• Join Hidden Villa For Their Annual Tomato Tasting
  Saturday, October 22nd, 2 to 4 pm
  Free event for all ages (RSVP required)
  Hidden Villa cultivates heirloom tomatoes in a rainbow of colors and a variety of shapes, flavors and textures. Our Agriculture Crew invites you to join in a blind taste test and sampling of a dozen of their best (and most unique) varieties. You might recognize your familiar red tomatoes, but will they win out over the less traditional mellow purple, zingy green or sweet yellow varieties? Join us to cast your vote! Winning tomatoes will have their seeds collected and planted again next season.To attend this event contact the Development Department at development@hiddenvilla.org or650-949-9702. An RSVP is required for this free event so we can provide enough tomato samples for guests.
