New American Restaurant · Larchmont · 10 tips and reviews
eric bornemann: One of the best restaurants in LA. Always inventive and delicious, yet somehow this place doesn’t get the recognition it certainly deserves.
eric bornemann: Great park with lots of different scenery to explore. Park by the Pygmy Forrest and check that out before doing the Fern Canyon loop for a great easy hike.
eric bornemann: You cant pick a more charming town to stay in to explore this part of the world. Beautifully preserved building on a wild headland make for magical nights when you hear the waves from your bedroom.
eric bornemann: Absolute gem of a winery set up in an old mill that makes for an idyllic tasting on a hot summer day. The Pinots and Gewürztraminer are outstanding. One of the best stops in the valley.
eric bornemann: Great little restaurant in a cute Victorian cottage with a lovely outdoor patio and garden. Good seafood and wine selection. One of the best options in town.
eric bornemann: Spectacular redwood grove just off the main highway. Make sure you do all the loops of the discovery trail. Empty on early summer mornings when the temperature is 20 degrees lower than the valley.
eric bornemann: Great farm and winery. The tour is great with kids. Cheese is more interesting than the wine. The Boont Corner Tomme, Blue and Velvet Sister are stellar. They ship in CA as well!

Zoo Exhibit · East Beach · 42 tips and reviews
eric bornemann: Nice small zoo that is really ideal for kids. Grounds are beautiful and very well maintained. A membership is great for early admission when you can feel like you have the place to yourself.
eric bornemann: By far one of the best wineries in the valley. The white pinot noir is an outstanding surprise as is the estate red Pinot. Doug is awesome as is the little cottage you can stay in on via Airbnb.
