Santa Cruz - Things to Do

You might consider adding a visit to Coastside Ranch (I think that's the name of the farm!) on highway 1 between Davenport & San Gregorio.... they have pick-your-own fruits at reasonable prices.

Also, Bonny Doon's wine that has some claim to fame (besides the ubiquitous Le Cigare Volant :-) is the Muscat Canelli, an incredibly sweet dessert wine. Wonderful stuff :-) (GDN NOTE: They are now producing a Malvasia Bianca under the label Ca' del Sol. This unique wine is produced by only one other winery in Calif., to my knowledge, and there has been nearly a 10 year absence of ANY production since Novitiate of Los Gatos was sold in 1984).

I've always wanted to know if the Bonny Doon stained glass studio (the one that made all those luscious stained glass windows for the McFly bars) does tours.  Have you heard anything about that? (GDN NOTE: Lundberg's is a small place, see above for more info).

I live in La Honda (with a husband, 2 kids, 1 cat, 4 birds, 6 rabbits :-) so I'm constantly looking for things to do locally.  Thanks for your list!

FRISBEE GOLF:

  I thought I'd add this to the Santa Cruz FAQ, but do you have more
  info on where the courses start? I know there are at least two legs
  on the upper campus (UCSC).

I do not know anything about "upper campus".

I play at Delaveaga, which is right behind the Delaveaga "normal" golf course.

I can give directions without street names, hoping that you would know the names:

17 south from Los Gatos
1  south
Morrisey exit
right at stop sign
right at tee stop - crosses over 1
left up hill to golf course
(basically follow the signs)

drive past the "normal" golf course until you come upon a dirt parking lot on the right. first tee is back across the road, in the tree (type?) grove on the right. there are 28 holes (10 are alternates). all par 3, but some should be par 5. the kiosk/bulletinboard has fliers up that describe various tournaments, and sometimes has scorecards with maps of the course. bewarned!: without a map or someone knowledgeable of the course, you will not be able to function properly. bring water! it is a good hike and there is no available water. dogs are cool to bring, just have them verbally controllable. poison oak is abundant. have yet to find a tick. wear hiking shoes (ankle support desired) with good traction. this course is a frisbee eater! lots of places to lose your disks - be very cautious if you are a beginner.

there is a sporting goods store in SC that sells disks for ~$10 each. forget the name, could be Jerry's - something with a guys name. (GDN NOTE: Probably Jerry's or Johnny's, also try Outdoor World).
