The menu features assorted breakfast pastries, fresh seasonal fruit, a baby potato medley hash with wild arugula, roasted asparagus, leek, and goat cheese frittata, a waffle bar, and more.
After brunch, guests will enjoy the 65-minute Mansion Tour, which provides access to 110 of the 160 rooms of Sarah Winchester’s stately home, as well as an in-depth guide to the bizarre attributes that give the mansion its name.
Located in San Jose, California, the Winchester House (via Wiki) “was once the personal residence of Sarah Winchester, the widow of firearm magnate William Wirt Winchester. Located at 525 South Winchester Blvd. in San Jose, the Queen Anne Style Victorian mansion is renowned for its size, its architectural curiosities, and its lack of any master building plan. It is a designated California historical landmark and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. It is privately owned and serves as a tourist attraction.”
“Since its construction in 1884, the property and mansion were claimed by many to be haunted by the ghosts of those killed with Winchester rifles. Under Winchester’s day-to-day guidance, its from-the-ground-up construction proceeded around the clock, by some accounts, without interruption, until her death on September 5, 1922, at which time work immediately ceased.”
The Winchester Mystery House also provides daily estate tours.
