California has an amazing wine country, with several vineyards that provide excellent wine. There are many family wineries here, including those in Sonoma Valley, Napa Valley, the Medocino area, and Santa Barbara. Here you can take part in the famous wine tasting, vineyard tours, seminars, and bring something back home with you from one of the many shops.

But this is a place for more than just wine and cheese, you can tour in a bus, jeep, limo, carriage, or even a hot air balloon. Many tour packages are also available, that can appeal to any taste or budget. You can tour the ever popular Napa Valley, and have a package that includes lunch or dinner, a mystery theatre, mountain biking, spa or overnight resort accommodation. These tours include historical information, descriptions of the process and other interesting facts.

Visiting California’s wine country can be the perfect solution to that little weekend get away you had been planning. Whether its a romantic vacation, or time to unwind with friends and family. If you’re planning your vacation, be sure to choose a good time of year, closer to the harvest. However, there are year round opportunities and tours, just consider the weather factor for your next vacation.
