VINEYARD AT WESTLAKE VILLAGE INN
travelgourmet Says: It is happening right here in Westlake Village proper. A vineyard is being born on the property of the Westlake Village Inn. I don't know the landscape artist, but it looks like it will be a true vineyard ala Napa, well, a mini-Napa. Olive trees outline the property with...
travelgourmet Says: Westlake Village has a lake. It is a private lake for residents and guests of the residents only. Sorry, but that's the way it is. Homes surround the lake and many are on an Island. All of them have their own dock off their yards. But, you can enjoy the view. Walking on the...

Stonehaus: There is a new Wine Bar in Town
travelgourmet Says: First things first. A vineyard was designed for the northeast corner of Agoura Road and Lakeview Canyon Road in Westlake Village on the beautiful grounds of the Westlake Village Inn Resort. Included in the property is the "hot spot" at night for Westlake Village, Bogie's...
MEDITERRANEO: BISTRO STYLE DINING
travelgourmet Says: This restaurant has an outstanding Italian bistro style flair with not only excellent food choices but an excellent view from the outside tables of the Swan Pond. Cozy up with a table next to the inside fireplace for that special occasion. Plenty of ambiance here to put a...
FIN'S SEAFOOD GRILL: SEAFOOD HEAVEN
travelgourmet Says: Located in the Westlake Plaza Shopping center, west side, sits this unassuming frontage of a restaurant. The only giveaway that something good may be inside is the outside tables that after 6pm are crowded. You have been looking at FIN'S Seafood Grill. Inside is a cozy bar...
ZIN BISTRO AMERICANA: LAKE FRONT DINING
travelgourmet Says: Zin Bistro Americana has one advantage over the many choices for restaurants in Westlake Village. It sits next to the lake in Westlake Village. The food dishes are American style with decent size portions. Entering the restaurant and one gets good vibes from the sleek lines...
CAFE FIRENZE: NEARBY IS FABULOUS FABIO VIVIANI
travelgourmet Says: Cafe Firenze, an Italian gourmet restaurant, is not located in Westlake Village, but it is so close and the drink and food creations are so fabulous, I have included the recently returned owners Fabio Viviani, executive chef, and Jacopo Fallieni, mixologist, venture Cafe...
BOCCACCIO'S: LAKESIDE FINE DINING
travelgourmet Says: Boccaccio's is located by the lake in Westlake Village. Outside umbrella tables are choice seating in warm weather. Inside is an inviting seating area with a view of the lake out the windows. Many of their dishes could be called gourmet, but that might keep some from being...
Founders Room, Fred Kavli Theatre: Party time at the Theatre
travelgourmet Says: What to wear, what to wear. That will be the only problem if you go to a VIP Red Carpet Affair. Opening night of a Reading, Music, Play or Musical is a great night out. The community of Thousand Oaks, CA has one of the finest Civic Arts Plazas and top talent in all forms of...
BOGIE'S LOUNGE: BOOGIE AT BOGIE'S
travelgourmet Says: Let me entertain you, shouts the outdoor Southern California lounge, "Bogie's". This is the "hot" night spot for Westlake Village. Private rooms, firepit, and fireplace tables ring the onyx bar. The outside view of the grounds with a pond and waterfall with the backdrop of...
travelgourmet Says: Most of the locals believe they have a piece of heaven in their home. A city out in the country. This is the land of plenty for a few but still the young and restless try to find an abode in the area as well. There are some rentals and the prices are not on the kind side....
A Tree is a Tree, but a Bonsai is a Work of Art
travelgourmet Says: What does Bonzai mean? That is the question many ask. So let us go to the pros and find the answer. The Conejo Valley Bonsai Society has a Mission Statement, which I quote: "The Conejo Valley Bonsai Society is an organization dedicated to promoting the ancient art of bonsai....
travelgourmet Says: PRIVATE. That's the sign on the door. This is a residents only club and at the present time to only a select few. 250 member families belong to this yacht club. They do have guests over. The building, itself, is like a beacon for Westlake Village Lake.Across the way, are the...
Helpfulness
One main concern in Westlake Village is a brush fire. The dry windy air and the hot days of summer can spell more than danger, but pure trouble. The hills and brush that are all around Westlake Village become a fire hazard for the entire community.
So, please don't throw cigerette ashes or butts out of a vehicle. Don't play with fireworks or matches in our hills. We are on constant watch for smoke in the hills. That means trouble. That means where there is smoke, there is fire. Thank you for being careful and caring.
In 2012, we have been lucky so far, but a large brush fire has been on the other side of the mountain in the Pacific Palisades/Malibu area above the Will Rogers State Park. Please, again I ask you, to be careful with any flame, cigarettes, cigars, pipe, firepit, campfire any where in the Southern California area. Our scrub brush mountains go up in flames from the heat alone on many a day of late summer.

Opening Night at the Fred Kavli Theatre
travelgourmet Says: OPENING NIGHT!. Light the lights! Things look grand. Look out, here comes the "Peanuts" gang in the Broadway Musical "You're A Good Man, Charlie Brown" presented by the Cabrillo Music Theatre of Thousand Oaks. Westlake Village is just a stones throw to the Thousand Oaks...

travelgourmet Says: Okay! Westlake Village has a public golf course! Yes, it's true. Some things can be enjoyed by all in Westlake Village. Not many public courses are left and this is one golf course that is a real pleasure to play. The 18 regulation holes are laid out so that they don't...
Pagoda tranquility with flutest Lance Bolton
