Los Gatos: The Cat's Meow

Beautiful, lively, fun, sophisticated, walkable, historic. That’s Los Gatos, named in Spanish for the mountain lions that roamed the area when it was first settled. This vibrant Silicon Valley Town calls to those who love fine dining, wine tasting, exquisite spas and enjoying  the outdoors.

Los Gatos rests just above the floor of Silicon Valley, nestled in the foothills of the Santa Cruz Mountains at the base of a pass to the Pacific. In the 1800’s, Los Gatos became a destination and resting spot for those traveling North-South and West–East. Visitors and sightseers spurred the town’s growth and infused new cultural energy into the community that thrives to this day.

Mountain wineries dot the hillsides, and their influence spills down wooded hillsides into town, where wine tasting rooms, restaurants pouring from well-stocked cellars and shops brimming with wine paraphernalia make Los Gatos a wine lover’s paradise.

The streets bustle with residents and visitors enjoying more than 50 eateries, and 100 boutiques, stores and spas that line the streets at the heart of historic Los Gatos. Sunny summers and mild winters encourage year-round hiking, biking and touring.
