exploring the Peninsula’s vineyards and wineries

T

he Santa Cruz Mountains — which rise 3,786 feet above the San Francisco Bay at their highest point and stretch the entire length of the Peninsula — are home to hundreds of intimate artisan wineries and private vineyards. The region’s higher elevations, cooler temperatures and frequent fog, provide the perfect micro-climate for growing Pinot noir and Chardonnay grapes. If you have at least a few hours, it’s worth taking a scenic drive (tinyurl.com/ScenicWineDrive) along the winding mountain roads to visit some of these wineries and take in the panoramic view of Silicon Valley.

VINEYARDS NEAR PALO ALTO PORTOLA VINEYARDS 850 Los Trancos Road, Portola Valley, 650-332-4959; portolavineyards.com. Since 2005, the Lehmann family has been producing hand-crafted vintages at their estate vineyard in the Peninsula foothills. The micro-winery is known for its Pinot noirs. Tours and tastings are available for groups of five or more and must be arranged in advance. Distance from Palo Alto: 7.8 miles/18 minutes THOMAS FOGARTY WINERY & VINEYARDS 19501 Skyline Blvd., Woodside, 650- 851- 6777; forgartywinery.com.

The winery is known for its Chardonnay and Pinot noir wines. The tasting room is open from noon to 4 p.m., Mondays; and 11 a.m. to 5 p.m., Wednesdays-Sundays. Distance from Palo Alto: 19.3 miles/38 minutes

IF YOU’RE SHORT ON TIME... WOODSIDE VINEYARDS (winery/tasting room) 205 Constitution Drive, Menlo Park, 650-851-3144; woodsidevineyards.com. Founded in 1963, this family-operated winery produces Cabernet wines from the award-winning La Cuesta vines, which were hand-carried from France and initially cultivated in the area in 1884. All grapes are hand picked and sorted into small lot production. Its winery operations and tasting room, Auto Vino, are located in a warehouse in an industrial area in Menlo Park. Auto Vino features a collection of rare and exotic cars on
