During the tour observe field harvesting, land preparation, irrigation, and bountiful crops including lettuce, strawberries, celery, cauliflower, and artichokes. Sample fresh berries and fried artichokes along the way. Lunch is hosted at a famous seafood restaurant with the late afternoon and evening at your leisure on Cannery Row. (CB, L)

Day 4
At Gilroy Gardens you will be amazed at your unique docent-guided tour of the gardens and their 19 Circus Trees. Intricate grafting techniques resulted in woven wonders made from threads of living wood. Straight tree trunks and branches were carefully bent rather than cut, and became complex and compound designs in shapes like hearts, lightning bolts, basket weaves and rings. Stop for a hosted lunch on the way back to Sacramento, returning about 5:00 pm. (CB, L)
