A dairy ranch in the past, this 60 acre (24.28 hectares) park bordering a part of central San Rafael and Sleepy Hollow is a good destination for outdoorsy people. It is a great hiking spot with trails leading into the surrounding hills and ridgeline. A visit here is a great way to spend time with nature.
The Fischer-Hanlon House was once the residence of Joseph Fischer. A fine example of the East Coast Federalist style of architecture, the house is one of the surviving structures of the California gold rush.
The Anderson's Conn Valley has 26 acres (10.5 hectares) of vineyards, divided into nine blocks. These produce above 16,000 cases annually. The vineyards are known for the artfully crafted blends like Éloge, Éloge Gold and the newest Bordaeaux-style blend, Right Bank. What is unique about this place is the extended time of barrel-aging in two underground caves. Wines, such as Cabernet Sauvignon and Éloge are stored for a minimum of two years in barrels, prior to bottling. This is the secret to wines of good color, taste, and smell.
