I’m a big fan of wine and this winery has absolutely amazing grapes to taste. Also, check out behind the winery for gorgeous animals and nice photo op of the vineyard.

Ways to save
Transportation
The Metrolink is about 5 min from my house. This train runs around 5-10 times a day throughout Palmdale and will take you as far south as Los Angeles for only $9 one way.
Customs and culture
Culture
Palmdale and the surrounding cities are pretty much a suburban lifestyle. A lot of Los Angeles families moved out here to escape the city life so the vibe and energy is a mix between rural and the hustle and bustle of the City.
Customs and culture
Nice areas
As all cities, towns, and areas would have it, the train tracks/ freeways are a clear indication of good to bad really quick. Try to stay in the West Palmdale region. The more East you go, the “rougher” it can possible be. My property is located in the quiet, 3 car garage neighborhood of West Palmdale with all the shopping centers near it. Stay West. Thank me later.
Book before you go
Weather
Palmdale, Lancaster, and the surrounding towns can be quite hot through the day and very cold at night. So have that in mind when your doing activities throughout the day.
