(Parking – see below)
See you at Rossotti's Alpine Inn – whether you're coming straight from a scenic hike or joining us after work for networking and socializing in a beautiful setting (some of our SVC Board members will be in attendance and tables will have signs). Please note, attendees are responsible for their own food and beverage expenses. Review the parking See parking availability below.
Even though the event is free, we request that you register so that we can get an idea of how many hikers (approximately) and how many will be joining us for the networking time.
A Bit of History – Rossotti's Alpine Inn has been in operation for over 167 years. In 2018, after the property had been put up for sale once again, the Portola Valley community became rightfully worried about its fate. In a joint purchase by three local PV families and a partnership with Greg St Claire and the Avenir Restaurant Group it was restored and reopened in 2019.
Parking: Rossotti’s encourages guests to carpool, utilize ride share, horseback ride in, or bike in. All guests who arrive in a full car with 4+ adults will either receive front-row parking or a coupon for a free pitcher of beer if the front-row parking is full. The parking lot is staffed with attendants. Be mindful of parking on public roads. Please do not park vehicle in any way that blocks bikers and other vehicles. Cars parked over the white line on public roads can be ticketed and/or towed.
