Speakeasy Tour
Many neighbors may not realize that Monterey Heights homes built during Prohibition (1920’s) contained a speakeasy - a separate entrance to the home leading to a walled off room with bar; some were small, some quite elaborate. Two Monterey Heights residents with their original speakeasy bars will host this unique evening event.
This will be invitation only for adult MH residents, so make sure we have your email to receive an invitation later this fall.
Holiday Caroling
Bring your family and holiday cheer and join us for our annual Monterey Heights Holiday Caroling event. Light snacks, desserts, and beverages will be served to warm up our voices. Details for this early evening event on Rosewood Blvd will be forthcoming.

Second Lives Garage Sale
Let’s help our treasures find new homes right here in our Community!
In collaboration with our Westwood Highlands neighbors, MHHA will organize a garage sale. Items that do well at sales include garden tools & furniture, craft supplies, games, toys, and sports equipment, especially bikes. Jewelry & home decorative pieces sell well, too.
Interested volunteers, please contact president@montereyheightssf.org to help organize the event, to serve as a sale site, or to drop off items to be sold.
Wine & Olive Oil Tasting
Wine with nibbles always tastes better when enjoying it with neighbors!
Taking place in the backyards of 2 adjoining MH homes, the wine tasting will be provided by Highway 12, a winery founded by Paul Guisto, a MH resident’s son-in-law, and Michael Sebastiani. Highway 12 produces about 20 varietals, suitable for anyone’s tastes and pairings. Towani Olive & Vine will provide the olive oil tasting. Towani is a family-owned farm nestled among the beautiful Towani Pines on Pine Mountain near Cloverdale that started as a hobby by MH resident Greg Naeve & family.
Keep a look out for more information to be emailed to MH residents in the future.
There will be a charge of $25 per person.
