Donuts to trailhead: a full South Bay Saturday
This one runs Los Gatos to Cupertino with stops across San Jose and Milpitas in between. Start with a no-frills donut counter, browse the Rose Garden farmers' market while it's cool, then trade a Cajun seafood lunch for an afternoon of pours at Silver Mountain Vineyards up on its namesake drive. Tacos at El Bombero 408 set you up for a golden-hour walk at Rancho San Antonio, where 25 miles of trails share the preserve with a working farm and a model plane launch.
