South Santa Clara Valley is a homebuyer’s mecca and attractive refuge from soaring prices, shrinking lots, and dwindling inventory that are plaguing the housing market across most of the Bay Area.

Open from 1-4 p.m. Saturday and Sunday, the homes range from about 1,450 to more than 4,600 square feet on as many as 2.5 acres. Refreshments will be served and information about the wine trail, available lots for sale and the Morgan Hill community will be available.
The rural South Valley communities of Morgan Hill, Gilroy and San Martin, quietly sit between the bustling energy of Silicon Valley and the natural beauty of California coastal cities along the Monterey Bay. Morgan Hill’s charming downtown, rich historic character, beautiful parks and lakes, annual festivals, awardwinning wineries and gourmet restaurants provide an ideal setting with room to spread out in luxurious custom homes and an affordable lifestyle.
Many of the wineries have called the South Valley home for generations and today produce many varietals in what is considered a near-perfect grape growing climate. The rich history of winemaking in this area dates back to the first planting of Mission grapes at the Santa Clara Mission in 1798.
Today, Gilroy, Morgan Hill and San Martin are home to a growing number of awardwinning wineries including Solis, Jason Stephens, Fortino and Guglielmo, a family-owned winery that has been making wine since the repeal of Prohibition in 1933. More than 300,000 acres within Santa Clara County, including the South Valley, have been given the distinction of an American Vitacultural Area (AVA). The annual Santa Clara Valley Fall Passport Weekend each October features more than 20 participating wineries.
