Great Gilroy Getaway:
Historical Dining Tour
Come to Gilroy and take a culinary trip through history with our self-guided progressive dining experience. Visit four unique restaurants in some of Gilroy’s oldest buildings, each with an interesting and colorful past, and check out some other historical points of interest along the way.
Be sure to take along a digital or printed copy of our COMPANION BLOG, which is your “guidebook” so you can read all about the history at each of the five featured restaurants.
Day One
Arrive in Gilroy and have lunch at historical Station 55, the former fire station. Order delicious cocteles, a seafood cocktail served with veggies in clam and tomato juice, and wash it down with a tasty margarita or draft beer.
After lunch, head just across Monterey Road on Fifth Street to take your picture in front of Gilroy’s giant garlic mural to remember your trip to the Garlic Capital of the World.
Explore treasures from the past at the antique stores on Monterey Road. You may find a piece of the past to take home with you.
Ready for more adventure? Drive out to Mt. Madonna County Park and take a hike past the ruins of “Cattle King” Henry Miller’s former summer home surrounded by ancient, majestic redwoods.
After dinner, catch some local entertainment provided by Limelight Theater or Pintello Comedy Theater.
End the night with a restful sleep in your comfy hotel room.
