Marian Hawkes: We LOVE Rivino Winery. They have the best sunsets in town. It’s a really beautiful space… and the wine is fantastic. Worth a visit for sure. We hosted a birthday there, it was the perfect location! Great staff.
Lo Truglio Banger: This is a nice little park that is small but still robust and one that you can use to chill and enjoy. Thats really all you need. I hope you like it. You can picnic on the grass area if you feel the urge. You can choose to throw a Frisbee as well because there is room. Or bring your hackey sack. Thats fun. I think the kids are into that again. This is definitely a great park for you and yours to enjoy if you choose to do so. But you are not allowed to barbecue here, so Im sorry about that.
Jared Bender: Incredible museum! Never heard of Grace before entering and left with chills feeling amazed at her life and legacy. Extremely talented artist with a beautiful heart. Used her talents to do good and leave this world better than she found it.
Anne Margaret White: What a special place! Had the fortune of walking around the grounds as a visitor on a lovely spring afternoon. Enjoyed the visitors center with the back story of the facility. So fun to peep out the windows at all the peacocks wandering about. Beautiful, serene, and vibrant. Lovely landscaping and beautiful spirit. Thanks!
Marc A. Tager: I’ve hiked a lot of places, but Montgomery Woods has this kind of ancient, mossy magic that hits different. The moment I stepped onto the trail, I felt like I had entered a secret redwood cathedral quiet, cool, and full of wild energy. These trees are seriously old. Like… older than most countries old. And they’re still standing tall and majestic like Earth’s original guardians.
The hike itself is peaceful, not too strenuous, and full of little surprises twisty roots, spring flowers, and that filtered sunlight that makes everything look straight out of a fairy tale. I even spotted a banana slug just vibing in its own little world. Respect.
I brought some water, took my time, and just soaked in the stillness. There’s something deeply grounding about this place. It makes you want to whisper and walk slower. I didn’t expect to get emotional in a forest, but here we are.
If you’re looking to reconnect with nature, slow your roll, and breathe some real-deal fresh air, Montgomery Woods delivers. Just don’t rush it this place deserves your full attention.
Five stars from me. Can’t wait to come back and bring someone I care about.
