WINE TOURING
When you think of California wineries, Napa and Sonoma are,
of course, the places that jump to mind. But long before
Napa was the center of wine culture in California, the rolling
foothills of the Sierra Nevada were home to some of the
most scenic and fruitful wineries in the state. Prohibition
changed that -- the wineries in this former Gold Rush area
folded and didn't recover for nearly 50 years .Today it's
home to more than 40 thriving wineries, many of them now
producing celebrated vintages.
DINING AND SHOPPING
From casual to elegant, you will find a wealth of opportunities
to experience the culinary delight of this Gold Country
region. And the shopping? Here you will find a multitude
of small town stores filled with fascinating goods, interesting
people, one-of-a-kind antiques and collectibles.
