A two-day North Valley & Chico wine country itinerary: where to taste, eat and linger, built from local knowledge.
Saturday for Chico and Durham, LaRocca, Almendra, Gale's reclaimed-timber cellar, Sunday for the Oroville loop anchored by Grey Fox's dependable noon-5.
The region sits 90 minutes north of Sacramento around Chico, Durham, Oroville and the Sutter Buttes, which makes the logistics easy and the pace unhurried.
April through October for the foothill calendars; the Chico and Durham rooms make any season work.
Confirm hours before every stop; the family-scale rooms that make this region special also adjust their schedules with the seasons.
Every winery we track in the region, each with its own page.
