Fodor's Expert Review Allied Arts Guild

A popular site for photo shoots, weddings, and events, this landmark built in 1929 is known for its gardens, gorgeous Colonial Spanish architecture, and artist studios, where you can buy directly from the artists. The main Artisan Shop continues the guild’s mission to help the community, with profits going to the children’s hospital at Stanford. Docent tours are given six days a week, and the on-site Café Wisteria is a picturesque choice for a leisurely lunch.
