Saratoga

Among the cities of California, Saratoga stands out for its foothill setting beneath the Santa Cruz Mountains and its Japanese garden heritage. Saratoga Creek runs from the mountain slopes through a community whose Big Basin Way downtown retains a leafy, small-scale character despite its place in Silicon Valley. Hakone Estate and Gardens, created as a Japanese-style retreat in the early 20th century, is among the oldest Japanese gardens in the Western Hemisphere. The Mountain Winery above town continues the site’s connection with vineyards while hosting concerts.
