I love the 15 minute drive from the freeway to get to Cal Yee Farms...it is a beautiful drive! This is an awesome place to get CA gold dried fruits and nuts and make your own gift baskets. Highly recommend this historical shop, and suggest stopping on your way back at one of the Suisun Valley wineries for a tasting.
3. Travis Air Force Base Heritage Center
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 89 reviews
Located on Travis Air Force Base Gateway to the Pacific, Gateway to the World! The mission of the Travis AFB Heritage Center is to educate Airmen assigned to Travis AFB and the 60th Air Mobility Wing (AMW) in their development and understanding of the history of each, portraying the significance and importance of its worldwide strategic air mobility, humanitarian airlift efforts and nuclear deterrence through the use of static aircraft and informative exhibits.

This is worth the stop to see a lot of static displayed planes and inside interesting exhibits. The museum is housed in the old base commissary and is rather large. Visiting can be problematic. If you are retired military you just drive up to the gate, show your ID and drive to the museum. If non-military, you will need to park outside and take the shuttle that they run. To avoid disappointment check their web site for current information.

I just did a couple of reviews so I will keep this short. It is very pretty, friendly, cheap, and a lot of fun. We enjoyed our oil tasting, a flight of wine, and a very large gourmet “Charcuterie board” snack tray. All with educational info. And all under $50. Go, you will not regret it. Check their website for a variety of activities
