Pulchella has a fun little tasting room on Main street in Santa Clarita and a winery in the industrial area over near Ave Scott. The wine club is free to join and provides for free tastings with the purchase of 4 - 6 bottles of wine semi-annually with the new releases.

We live nearby but have only been here a few times over the years. We went this morning to get some exercise and loved it! Great place to walk around on the many trails and just enjoy nature.
3. Gibbon Conservation Center
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 59 reviews
The Gibbon Conservation Center is home to more than 40 highly endangered gibbon apes (small apes). This peaceful location is where gibbons live in family groups, raise their infants and socialize as they would in the wild. A guided tour is given at 10:00 a.m. on weekends, when they are open to the public between 9:30 a.m. and noon. Wonderful photo opportunities and a chance to watch gibbons swing from branch to branch and hear them sing their melodic songs. There is a gift shop on site. Private and school tours are available on weekdays.

Since I live on the East Coast it’s not easy to go to parks in California. I have been hearing about Six Flags Magic Mountain for more than 20 years now. Coaster Con 42 was held at SFMM this year and I couldn’t wait to visit! Coasters are everywhere...the only park I can compare it to is Cedar Point. The biggest difference Is how much more land SFMM has to still build. I will mention you need to be in pretty good shape as you constantly walk up and down the mountain! There are definitely some steep hills that are not made for everyone. The choice of coasters is amazing though. From my absolute favorite Twisted Colossus (which I rode 10 times) to the frightening X2 and Tatsu, to the rush of Full Throttle and Superman: Escape From Krypton to the inversions of Viper and Batman to the height of Goliath there really was so many thrills to be enjoyed. Six Flags also went above and beyond for Coaster Con. They couldn’t have been more accommodating. With all the ERT (exclusive ride time) they gave us to the amazing amounts of food they offered... we couldn’t have felt more special. The only downside to this entire trip was that West Coast Racers wasn’t complete yet...Which in turn closed down Apocalypse the Ride. I guess that just gives me another reason to have to return! If you love roller coasters you can’t possibly miss this park!
