Auburn James Winery

Had a great wine tasting experience at Auburn James Winery! We had met their wine club manager, Hollie, the night before and she invited us to come to the winery. Eric oversaw the tasting and also gave us a tour of the property. Hollie joined us as well. It was a great experience!

Finally got to see this place! Hiked up and back, absolutely beautiful up there! Now this is a "go-to" place for our daily walks. The grounds are beautifully kept up. You see cows grazing right next to you. You can take many trails and venture the hills. Although we have not been able to go inside the house itself, due to Covid 19, we peeked inside the barn, where they have a stage set up for performances. Love the peacefulness there. Oh, besides the cows, you will see vultures, woodpeckers, wild turkeys, many different birds, etc... LOVE!!

Blackhawk Museum

Since opening in August 1988, the Blackhawk Museum has displayed classic automobiles and myriad exhibitions exemplifying art, technology and history. Local students, residents and international visitors enjoy educational presentations, cultural programs and volunteer opportunities. Since the beginning it has been home to the Automotive Gallery with over 55 vintage, classic, rare and sports automobiles on display. These automobiles are regarded as works of art and range from the dawn of the motoring age through the 1960's. In 2015, a new exhibition, The Spirit of the Old West opened, telling the story of the western frontier from the perspective of both the Native Americans and the settlers before, during and after the expansion west. The exhibition features authentic artifacts from the period, a large diorama depicting key historic moments, scenes of wildlife from the frontier and other elements that bring the past to life.

The Blackhawk Museum is truly a wondrous place if you’re a classic automobile enthusiast, restorer or someone who just plain likes cars. The collection ranges from the early 20th century all the way to today with a little something for just about every era of automotive history. My favorites have always been the Auburn’s, Cord’s and Duesenberg’s of which there are always one or two world class specimens on display. Sadly, I’ve heard rumors that with the passing of its founder Ken Behring a short while ago, that the facility could be repurposed in the next few years to come. That would truly be a loss for the area and classic car community in Northern California. Go, enjoy it before it’s too late. It’s worth the drive from Danville Or even Istanbul. Cheers.

Museum of the San Ramon Valley

Reviewed By TJWilliamsDanville - Danville, United States

If you ever want to get a sense of San Ramon Valley history, this little museum - staffed by many committed volunteers - is the place to bring your children as well as friends/family who many be visiting. The museum showcases life in this valley from yesteryear ... from the way the native Americans inhabited the valley to the history of the ranchers. It's clear that the founding families of Danville and San Ramon have donated much of their families' histories (in the form of display-worthy equipment and artifacts) to showcase in this little museum.
