Berryessa Art and Wine Festival

Every year on the Saturday of Mother's day weekend, San Jose holds the Berryessa Art and Wine Festival very near Milpitas and bordering Penitencia Creek. Even though this is a one day festival, there are many booths and quite a few locals as well as travelers to this event. Featuring music throughout the day and a variety of food booths as well as wines and beer from different California sources such as Gugliemo and Gordon Bierch. One of my favorite stops every year is a booth run by Jon from Watsonville. He comes up with new and unusual solar powered garden devices that move and wiggle in the sun. No garden is complete without a wiggly solar powered bug in my own humble opinion. This year also had a police horse wandering the grounds to keep and eye out for problems or spare carrots. Next year I will have to remember to bring a spare carrot just in case. I purchased a mesh cowboy hat so that I can garden in the shade and still feel the breeze. There was also some jewelry that was absolutly lovely at Beadzilla that I had to have. I also managed to pick up a couple of small items for Mom who couldn't come with me this year. There is plenty of parking and the area has a very nice small lake and is a pleasant place to eat and walk about. the atmosphere is very child friendly and I make it a point to always come to both this art and wine festival as well as the Milpitas Art and Wine festival in August.
