Filoli during the holidays is embodies the magic to slow down, breathe in the season, and remember why this time of year feels so special 🥹

Built in 1917, this estate is one of California’s best-preserved historic homes. Today, it’s a living museum and during the holidays, it completely transforms.

Imagine:

🪴 Glowing gardens stretched across 650+ acres

🌲 Glittering light tunnels and walkways

🏛️ A mansion dressed to impress

🔥 Fire pits and hot cocoa

Filoli doesn’t just celebrate the season, it elevates it.

It’s history wrapped in holiday magic 🎄✨

If you’re in the Bay Area, save this and add Fioli to your holiday bucket list 🙌🏽
