California is a fertile, peaceful place where you’ll find a near-equal balance of vineyards and deserts, beaches and mountains, hippies and traditionalists. Catch an epic wave in Big Sur or swirl a glass in Napa Valley. Be dazzled by the Joshua Tree night sky or just star-gaze in Hollywood. Swish down the slopes of a Tahoe ski resort, or cruise across the Golden Gate Bridge with the top down and the music blasting. Above all, don’t forget to soak up some Golden State sunshine.

The cider was all good. I visited with my adult kids and we all found something to like. Sitting in the lawn by the creek was very pleasant. A truly gorgeous spot

At the Hangar 1 Distillery, we're passionate about distilling. Our spirits are made one batch at a time in California, U.S.A.
Decided to take the tour and tasting at Hangar 1 Vodka on a perfect sunny day - we took Bart and then Lyft. Housed in a former US Naval air base, actually in a hangar. Huge space. Very knowledgeable woman tour guide who dispelled the myth that vodka comes from potatoes; introduced us to the process of distilling, and infusions, and the history of this particular craft vodka business which is headed by a woman - Caley Shoemaker. Confession: I don't usually drink vodka, but my friend doesn't like gin ... so I compromised! We were educated about how to smell and taste & the various flavors were great. For me, the Buddha Hand (a kind of citron) and the pink peppercorn. There's a bar upstairs, a store, and a seating area outside where we headed for the great view of San Francisco's skyline. We were about 13 on the tour. Check out other spots in the area too, we got sliders from a food truck, sampled wine, and there's also gin tasting at St. George Spirits.

Dry Diggings and Amador Distillery are located in El Dorado Hills just south of Highway 50. We are a small distillery that currently has over 30 brands in production. They range from brandy, rum, vodka, bourbon, rye and single malt whiskies with a few ethnic specialty offerings as well. We have a tasting room and our distillery is attached in the same building. The business park setting throws some people off, but come in and see our tasting room. If you have any questions, please get in touch with us.

I visited this winery numerous time when I was up north. My bucket list was to stay there for a few days, enjoy the wine and the peaceful surroundings. My wish was granted and I spent 3 days in their cozy guest house. Our stay was complete with a tasting of their fine wines and brandy. The accommodations were amazing and Angelique was fun and very knowedgable . Put this on your bucket list!!!
