Activities and Nearby Attractions or Points of Interest:
In spring, the valleys warm and the rolling hillsides flower; a perfect time to drive through the Wine Country. Start in Healdsburg and learn about all things wine at the Sonoma County Wine Library. Head south to Santa Rosa, Sonoma County's largest city; admire the Shasta daisies and Santa Rosa plums of a renowned horticulturalist at the Luther Burbank Home & Gardens. Continue on to the Sonoma Valley. Visit Jack London State Historic Park and hike the same trails the author and resident strode on the northeast flank of Sonoma Mountain. Relax, post hike, with a movie at the restored Sebastiani Theatre in Sonoma. And don't ignore Sonoma's famous cheeses; try the Sonoma Cheese Factory for starters. In Napa, take a ride and enjoy a meal (you did reserve ahead, right?) in restored historic Pullman Dining & Lounge Railcars of the Napa Valley Wine Train as you watch vineyards slowly pass by. Head north through the Napa Valley admiring the parade of wineries; Schramsberg Vineyards, just north of St. Helena, makes some of the world's finest champagne. South of Calistoga, stop in at Castello di Amorosa, a brand-new winery ensconced in a perfect replica of a European castle Most everyone sets out to Gold Country to uncover its history. And they'll find plenty-Gold Rush tales abound. But the charming towns of the Sierra foothills are also an ideal place for a quiet, romantic getaway. Forgo the gold-mine tours on this loop from Sacramento to Amador City to Placerville, and back. Sacramento's California State Railroad Museum is regarded as the country's finest. The complex includes the 100,000-square-foot Railroad History Museum, plus the reconstructed Central Pacific Railroad Passenger Station and Freight Depot, the 1849 Eagle Theatre, and Big Four and Dingley Spice Mill commercial buildings. Exhibits include the largest collection of vintage toy trains (1,000) and genuinely attired lifelike figures-surveyors, laborers, engineers, dining-car cooks-who bring a very human face to history. Be sure to take a look at the "lost" golden spike (it resurfaced in 2005), partner to the last spike (also gold) driven into the completed Transcontinental Railroad on May 10, 1869. For real railroad buffs, the museum's library offers rare archival readings and artifacts. But in summer (and on through September), the real fun is outside, aboard the museum's steam engine. On Saturdays and Sundays, on the hour, the train leaves from the lovingly reconstructed Central Pacific Railroad Freight Depot (on Front Street between J and K Streets) in Old Town Sacramento, heading out on a 6-mile, 40-minute ride along the levees of the Sacramento River. To ride beside the mud-brown river, steam and whistles rushing past, is to feel the past, an era when the trains once headed for points around the country loaded with the fruits, vegetables, and grains of a fertile Delta flood plain.
