They strive to make your time in their spaces exceptional and can often help you source catering, equipment, and other necessities.
Constructed between 1884 and 1922, the Winchester Mystery House is one of the most famous landmarks in San Jose. This massive mansion was built by Sarah Winchester, who inherited her wealth from the Winchester firearm company. Whether or not you believe in the ghost story that inspired its construction, its 161 rooms, 47 fireplaces, and 17 chimneys are a sight to behold.
Today, the Winchester Estate also offers several team building and group tour options. You can have an axe-throwing contest in the stables, solve an escape room, and then engage in an immersive horror experience.
